Description: Model railroads of all scales.
 

Playing With Trains by Sam Posey 
  Has anyone else read this book? I just finished it and was somewhat disappointed with the latter part of it. It seemed to me that he interviewed the Usual Suspects and left a lot uncovered. He never really "interviewed" his friend Rolf, for example.

Meet "Frank". (Contains Actual Model Railroad Content!!) 
  Short for "Frank N. Steam". Found an unused Balboa S.P. MK-5 chassis on eBay and bid low figuring to use it for parts if/when mine broke down. Got it, and it sat untouched in a box for two years. Then about six months ago I found an old Westside S.P. Whaleback tender at a swap meet; exactly the sort that frequently showed up... more »

Affixing track and switches to foam roadbed 
  It seems like a basic question, but I haven't laid track (N gauge) in a number of years, and haven't done so before on Woodland's foam roadbed. Virtually all of the trackwork is tangent, with a great many switches in this first module. All soldering to track joints has been done as well as track feeds, and switch machines are in place and tested, so I had in mind... more »

N scale Con-Cor question 
  Hi All, I recently bought a second hand Con-Cor / Rivarossi 2-8-8-2 Mallet. Got it at a model railway exhibition for a pretty good price and I'm very happy with it, but I want to give it a lube. How does the body come off? From what I can see, I have to pull the tender apart, disconnect the wiring... more »

Need Small Parts? 
  Here's a good way to make your own. If you have a metal item that is broken, you can glue it with SuperGlue(tm) which is strong enough to make a mold. See here: [link] I've used a similar technique to make plastic castings but this is a terrific method.... more »

A Very Small 140 pound Modeling Opportunity... 
  My wife likes to wander through antique stores on weekend mornings, and I usually go with her because you just never know what you'll find. (In several instances I've found brass locos and other model railroading paraphernalia for sale cheap.) So this morning we walked into a place just down the street from our home and discovered that... more »
