Hello fellow railroaders!!

I am attempting to scratch build a Vanderbilt tender for a future layout I want to build.  I am using Evergreen styrene for 75% of the tender and Plastruct butyrate half-round plastic for the tender tank.  I am, sorry for using "I am" so much, having issues getting the styrene & butyrate to form a strong bond.  Here are the plastic cements I have tried so far:

I have been honing my skills in regards to making fir trees. I found a technique I liked that is labor intensive but the results are really good. The style of tree was not exactly what I wanted and I made some modifications to better represent trees in Oregon. 

I have made enough trees that I am now making consistent conifer trees. 

I have complained about Ebay before with very little sympathy for what I had to say.  That's O.K., we are all individuals and interpret things differently.  My latest problems with Ebay is that things have changed significantly since I started using Ebay in 2002.  Yesterday I listed a few items that I have had for a couple years thinking I would eventually use them.  Well, having decided that I am probably going to start over with a small layout in On30, much of these items will never be used and so selling on Ebay makes sense!

Howdy! I have a couple old steam and diesel locos that I'd like to re-motor with can motors, but I have no idea where to begin. How does one figure out what motor to use, and where can I buy them? I'm assuming new gearing is required, how does one go about that?

Thanks!
