Was at York on Friday. Didn't seem as crowded as in the past despite pre-registrations of over 13K persons. Maybe everyone was at the orange/purple (dealer)...

Hello All Has anyone purchased any track from Classic Trains - http://www.classictrains.com? I see from their web page that they sell straight track in 60"...
Y'all...after many years of "scale" model railroading, I'm currently doing On30 (narrow gauge) and S (standard gauge.) The attraction to go S gauge again is...
I have an S gauge GG1 for sale. I do not believe it is an American Model version. It is an epoxy cast type, I believe. It runs well. Pictures posted at the...
What fragmentation of the gauge has given us is confusion. In HO for example, there is essentially one flange size and one coupler size, far as I know. In O...
Would guess the one I picked up to look at on Wed was both. Steel handrails, p/m cast chassis. Jim Lyle [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]...
I suspect the "small screen" would be more effective "promotion" than the "big screen"....and easier to accomplish multiple times. How many of you saw the S...

Dear Mark, The wire colors are really cool. The black is the common, the yellow the light, the red throws the switch towards the siding and the green towards...

I am new to AF. I have a 312 loco from 1946. The stud attaching the tender to the loco does not work and the engine and loco separate when running. I am not...
A couple of weeks ago on the TCA list, there was a discussion on how to work the halls, since there are so many and not enough time. I responded that I learned...

A couple of things I forgot to mention. The auto tag on Neil's bus is Zuma, which is the title of a first LP after the days of CSN&Y. The other thing I saw,...
A few musings about the Gilbert Get Together, which was fantastic. About 150 people there--the largest ever. It necessitated a move to a different building ...
K-Line has cancelled the upcoming Pacific locomotive. The China factory basically doubled the cost of this loco, effectively killing its manufacture at this ...
I am wondering if someone can give me advice re precautions for solvent based paint. I must confess I haven't done much painting thus far in my years in the...
Hello Neal.......you do not need to use solvent base paint. Floquil and others make excellent water soluable hase paints that are much safer to use. Check your...
... Neal, Call me a wimp, but all I use are the water based paints. In whatever I do, I see no advantage to using solvent based paints. ATSF red is still ATSF...
Sorry, but the thing was "dead" all along. It shows how truly low S gauge is in K-Line's priorities. I had a really discouraging chat with Bob Grubba during...
