Laser Cut Structure Bracing
I am planning on assembling my first laser cut structure. My question is, I was told to prevent any warpage of the structure that I should glue two horizontal wood strips on the backside walls of the structure. Is this a valued suggestion?
Yet another paint stripping question, ScaleTrains.com
I've seen most of the assorted "what do I use to strip the paint off of..." most manufacturers products.
But I haven't seen ScaleTrains.com mentioned yet. And I have an SD40-2 that I'd like to strip the Santa Fe paint off of, so I can repaint it into my home road colors (which likely will never be offered commercially).
Electric motor
I am having a difficult time finding a motor for my heisler. My problem is finding one with a 2.25mm shaft. Any suggestions? Thanks for your help...

Moderator: Fixed size on drawing. I find 750 works best. Clicking on it will bring it up full size in a new window.
Perishable service bites the dust. Again.
The UP has announced it is discontinuing its Cold Connect perishable service. Perishables, along with livestock seems to be a traffic segment that just never seems to really pan out for railroads. Wasn't much of a surprise for those involved with it.

Operations Testing
I got tired of doing scenery so I switched to running trains. Over the couple of weeks, I have been testing the first section of my "Train Sequence Schedule". The first 6 of 19 trains scheduled during the 0001 AM - 0600 AM time frame have been run so far and I have had to make some changes as to where trains are parked in the staging level as well as in Union Station.
Modeling my childhood home - Part 3: Figuring out dimensions
;I'll need dimensions to start the process of cutting out the parts. It's hard to believe how time flies, but it was 10 years ago that my wife, sister, and I visited my childhood home after contacting the current owner to get permission. She was very gracious and not only allowed us to take pictures of the outside but invited us inside to see the home. What a blast from the past! She has done a great job with the house and wanted me to send pictures of the finished model.
