I've been working on my layout for just over a year now. Actual construction of placing roads and buildings has been going on for about 6 months. I've had a hard time finding buildings to suit my layout since I want to do a modern, more urban rail. Since this is my first ever layout, it has been...

Anyone have any experience with these models? http://www.lundestudios.com/nscale.htm They have some good looking models, but I'm unfamiliar with the quality and instructions, etc. Just thought I'd ask before I drop that kind of money for a single building. Thanks.

Probably some weird fetish stuff

I'm familiar with that eBay seller. They don't budge much on that "make an offer" deal. Might knock $10 off if you're lucky.

That's an awesome way to get a handle! Gator do 65, I like it. Best one yet, IMHO

Mine is my last name and my race number for my vintage motorcycles. One of which, is a Hodaka Combat Wombat. Digging a little deeper... I came up with my 203 race number one night while bellied up to a bar with my dad and brother. My dad introduced me as his youngest son. I was quick to point...

It does run, but won't make it through my turnouts without derailing. I'm gonna do a bit more research and try putting it up for sale. Maybe here, maybe eBay. Should be a good deal either way. I might have to go back and buy the other one for $10!

So it was worth the $10 I paid for it? :D

Here are 2 more images.

I was told it was Con Cor/Rivarossi, but there are no markings on it at all. The only marking I can find is Bachmann on the underside of the tender. They look like they go together. Safe to assume the locomotive is Bachmann also? I can't find conclusive evidence online yet.

With the exception of the costs of materials for my benchwork, my entire layout has been paid for by profits of sales from items I've either re-sold or consigned for other people. I started with a small layout and some trains that cost me $140. Kept some of it, sold most of it, then bought more...

I have my train station glued down and about a third of the track ballasted. I'm using Bachmann EZ Track (I know, I know) so I just ballasted halfway(ish) up the built-in roadbed and I think it looks pretty good. Getting the ballast between the track and the station platforms has been tricky...

I agree with NScaler. Stop using IE. I use Firefox at home and Chrome at work. FF is so much better than the other two, IMO.

Does your browser have any kind of search bar that is not for the browser? Something like google, Yahoo, Ask.com, etc? If you are using these addition browser toolbars, there is nothing you can do about it. Otherwise it's just "hot link" that you can usually turn off with customized settings for...

I ballasted some of my track today and I realized, the whole track is on top of a 2" slab of foam. Tear up the track and i might take some foam with it. Whoop-e-do!

Ok, today is the day for sure. Track is in place. Ready to ballast and place some buildings so I can show some progress. I think my wife would like that, too. I think I've watched enough YouTube videos now. It's just, like, my first time, ya know?

I have my benchwork complete, my foam glued down and my track is where is needs to be. I've had the entire day off today to start the juicy stuff like gluing the track down, ballasting, placing buildings, etc, but just can't seem to pull the trigger. Hopefully someone else out there can relate...

Mind... Blown. I learned more about trains in the last 15 minutes than I did in the last 6 months!

Peter, those look exactly like the ones I have. Looks like a great deal there, too! I made a tool like the Glue Looper in high school and worked on a couple different designs to get it to work better. The problem I had was that the glue was drying on the tip and it became a jumbled mess. My...

I use Testors Cement for Plastic Models (the red tube) and I keep the cap on. When not in use, I put a small plastic bag over the tip and hold it on with a rubber band. The bag is just one I got in the box for one of my Kato buildings. The glue in the tip will eventually harden, but it won't...
