Re: New eBay listing

Where is the harm in a list member mentioning a listing or another site on which items of use to many of us can be fouind for sale? There are a number of us who have found items we could use through

Re: Book of historical drawings; is it worth scanning?

Dennis, we would be happy to scan it.... Since it isn't owned by bombardier, that would remove the major impediment in how we share it... We must charge at least what Pullman did and not online for

Re: Book of historical drawings; is it worth scanning?

IF it has a copyright declaration then it is still in copyright (January 1, 1925 is the far limit right now for protection). If it doesn’t it isn’t (as is true for anything not marked up to Dec

Book of historical drawings; is it worth scanning?

It seems just when we started to talk about preserved drawings, the discussion up and died, and while it raised some questions I had, I've not had time to pursue it until now. This Christmas a long

Re: New eBay listing

Several of my groups have similar restrictions. The challenge for me is that I do not have internet at home (I spend to much time on it here at work! <G>), and I am off work Thursdays and Fridays, so

Re: New eBay listing

I'm an N Scaler, modeling the Pacific Northwest, but as long as we aren't bombarded by ads and they are Steam Era Freight Cars, I see no problems with them. One can ignore them, I did go and check it

My $0.02: for sale listings have historically been limited to Friday. Thanks! Brian Ehni (Sent from my iPhone)

Re: New eBay listing

Yes. What Bill wrote. But I thought that sales notices were limited to postings on Friday only. Then again, perhaps I have my groups confused. Cheers from “confused most of the time” Bill

Re: New eBay listing

I read the group description and goals and see no mention of selling, etc. I would prefer this group NOT become flea market but still welcome someone selling kits or completed cars, parts or being

Re: New eBay listing

Actually I enjoy this aspect t if the list. I have bought several completed models from this modeler for whom I have a great deal of respect. Had he not called attention to this I would have missed

Re: New eBay listing

Respectfully, I have to say, "why not"? Others have posted about books and new arrival freight car kits or parts so what's the difference? Personally, I don't mind seeing a plug from a member selling

Re: Does anyone use resin brake components?

Funny you should ask. Early Sunshine (or maybe even late ones) always included at least two triple valves along with the other small parts. I have always saved them and used them on kits like

Re: Does anyone use resin brake components?

Yes and No. It depends on the quality of the resin parts and the car I am using them on. Of the brake components I use the control valve the most due to the quality of many plastic ones. Surprised

Re: Does anyone use resin brake components?

Hi Tom, I'd say I use them about 60% of the time. And save most of the pieces (most kits seem to come with extras) in case I don't like the pieces in the next kit. Steve Salotti

Re: Does anyone use resin brake components?

I have about 30-40 Grandt Line AB sets left from a bulk order a few years ago that I save for special models self defined. Sunshine enclosed Bowser/Cal-Scale and Terry Wegman's sets and I use those.
