Cab interior lighting
I’m interested in interior cab lighting of HO modern engines.
I want to simulate the glow of control panels and the subdued lighting of a train cab at night.
Is this feasible? Thoughts?

Micro Engineering up for sale?
I just saw this on Trainorders: https://www.trainorders.com/discussion/read.php?3,5356390
They said there was an ad in December MR that Micro Engineering is up for sale?
Huh?
Rapido Trains reports theft of cargo container — recovered!
UPDATE: The container has been recovered with the Rapido items intact.
Rapido Trains has reported the theft of a cargo trailer from a terminal loaded with the HO Scale Procor tank cars and N Scale CP FP9A locomotives. The shipment was destined for two US distributors.
This was announced on Nov. 3 2021, and at the time they were not sure how long ago the theft had taken place. The trailer is still missing too.
Hi guys,

Setting up with the Sipping and Switching Society of North Carolina Nov. 6-7, 2021
Good evening,
We are heading down from Ohio to Raleigh, NC to set up with the S&SS of NC modular group this weekend.
They have a layout planned that will encompass slightly more than 25,000 sq. ft. of space in the Jim Graham Building, North Carolina State Fairgrounds, Raleigh, NC. 4285 Trinity Road, Raleigh, NC. This layout is part of the Neuse River Model RR club's show.
Please stop by and say "Hi" if you're able to come to the show!
Looking for the right adhesive
Have a couple of brass tabs where a fast thin adhesive or glue would be of benefit. Cyanoacrylate?
Recommendation of a brand, and a Fresh stock for project.
all recommendations welcomed.
I know that there are adhesive specialists here aboard.
links appreciated.
thank you.
What & Where
What do you call the brass sleeve shown in the photo and where can some one find them?
The sleeve also has a screw on the other end not visible in the photo.
All replies will be appreciated....Thanks, John
NMRA Magazine
I've been a member of the NMRA since 1994, and the modular club I belong to signed up as a 100% NMRA club to get the insurance after our original insurance carrier cancelled out coverage and said that they were no longer going to offer coverage to social clubs.
For the past few years I have not bothered subscribing to the NMRA Magazine because I don't want any more paper magazines cluttering the house. I asked the NMRA to consider a digital version of their magazine, but had not heard anything since.

What's on Your Workbench - November 2021
The days are shorter and the lawn doesn't need as much attention. You have time again for layout and workbench projects! Share notes and photos on your current workbench and layout projects!

Happy November everyone!

Ebay collecting Sale Taxes on our USED Hobby Items
Ebay collecting Sale Taxes on our USED Hobby Items
I had heard that this was coming, but just the other day I experienced it first hand. I bought a loco from a fellow in AZ and got charged the sales tax for FL where I live.
When I paid for the item with Paypal, it seems as though the purchase price went to ebay, with subsequent payment to be made to the seller.?? Thus ebay ended up being the middle-man, and required by law to collect the tax.
