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!

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!

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.

Project Organizer

Hello all,

Here is a photo of a project organizer I built towards the end of last year (2020) to help me be better organized when it comes to the many modeling projects that I have. (For some reason the projects seem to multiply)

When I get more time I'll post more photo's as a how-to on this project.

Stay tuned.

TrainCat Models

I first saw their exquisite kits and built up models at The Springfield Show in the early 2000's they were to the left as you entered the main building.

They had a great oil drilling derrick you could modify to gas, website shows really great light tower.

Now that I am to the point I can use them I got a surprise on the traincat2.com website.

Home page has a banner "BREAKING NEWS Due to the passing of my wife, TrainCat remains in hiatus"

How to contact others directly

Maybe I’m missing something but is there a way for us to directly message each other if needed? Maybe I’m missing something but say if I want to give my contact info to someone but not in a post?

Thanks,

Mike
