    Police Lightbar Work

    I'll continue in this thread since I don't feel like cluttering up the forum with my projects :) During the warm summer months, I've been amiss with keeping up with my Model Railroading hobby. But, with the beautiful weather we've had this year, I'm sure most will understand my choosing to be...

    What am I in for?

    Okay, so you've got the track plan that meets your wants (and budget)?

    What am I in for?

    Reading through the thread, I'm a bit confused. Do you have a layout or are you still planning? (I can't hit youtube.com from work.) I suppose the overall question for your layout is: What do you want to do with it? Drive trains in circles and watch them? Grab a throttle and switch out the...

    Police Lightbar Work

    Completion: 1:24 Model of a Whelen Liberty Lightbar And that's a wrap. Well, almost. I need to bump up the amplification on the headlights and decal the model, but other than that, it is finished! The entire point of the exercise was a proof of concept on an accurate modern emergency vehicle...

    Help!!!!!confused!!!!

    I third(?) this. I agree 100% with Iron on this. Ask around. Be patient. There was a measly 1 hour 48 minutes between "I got a new loco, but it doesn't work" and "Im taking it back to the LHS!". It took me about 10 seconds to google: "how to make an 8 PIN DCC plug". You found the...

    Anyone here sell model trains?

    I think the basics of small business apply to our hobby as well: Simply put, you have to provide the customer a reason to buy from you. Better price, better quality, better customer service, better selection, etc. As the global economy, on the whole, worsens, people are becoming more and more...

    Am I the only one....

    No, there's quite a lot of people who get to about this stage, become happy, and never really move any 'farther' along the stereotypical path towards a 'complete' layout. Perfectly fine in my book. I do honestly think that, eventually, you'll grow a bit tired of just plain plywood and will...

    Holy cow man. I remember helping my cousin install a 128k 'Static RAM' board on a IIe. Curious, but is this a 'just for the hallibut' project or do you have a specific goal?

    Why a local hobby shop is dying

    Stoker, An Affair with Trains has been mentioned on the MRH's podcast several times and, while I've never actually been there, I've heard nothing but good things. AAWT was not in business when I lived in AZ, and the only hobby shop I ever made it to up in the valley was Roy's train world...

    Jeffery, Glad to hear the shindig went down okay! Drama at weddings is just beyond aggravating :) As for your 'apple'... I assume you're talking about an older computer?
