Tim, I don't know that it is "neglected" - I use it all the time for patch panels. But the reason that I did not suggest it for the application Bill is talking about is that I do not think that

I think a much neglected and excellent material is adhesive backed aluminum foil. I've only used the regular hardware store variety on models but I see from this web site that there are different

Bill - I've found this process unnecessary. You need to cut triangles of .005" stryrene to fit between the framing. Then just make a relatively deep slice across each post at the matching angle.

Bill: IIRC, Walthers decals were A LOT thicker. Now where you can find their stuff, I don't know. Have you considered sticky-backed plastic film of some sort (maybe with the glue removed and AACed

Try old Walthers decals! Those things won't even melt in Solvaset (Walther's own product). 8^) Brian Ehni

All of this talk of stock cars has me reminded of the need for stocking the cars with scale cattle. It can be expensive purchasing painted "cows" at the LHS, but i have something that might interest

I know we usually want thin material but as a look to building two of the new Westerfield ex-PRR R7 reefers as owned by FGE, I want to model the "booties" that were added to the bottom of the steel

Two 50-car trains will not fit in a 100-car siding... you're forgetting about the engine and caboose lengths. Two 50-car trains may fit in a 106-car sidings, or two 47-car trains may fit in a 100-car

If you check the archives I already explained that the F&C web site uses proprietary Microsoft functions that only come with IE.

The F&C web site has never worked correctly on my Mac. I currently use OSX 10.5.4 and Firefox 2.0.0.4 I also tried Safari 3.1.2. In both cases I can get to the links to the HO kits but the links

Sorry Jerry, it doesn't make any difference whether I navigate to this page from the base URL or directly from the subURL you have given. I just can't get any further at this point with either

I think it might have something to do with the use of frames. On a PC using Mozila/Firefox, I listed the source of the right side of the page and appended the source URL to the base for their site.

An alternative is to find a distributor site with supposedly the entire FandC catalog listed (many pictures are missing, though). Here are a

On my PC/Explorer I can expand the road name links to individual kit listings, and expand those to give details and a photo. If it works for me it may also work for him. It's difficult to diagnose a

They had these laws in several states. The train crews had their hand in it. The shorter the trains the more train would have to be run and more trainman would be working. One state had a law you

Gary, I think it probably had more to do with economics then any thing else. The big voter turnout was from Cochise Couunty, which had large mining interests, a lot of railroads. Shorter trains means
