Great photos!

I came across this video last night...the end has a clinic on airbrushing. http://model-railroad-hobbyist.com/MRHT_BIGE2010 You probably could find some video's on Youtube if you searched.

I agree, really nice models.

The Bachmann sets in N are not worth the money even as cheap as they are IMO. EZ track turnouts are terrible and the engines they make in N are not very good unless they are Spectrum. I started with one and all but the cars are a loss. I literally almost gave up on N scale because of the...

Do you think you can circle the spots you modified? Someone on the trainboard mentioned this, I just have not gotten around to trying it. I am building benchwork right now.

That is the current starter set I would recommend. Kato starter sets are well worth the money. I can't remember which switching siding that is, but hopefully it is the one with the #6 turnouts. The #4 turnouts are the only Kato track product anyone ever complains about. I have #6's and...

I put my state in my name for some reason. Ohio.

I would go with NCE because of the throttle. I have a Zephyr and now need to add another throttle if I want to control more the one train at a time. The reason the the Zephyr throttles is fixed, so if you set a train going to a slow speed then switch to another engine it will jump to that...

Well I definitely encourage you to start somewhere. If I had the space, I would probably do O or S for everything, but I don't so that is why I am in N scale for my hobby modeling. I have a feeling though that I may eventually move up to HO because of my eyesight and fat fingers, I have only...

Kato Unitrack is fantastic and would work for what you want to do. The EZ Command works fine, but I would not worry about DCC at the moment and just get a Kato starter set that has a DC power pack in it. Later on you can add some decoders to an engine or two and pull out the Bachmann. If...

I would try to test different sizes. I know some do not use the fine because even though it is closer to scale, it generally does not look as good because the texture is hard to see.

I find it interesting there is a sky ride in the background, I figured they were all gone.

Edit...never mind, I was wrong.

While I like Joe's writing, his appearances on the Model Railcast show have been a bit ... um ... dry. But if the content is good as far as teaching the technical skills in modeling, that is mostly what I am interested in. I am wavering on the DPB series though, even at $24 a pop, because I...

I just got the first one in the mail and was just looking online to find the "regular price". I hate marketing schemes like that and knew immediately when I could not find the "regular price" any where in the offer, that the price was going to be too high. I liked what I saw, especially...

I enjoyed this thread, very nice work.

Well Obama's 62 cent tax increase on cigarettes goes into effect today, so it was as good a day as any to quit smoking. I feel pretty good about it too. Going cold turkey is not a big deal, just have to find a model to work on now for when I start missing the smokes when I am bored. Can't...

I have a serious case of the Monday's. Weather is nice here in central Ohio...just little chillier than normal but the sun is out.

I just paid $6.17 for a pack. April 1st I believe is when Obama's 60 cent tax gets added in. Now I just overpaid at Kroger, but that is because I refuse to buy another carton and keep saying this is my last pack. I think the average price around here is $5.20. It really sucks to be addicted.

Karl and Jim, if you are serious about quitting, I highly recommend this book. http://www.amazon.com/Easy-Way-Stop-Smoking-Non-Smokers/dp/1402718616 While my success is still not certain since I seem to fall into the "just one more" trap, I used to drive myself (and my wife) nuts in pass...
