Jim,
I agree. My question was aimed at the technical issue. I've always thought
the NMRA Recommended Practices were aimed at the technical minimum, but my HO
experience is different than the RP suggestion. With a 14' wide room and
wanting to leave about a foot behind the track for scenery,
All,
I have received production stock for 2 of my projects in past week or so. I
have the brass grab irons and PRR F33 flat car bodies here. Starting
tomorrow I am shipping prepaid orders for them.
While the current on hand stock is pretty much sold, I am giving a last
call NOW for new
Rhett, I would be interested in knowing more about your S scale City of New
Orleans and Panama Limited.
I have a pair of AM's IC E8s pulling a number of the full length AM IC
passenger cars. They look gorgeous, but the train is a hybrid between the
all-Pullman Panama Limited and other IC
Rhett,
Our, (Danny and myself), experience is that 45 minimum mainline radius with
42 for passing siding is a good compromise. Allow about a physical 1/2 for on
each side of the curve for the easement using the bent stick method as
described by Dick Karnes and you will have few problems except
We've a bit of a cold spell here, but it did warm up enough to mix a
small batch of paint and do a bit of airbrushing. That went fairly
well, I think.
Problem that I'm having is simple matter of housekeeping, economics and
perhaps health. I've always had a devil of a time managing that

You might try a product called Extend-It. I use it to keep my resin from
going bad. I have never tried it for paint, but it should work. I think it is
nitrogen in a spray can. Just a couple of puffs in the paint jar and put the
lid on. I get extend-ti from Eager Polymers in

Is Laser Horizons still operating? At the convention this summer I heard
someone say that Dennis Sautters had ceased producing car sides, but maybe I am
confused.

Are you referring to brass grabons to replace the brittle version of the PRS
box cars? If that is the case, I am interested but forgot the price.

George,
I have S-Helper 30 30 degree radius sectional track for my outside loop and my
American Models heavywieghts still have a little overhange. Anything above that
would look more prototypical if you have room which I don't have. Inside loop
Alan,
You hit the nail on the head when you refer to room and indirectly to
desire. I don't think there is one correct approach to model railroading. But
others, like I, do have their desires. I'm not a broad curve person, but I
enjoy seeing them on others layouts. Modeling the
Bob,
For years I have kept a large glass jar, with a tight fitting lid, 2/3 full
with a 50% mix of ammonia and household cleaner, such as Lysol, to clean my
paint bottles. When I empty a bottle, I drop it and the lid into the mix: no
need to wipe any paint off. When the jar is full or I need
