    HOYARDSALES a Joke!!!!

    The problem with your #1 post is that it was N scale. That's why it's called HO-YARD-SALES. I had a reason to email the moderator the other day and his response was fast and accurate. I have had no problems with the site. Now Hoswap is another question. I have had a problem with every purchase...

    HO an N mixer

    HO and N Sorry about not getting back, but we took off for a few days. But back to trains. I'm lucky enough to live in an area that still has one mill still working and I have friends in high places within Collins mill. One had pictures of some of the early workings of the Collins history and...

    HO an N mixer

    HO and N Thanks for the input. I had started with the N scale and I bought the HO for my dad. When he died it all came back to me and when I started planning this layout, I don't know why but I just started going HO with the thought of going back to the N on a small scale but the floor space...

    HO an N mixer

    I'm still in the planing process of a multi-deck layout. The two lower levels will be a mix of one and two levels, and will be HO. The upper level I was thinking of going with N and with the theme of logging. One idea I've had was to have a plume with the logs entering in on the N level and then...

I met several hobo's and I climbed on just about...

    Is it really worth it to save a minute! Stupid driver

    If they can afford this then the cameras would be cheaper and pay for them selves and as far as proving you didn't do it by the photo all you would have to do would be to show your drivers license. I got caught in Frisco by a red light camera and when the picture came with the ticket, yep it...

    close calls Several years ago I lived in Pine Bluff Ark. They had so many people doing this that they put up cameras to catch and fine the drivers. They should do that ever where.

    brick red thanks Trey yes when I get to go to Walmart I have several of the apple barrel colors but nothing in the reds. It seams that my wood working business hasn't taken me to need those colors but they are on my list. I like the idea of spraying the gray first. I want to go towards the...

I went to every store in town this morning looking at every red they all had and it was fire engine red or Ford tractor red and that's it.

    Brick red paint
