I agree with Tony's comments. Joe and crew did a great job. Highlights for me: 1.) Tracking down Charlie Slater for help with a resin kit he did the masters for. 2.) Discussing the Indiana Harbor

I don't fully agree Elden. I'd say there are people who will pay almost any price for "weathered" equipment regardless of its accuracy either with respect to the model, or with respect to the

STMFC Discussion Group, The RP CYC Publishing Company is pleased to announce the imminent release of RAILWAY PROTOTYPE CYCLOPEDIA, Volume 21, scheduled for distribution in early November 2010. Volume

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

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

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

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

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

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

I have apparently lost my friend Jim Singer's contact info. If someone can help me out, please contact offline. Thank you! Bill Welch 2225 Nursery Road; #20-104 Clearwater, FL

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Hopefully we might attend next year. Glad to hear the good news. Mark Morgan Sent on the Sprint® Now Network from my BlackBerry®

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

I thought this year's Naperville meet was quite good, very much in the tradition of the previous ones conducted by Sunshine (and yes, Sunshine was there selling kits to the usual enthusiastic
