    Athearn HO Scale RTR Grinding Gears ProblemSo So I got an Athearn

    The frame may be identical, but the entire shell is new and shares no past with the RPP other than model designation. Donnell

    A pair of naked ladies!

    Hi Dan, Great job on the progress of these units! I was wondering how they turned out, but shaving been banned from the DDF, I wasn't able to follow. Anyhow, great job, and I look forward to seeing them in Cascade green at some future point! Donnell

    How to Make Trees and Shrubs

    Poly-fil Hi Jos, As with other, I have been following your series on building trees and must say theat theses, by far, are the best, most realistic looking trees I have ever seen! That said, I have gathered materials to build a test tree, but the only fibers I could find similar to what...

    Benchwork Lumber?

    "Oak"-kay, I can accept that. (I had to throw that weak joke in because we're talking about wood...:D ) Anyhow, to provide some reasoning behind my statement, when we bought our house, we had the opportunity to see it built from the ground up, and from what I saw the wood studs were not all...

    Got my first airbrush kit

    Got my first airbrush kit

    The airbrush you got from HF is almost an exact copy of the Badger 155/360 airbrush, which is a very good brush. I'm not sure if the parts are interchangeable, but if they are, this could come in handy if replacement parts are necessary. It was made for painting with acrylics, but I...

    Cannon and Company nose conversion...

    Fred is right about going with the "whole" package (nose, cab, and sub-base), though I have removed the Athearn 81" nose successfully to be replaced with the Cannon 88" nose. Here's what I do: 1. Make one main cut about 1/8" above, but parallel to the molded on sub-base using a Zona...
