Re: Just FYI: selling on Ebay...

It is very interesting that we have two camps developing in either end of the hobby....those that want extremely technically accurate models but do not care for weathering...and those that are happy

Re: Warning Labels

John; I had the exact same experience when I was first starting to use Modelflex, and before I bought my Iwata Eclipse. Rather than tell you what to do on the paint, I just want to caution you

Re: Naperville

Gee, there's as much hot air on this list as there was over the weekend : )) Enjoyed out chats Bill, Clark Propst

Re: Naperville

Would having actual "scale air" in the air lines help or hinder the "O" scalers in resolving their dilemma?! Bill Welch

Re: Naperville

I totally agree Tony and frankly enjoyed the slower pace with fewer clinic options. I liked seeing younger modelers and more women. Bill Welch

Re: Naperville

I would just like to echo Tony's sentiments here on the meet. I had a great time and enjoyed all the clincs I attended. Here's hoping that Joe can maintain the momentum. Pierre Oliver

Re: scale operating air hoses

Andy, Folks, We've been over this before <G>. There are some magnet types that will allow this 100% of the time. IIRC, the last time this came up was when HiTech introduced their rubber air

Re: scale operating air hoses

The hoses would attract each other about 50% of the time--the other 50% they would repel. -Andy Carlson ________________________________ To: STMFC@... Sent: Mon, October 25, 2010

Re: Naperville

Guess that's what the O scalers are using. Ran on Ted Schnepf's O scale layout Sunday morning. Quite a layout! Was a lot of fun. Learn right away you are really an engineer when trying to control

USAX 10,000 gallon ACF Type 27's

Hello All, I am trying to determine what paint and lettering scheme(s) the former USQX 10,000 gallon ACF Type 27 cars (like the Intermountain kit) wore circa 1952-53 after aquiring USAX reporting

Re: Naperville

Clark, Do you think tiny magnets would work? Kind regards, Garth Groff

Re: Naperville

I'll chirp in on this one. Thought it was one of the best N'villes ever! Having evolved passed proto freight car building to proto layout building and operation I saw great clinics by proto-layout

Re: Naperville

Anyone go to the Rosemont hobby show afterwards? I was wondering if there were many model RR vendors there. Back in the old days at Naperville we used to go to the show on Sunday when the MRIA was

Re: Naperville

Tony It was nice seeing you and others there as well. I thought, as well as others I talked to, that the attendance was down significantly from last year. The vendors will pretty much all agree

Re: Wabash ACF 70-ton Gondola was [Wabash large flag lettering scheme]

Chet, Yes, you are correct. I am not sure how I missed the other note, but the other 17 cars are under Note AAA1 in the April 1959 ORER that states they have a different AAR mechanical designation

Re: Wabash ACF 70-ton Gondola was [Wabash large flag lettering scheme]

Bob, The July 1958 ORER shows the same 33 cars having racks for Ford passenger frames (Note DD) and Note HH lists the other 17 cars having Mercury frame racks. Check the 1959 Register to see if the

Re: Warning Labels

I feel your pain, John, but I also infer that this was a new medium for you? An hour spent experimenting with the stuff on scrap styrene and a few junk car or locomotive shells would have been a wise
