Straightening Scenic Express Super Trees
Hello - I recently purchased some Scenic Express Super Trees, and most of them are bent pretty badly. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to straighten them out?
Thanks

New layout - early working draft
I moved last fall and have been pretty busy with fixer-upper tasks getting the 2005 built (but neglected) home slowly into shape.
Here is the space I have to work with - framed in but outlets and drywall still to be installed. The main space is 15' wide by 27 1/2' long with another 6' section off one end, and another 12x12' area at the far end. The stairs enter at the far right where the light is.
Sources for electrical hook up wire
So - am wanting to start accumulating an inventory of bulk, electrical, hook up wire for my forth-coming layout build project - for bus wires, feeder wires, etc.
I'm sure I could source it locally, but was curious if there was a good on-line source for this type of material. Thanks in advance for your input!

Request an Article.
I figured I'd start this thread, seeing how MRH is one of the few magazines out there where owner and staff all read these forums. (Let's see Time Magazine take requests!)
What sort of articles would you like to see in MRH?
Personally, I'd love to see some articles on building older kits. Not just structures, but car kits, or loco kits. Like someone take an old kit (eBay find, or the back shelf at the hobby shop) and just do a step by step build. Maybe give a bit of history on who made the kit, when it was availible, and tips on building it.
Bachmann 4-6-0 Sound Value Locomotive Won't Run
I have an HO Bachmann 2-6-0 Sound Value DCC locomotive that is about 3 months old. I use Digitrax Chief and JMRI to program and run my layout. I successfully programmed this locomotive to address 377 adjusted the sounds and speed table to my liking, and ran the locomotive for about 2 months.

With the expansion of the GS&M I was able to gain a lot of extra space. The problem is the GS&M was built to fit into its 12'x 20' space. At this time what is the PHX end staging is now reached via a Huge Helix down to the bottom staging level for all the shared staging on the layout (PHX - North & TUC - South).
Grandt Line is closing
I got a tip on Facebook that Grandt Line is shutting its doors. I am trying to get it out to as many places as possible in hopes that someone will pick the line up. It's a loss to model builders.
