Modeling general discussion
Paul Scoles Layout
It was sad to hear about Paul's passing. I knew Paul for 20+ years, he used to live down here in SoCal when he was in HOn3.
He was a gifted modeler and artist, he used basic techniques on his layout, but they were very effective.
Paul allowed me to photograph his layout about 2 years ago. For those who have not had the chance to see his layout. I have uploaded about 100+ photos to my Flickr account.

Another Online service changing.... HOI moved to Facebook
Just a s little FYI, HOInterchange (previously HOYardSale) moved away from Yahoo Groups to Facebook this week.
I know a lot of people here use HOI as a valuable resource, so if you are looking for them you can find them here:

railroad scanner app
Does anyone know of a smartphone app that will let you listen to railroad radio traffic. I have found a couple that listen to public service radio and ham repeaters but can't seem to locate one that picks up trains.
How absurd
I defy anyone to accurately replicate this on their layout and make it work.
I know I've seen outback preservation railways on TV get like this, but that's due to a lack of resources. This is just plain stupid.
HO and N scale figurines. Any way of making adjustments?
I'm looking at painting my own figurines for HO and N scale. Buy the bag of unpainted figurines for cheap and then paint accordingly. I need to change some arm and leg positions of some to reflect the scene they will be in. Like sitting or arms in the air (volley ball game). what is the best and safest way to achieve this? Heat them with a low temp soldering iron? Hot air gun? Blow dryer? Warm water?
what have you guys done to reposition your people into the positions you need them in?
Suggestions?
WWII Service Men & Women in N-Scale?
Hello all!
My N scale railroad is set in the summer of 1945. Something that I think would go a long way towards reinforcing the time period would be to have some appropriate era military personnel hanging around at the passenger station, hopefully they are waiting for their connecting trip home.
I've pretty much scoured the 'net and have come up empty. Anybody out there know of such figures?
Thanks!

Canadianna Modelling
I am curious about how many people actually model or have a "Canadian-only" layout.
People model Australian, New Zealander, Chinese, Russian, German, French, British, Mexican, American, Norwegian, Peruvian, Japanese etc railroad which is all good and a proof of how great this hobby really is.
I am interested to hear from people who have a Canadian Layout.
Justice & Hangtree?
Got this Oriental Limited Powerhouse 2-4-4-2 on ebay.
Lettered for the "Justice & Hangtree" I wonder if anyone can tell me anything about this model railroad?
There has been quite a lot of equipment for sale on ebay from several sellers.
I also bought a reefer and a boxcar, most of the equipment are quite nicely painted.
Many hoppers suggest an eastern location.
Sellers are from Kentucky and Ohio (Cincinnati area) if that's any clue?
