Too bad Chrome has been proven to NOT be 100% compatable with all Microsoft software. Click HERE to see for yourself. Almost like trying to run HOn3 trains on HO track... almost. <--- (Required railro

The conclusion to all of this (and a recent, similar discussion being held on one of the S scale groups) seems to be just as I suspected from the start - that the resulting quality of the part(s) bein

Guys, Look on ebay. I am not 100% sure, but I believe Al is now selling through ebay under the name "ecmrnj"... and his store (if it is him) is "ECMR Model Trains and Collectibles".. or at least I thi

It is my understanding that this technology has been around since the late '7s or early '80s. John Degnan Scaler187@... Scaler164@...

Folks, I am issueing this apology to the group as a whole... because my recent comment was NOT meant to go to the group. In fact, it was not even meant to go to THIS group at all. Somehow I managed to

Whether it be brass or plastic, the (royally screwed up) mentality of a LARGE number of the 'big name', widely-publicised modelers in HO that I have dealt with in the past is that once you buy a model

NOTE to manufacturer and everyone who visits this web site : If you go to the KITS page of the Yarmouith site and click on the image of the WABASH model, it is supposed to load a larger photo of the m

Bill and Jerry, The initial posting (if I'm remembering correctly) dealt with the possibilirty of modeling a "welded rail train"... which cannot be done with actual rail due to it's rigidity. There is

Interesting idea. I'll voard this train for some code 83 and code 70 styrene rail in lengths of 3' or longer. Anything shorter defeats the purpose. John Degnan Scaler164@... Scaler187@comcast.

Well, if my understanding is correct, it was the early steam era the last time this event took place... so I also vote to let him slide. John Degnan Scaler164@... Scaler187@...

I second what Rich says... leave the details as is... or add more, just don't remove any. They can be easily removed if not wanted or needed, but not quite so easily added. And by the way... a DOUBLE

Rich, Sounds like a plan... but I hate using up all that air-space on the underside for weight. Oh well... such is the compromise with anything less than 1:1 scale. Let us know how yours turns out. By

Good question. I would also like some suggestions for weighting them. I have the SAL version, so info on appropriate trucks for that prototype would be appreciated. John Degnan Scaler164@...

Glad Ken posted this question as I have been meaning to ask this same thing. I model the year 1957, so I'd like to know which of the schemes being offered by Fox Valley could have still been seen on t

Neat solution to the problem... but it sounds more to me like a poster-child arguement in favor of FINE SCALE or PROTO SCALE wheel sets to me. John Degnan Scaler164@...

I've heard it said that 1/32 scale is the smallest that "museum quality" models can be built. Wonder how true that is? I also wonder how "museum quality" models would look if blown up to 1:1? John Deg

Does anyone have a data sheet (drawing) of these SAL flats you'r be willing to share? John Degnan Scaler164@...

Scratch that... on second thought, make it FIVE! John Degnan Scaler164@...

I'll go for three SAL-specific flats if one is done. John Degnan Scaler164@...

That is one sweet photo... but not of the same one we were originally talking about. My bet raiser was just a larger, higher quality version of the original photo we were referencing. John Degnan Scal
