That's a good looking structure. Fine job on the weathering!

Ralph, Thanks for the detailed information on my turnout inquiry. I will surely visit the link you posted and evaluate where to go from there. My fear is I lay rail and find I have electrical issues. I have no desire to rip up rail once it is in place. I would love to hand lay track; however, I don'...

Hi all! I started laying track on my layout, the Penn Central Railroad Industrial Division. I am using what is advertised as Walthers "DCC Friendly" turnouts. I do not have the DCC system installed yet. I have no way of determining just how DCC friendly these turnouts are...just put them i...

Randy,

Sorry to hear about the mower issue. You need to cut out the middle man...the mower. Just dump the gas straight onto the lawn. You won't need to cut it for a long time!!

I'm with Jamie on the gibberish graffiti. I don't get it. I will admit it is colorful and more exciting than the simple graffiti of the 70s. I'm also tracking on sitting around waiting for trains to go by. I do understand snapping photos. Great for the weathering techniques. The beauty for the railf...

Frank, Welcome! Another guy from the northeast. I currently live and will die in Hope Mills,NC; however, I did spend the first 17 years of my life in Syracuse, NY. I model in HO and you'd never guess the road of choice, so don't waste time trying. The reason I'll die here is because the model railro...

I like it!! I'd have never known it was a Candy-creation if I didn't read this thread. Built in so well it must have been in the original blueprint!

For what it is worth, I have an Excel spreadsheet where I logged everything railroad-related I purchased. I spent 29 years serving in the USAF and moved many times. An inventory is a good thing to have should items go missing. Every time I moved I knew which box each item was in. Did you ever wonder...

I, too, have 3 rescues. Two Labs (Black and Chocolate) and a Hound

All males and they are my new kids. The old ones (3 boys) need to keep out!!
