HOW TO BUILD A MODEL RAILROAD TIMETABLE
A while back I posted some videos on Time Table and Train Orders (TT&Os). There were several requests that we show how to build a model railroad timetable. Doug Matheson and I got together with Michel Boucher and he took us through the concepts/considerations and steps in building the timetable for his D&H railroad. Due to the help of Randy I was able to post the Excel documents and a PowerPoint presentation that Michel generated. These will be extremely useful for those getting started using this method.
Floquil Thinner
I have some Floquil paints that I plan to use to airbrush a new paint scheme on a Loco, Alas I don't have Floquil thinners. I do have Nitrocellulose lacquer thinners which work fine with Testors Dullcote. Can some kind person please tell me if the same thinner will work with Floquil?

How useful is a dremel tool?
Hello,
Sometime in the next year I'm hoping to start tackling this building (http://www.flickr.com/photos/5632/6288237868/in/pool-1793636@N21/) With my birthday and Christmas coming up I was considering asking my family for a dremel tool. I figured it would help with cutting all those large windows. Do you have any advice when it comes to purchasing a dremel tool? Would that be the best way to cut all those large windows?
Thanks a bunch!
Regarding video about Static Grass Applicator
I dowloaded the video regarding the Static Grass Applicator. The website racooke.com is not up and running, the Negative Ion Generator is not longer available through Electronics Goldmine. The foremost is prettymuch irrelavant but the latter puzzles me. I did a search for 12V 5kV Negative Ion Generator and got numerous hits. What is the difference between a NIG and a Negatinve Ionizer?
Purchasing Strategy : "Stockpiling" VS "J-i-T"?
Dear MRHers,
As I plow thru my current layout-build project, I've necessarily been obtaining various parts and components to "git 'er done". Funnily enough though, I've found that I'm actually purchasing less than I imagined, as a quick look thru the "warehouse" reveals that I already have a significant number of the various required components on-hand.

Scale Model Animation 7 – Just for Fun! Smallest Scale Model Animation Ever?
Model animation—bringing models to life—adds enormously to the interest and enjoyment of any layout or individual model! This entry demonstrates the use of a different type of LED lighting that most people likely have not considered. It also may be the smallest scale model animation ever?

Storage Ideas...
Well our recent visit to the JL&T prompted a realisation that the layout needed to be de-cluttered and cleaned. By de-cluttered about 3/4 of the rolling stock and locomotives needed to be removed and the top deck needed a really good clean.
