Gotta agree with Rich. Mud actually cakes on in the lower surfaces, this looks more like rust all over the loco.

RE: postage to UK. Try placing your items in the shopping cart and then request a combined shipping total from them. The combined total is often less than the amount to ship 1 item, at least it has be

RE: ...."never mind"... On the contrary, your post was most informational. I order frequently from them on eBay (I like to tinker with old HOn3 brass models and fix/improve them) and didn't know about

A #305 Delrin idler gear and a 1312-6 worm should do the trick, as far as quieting the gear noise goes.

Here's a photo of the CC's coaches that shows the most roof I've been able to find. While not very clear, seems to me a sheet metal roof would show a definite pattern of rivets throughout the roof.

Go on ebay and buy surgical tubing. Usually available in 1' lengths.

Keep searching eBay and save the search to set up email notifications when one comes up. There was one there just a few weeks ago but it is gone now.

I started using KaDee couplers in 1977 and have never used any means of adhesion, chemical or heat, and have never had any trouble. That is what the screw is for. I have used CA in the screw hole a fe

Here is a brochure I got from BSI Super Glues years ago. Should fill in all your gaps.

Spectacular!

Thanks for the replies. Looks like nothing is available these days so it will have to be scratch building if I want to make one. Would be interesting to make a diorama with the AT&SF depot alongside t

Does anyone know if the old adobe AT&SF Depot in Santa Fe was ever offered as an HO kit?

I was speaking over the phone with Bill of BANTA Modelworks today regarding one of his HOn3 models I'm currently building. The discussion eventually wandered over to the possibility of his producing a

Despite all the obstacles put in front of USPS, I haven't had any problems with them at all, even when one takes into consideration their goofy shipping routes. I normally get 3 - 7 packages in the ma

Must be the "squeaky wheel" syndrome. Just got my Jan/Feb Gazette today, on Feb 20th!

Thanks for all the replies. Sounds like there's a problem over at White River. It shouldn't take a month to mail out a small circulation issue. Will call them on Monday.

We're about to enter the last week of February and I still haven't received my copy of the Gazette for Jan/Feb. Is it just me or hasn't it been mailed yet?

Thanks for the information. The problem was never installing the #714 coupler but, rather, the clearance for the rear tender truck. With the 714 installed the truck would barely rotate until it bound.

Has anyone had experience trying to install couplers on the tender of a PSC C-19? I recently acquired RGS #'s 40 and 41 in new condition. The rear deck of the tender is pre-drilled for a coupler but t

I'd use 5 minute epoxy. It gives you a few minutes working time for adjustments and when cured the bond can't be broken.
