Empty Boxes!

Empty Boxes!  What to do with them?  I have hundreds of empty kit boxes from rolling stock to craftsman kits. Some have miscellaneous junk in them or left over kit parts, others are just that, empty!  I have always kept the kit boxes but at this point in time, just what do I do with them.

I see some sold on e-bay but that seems a hassle!  ie. Too much work for to little return.

Finding storage space is getting harder and I don't want to take over any more real estate!

Throw them out?

At a crossroads with the Interim P&A

My original plan and design of the Interim P&A was this was giong to be a placeholder for what is to become the Ultimate P&A Layout in a much larger building space.

A wonderful gift for my railroad - an L&N baggage car!

One of our fellow members of the MRH site (who wishes to remain unnamed) emailed me to ask if i would be interested in having a L&N baggage car as a gift and of course I said yes.  He had received the car as part of a lot that he had won on ebay and knew that I modeled the L&N.  It's a great car and is presently in my yard area where it can looks great among all of the freight cars.  Thank you for the generous gift, my MRH friend!

Digitrax throttles - no on / off switch

Am I the only one that thinks that's its absolutely ridiculous that Digitrax throttles don't have an on / off switch forcing us to have to remove the battery?  What would it cost to add a switch? A dollar?  I added one to my throttle (voiding the warranty).  Come on, Digitrax! 

Kato HO Unitrack

I have some HO Unitrack  which I bought to evaluate whether or not to use that system for a new layout. Test results have been great. I would appreciate feedback on the current HO Unitrack range of products from people currently using the system, especially the new super-elevated curves. Do they pose any problems? Are there any other gremlins that I have not discovered yet? Thanks, Barry.

Locomotives that have not been produced in HO scale

Does anyone know of any locomotives never produced in ho scale

Laser cutters

I am looking for info on the Chinese laser cutters you see on EBay.

Would anyone who has bought one of these lasers please comment on your experiences.

Good or, especially, bad.

Are you satisfied?  Did you get a diode laser or a CO2?

I have been doing internet searches and a diode cutter seems better for our hobby.  If you have a laser cutter, please, comment on my opinion.

Thanks,

Ed

And to Joe Fugate   Thank for this great Emag.

Uploading multiple images

Is there a way to upload many images all at once?  I've been doing it one at a time with the upload tab but that gets tedious with many  images.  Can I somehow use the file browser to select all the images (like <shift>click) and sit back while the computer does all the work?

I've tried search but I only find the method to do one at a time.
