Scott - I checked several of those sites and the nearest I came was one which had 3mm and another with 5mm. No 3.5mm. But thanks. ..... EdW

Nigel - Thanks for the tip on Word. I have an older version on my wife's computer. I use Open Office, cheapskate that I am about some things. Lloyd. - My old printer is kind of a last resort. But now

Does anyone here have a source of 3.5mm grid paper, 8-1/2 x 11 or larger? Or dot paper the same spacing? Or maybe a software that lets you create custom grids on your computer printer? I did find one

Seems to me that a good engineering design for the turntable structure could accommodate the off center loads of much lighter weigh locomotives of a different gauge. Narrow or standard as the case mig

Over the years I've collected a lot of railroad oriented images of Durango. Let us know if there are any subjects you need info on. One subject there I'll never get to modeling is the Durango Iron Wor

Good advice from Dave. Sherline makes good stuff. Quality is much appropriate to model railroader craftsmanship. I have both their lathe and their milling machine. I also scored a good price on a Came

Roger - Can you be more specific about what you wnat to be able to do with those machine tools? Been my experience over the years that most model railroaders working in the smaller scales have just a

It's an interesting track plan with the entry at one high corner and the mainline of 1-1/2 spirals down to a 15" min radius reversing loop in the middle. Not exactly stamping grounds for "K" series mo

Barry, Mike and Syd, Thanks for responding. I have a lot to do in the next year or so to get ready for a move. Part of that is consolidating the materials I already have for layout building including

Are any of the group members living in the Puget Sound area? I'm planning a move from CA in the next two years and would like to make some contacts. I'm especially interested in knowing if there is an

No K's means lower minumum radius (only in tunnels if you must). And if you can keep 3 locos operating at the same time you're a better electrical engineer than me Gunga Din.... I sure miss Jim Vail..

Find some dead flat rattle can color(s) and weather it a little. You may never get around to building the Campbell kit. This makes an almost unbelievable (at least if you don't look at the windows) ch

I guess today the "force" in me is leaning toward the philosophical. Here's a couple of lines from a posting l just wrote for our local neighborhood internet forum. (the subject had to do with laser c

Looks like a great image for a T-shirt or a sign to put up on your front door. And if the "big Brother" CC&R's don't allow signs like that then on the door to the railroad room. ...EdW

There is something about that particular backdrop image that is so refreshing that I almost want one to just frame and hang on the wall even without a layout below it. EdW

John and Earl, Thank you for the info on refineries. Lots of good starts to search the net.

John - On the general subject of tank cars I have a question about that old refinery that was somewhere on the D&RGW. I've seen only one photo of it showing the railroad siding but no further info. Do

However, if you are of a creative mind with some artistic talent you can create your own fictional prototype and fill it with all kinds of details as you go. The great part about this is that if you k
