And we're back.

*tap tap* Is this thing on?

Okay, after a rough patch, we're back and looking forward to some small layout action!

Let's respond to the comments from my first post!

Redtruck, who commented on the professional look of the layout, and a Rhino model kit:  I am an old, old GW player.  :)  Thanks for the comment, the fascia really makes a layout!

Weekly Photo Fun April 8th to April 14th, 2016

Great work everyone last week!  Time to start of this week's photo thread!

As always, we get as much out of your in-process photos as we do the highly polished "all done" shots!

What's On Your Workbench - The April Fool Edition

Ok, today is April Fool. So what are you Fooling around with on your workbench? As the weather gets warmer I'm sure the modelers in the northern climates are thinking about mowing the lawn (NOT). So when April showers come to bring May flowers I'm sure a few of us will spend that time at the layout or workbench.

So let's see what you are "Fooling" around with during those April Showers.

Where the best place to sell/trade HO trains

I have a very old train set that I bought from a friend a few years ago.  It is from the 1960s.  I wanted to know where the best place would be to put ads out to sell some of the trains to get the best exposure.  Please be specific as possible. I am located in Maryland.

Thanks

Campfire circuit

I am looking for a circuit to make at least 3 or 4 lights or LED's flicker to simulate a burning campfire.

The three lights must flicker independently.

Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated,

Brian

Places to sell

I am looking for places to sell online, other than eBay. Anyone have any good places? Been down the Facebook road. Specifically, any places that specialize in craftsman kits.

4 ft LED replacements

Found 4ft LED florescent T8 replacement bulbs at Lowes for $10 each. They had the $22 variety also and the specs seemed to be the same. They were both rated at 2000 lumens, 18 watts, 50,000 hrs of life.

Requires electronic ballast starters so some of us may have to replace the fixtures or is it possible to replace the ballast?
