    OldNew Starting an HO Layout

    I think you meant to say that to rvnmedic6869 as I haven't served in the Armed Forces.

    This is a link to another forum I found. It looks like they used Caterpillar engines. Hope this helps, Luke

    Good morning everyone. The school has been shut down for the first time until January 19. We are going to be "all remote." I never thought I would say this but, I hate not being in school. Ken- Thanks a lot! Now I have another GP18 I have to model. I am trying to model the engines (mostly...

    Hello everyone, it has been a while, which means lots of catching up to do. My finger is still slowing me down, although it is healing now. I would post a picture of it, but I don't want anyone to spill their coffee. Wille- Hope you had a happy birthday! I also have that Plasticville tower...

    Ulrich-- Gondola Build

    Your gondola is coming along very nicely. I can't wait to see it completed. Also, You have probably said somewhere, but what CA do you use? I think you need to stop watching Saving Private Ryan, it is starting to have an effect on your vocabulary😛.

    Make your own crushed ballast

    I already have... the MoPac ballast is a lot harder than the CNW is. This was taken from the UP main at Union Illinois by the Illinois Railway Museum.

    Details West PL-160 pilot/plow attachment

    I usually use regular old Testors glue. I think one of the two would be the best option for gluing metal to plastic.

    HO scale Camera?

    KBO2-I decided not to get one of the key fob cameras because it was an awkward size and shape. Terry- I have three iPhone 4s I have acquired, but they were too wide to fit on some parts of my layout. When I get one, I will say which one I got and how much I like it.

    Make your own crushed ballast

    Off hand, what size I'm I looking for?....... Jerry-do you have any woodland scenics ballast? If you do find a strainer that lets those pieces through. You could use a window screen. If you have something with a screen, you could upload a picture, and I can see if it would work. That is some...

    Chet-Louie is just sad he doesn't get any of the good smelling things inside of the eggs. You have a very nice layout. How did you make your trees?

    Make your own crushed ballast

    Sherrel- I usually run some water after I am done to clear the pieces out. They aren't that big anyway. I also should have mentioned screening the rocks with a magnet to get any magnetic pieces of rock out. You definitely need to do this if you have sound engines with speakers in the fuel tank...

    Luke - enjoyed reading your tutorial on rock-crushing, I did something similar for one of my industrial lots. It's kind of a challenge finding a fixative that doesn't leave the stones looking wet even after it dries. Ken- I have found that Woodland scenics scenic cement works very well. It...
