A friend of mine has a new HO Rivarossi Big Boy with cab number 4018.  He wants to change the cab, tender rear and smokebox top numbers to 4014.  He has new Microscale decals but is unsure how best to remove the existing numbers.  Can anyone share what has worked for them in cases like this?

Thanks,

Howdy y'all!

I wanted to share with you a layout that myself and my friend Ford are building for the UK exhibition circuit. It's modular due to needing to be transportable, so technically I guess this could be considered a TOMA thread.

We started with three modules, 3 feet by 2 feet, and are hopefully going to extend it with further modules as time goes on.

Here's some photographs from the first show we took the layout to - it's still a work in progress, but is fully functional as a layout, so we've been having fun running trains. :)

Here’s something I saw before I laid the track for my railroad.  It was in the Dream, Plan, Build series that Model Railroader put out.  It showed up on YouTube today so I thought I’d pass it along.  That way when I come to visit your layout it will look as good as it runs!?!???

Maybe someone who can remember will make a better link!

If you haven’t used ME flex track yet, watch this first!!!

Does anyone know if an Easy Dcc command station from 1997 will work with todays JMRI Decoder Pro for motion only decoders. Specificically will it write and read back the decoder.
