Here's what I do to navigate fandckits.com from firefox 1) click on ho scale, so far so good 2) click on freight cars, no problem 3) move to the right to get in the right hand frame, right click

Al, I think I remember reading something about limitations in train length due to air brake performance. Not sure where I read it, but I thought the PRR, prior to WWII, had train length limits for K

I just picked up a pair of these at the Train Station in Columbus, Ohio. I am in a hotel with no tools, magnification or resource books to compare prototype detail. Here's a just-out-of-the-box look

Bill, Just spray any decal at hand with several coats of paint, letting the paint dry between coats. The new water borne acrylics might be the best choice, for flexibility. What'cha goin' ta do

You're probably right about the hardware store variety of tape. But foils come in different hardnesses too. I have some nice 'soft' copper and aluminum foils (not adhesive backed) that I bought for

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

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.

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

This does not include the Macintosh OSX version of IE (5.2.3). And now that this horse is dead, let's get back to STMFC! Brian Ehni

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
