    E24 in Evanston WY at the end of July

    Anyone else planning or already signed up to be there? Barring a final crisis with mom i hope to attend myself, but a crisis is imminent, so it's possible/even probable I won't make it in the end. I signed up anyway, risking $50. nscalemeet.info for any of you who don't know what it is...

    Can STEEL wire be soldered to Nickel Silver rail (or just nickel silver)

    IIRC we have a couple of current or former materials engineers, and maybe a couple of chemical engineers too. If you are out there, I hope you'll know. I want to try soldering (or other) fine steel wire to un-weathered rail. To code 55 or even code 40, and, if possible, directly up tight...

    Cutting edge 3D printing and what you do with it: Luke Towan

    Luke's videos are widely seen on YouTube. He can generally fund his own ideas, and particularly buy his own tools too, so projects like his are not unreachable for him, at least. Perhaps moreso for us, the masses. His latest one: ...is just five days old. Right here he's built what we...

    Rocky Mountain Train Show this weekend in Denver

    https://rockymountaintrainshow.com/Default.aspx I hope to attend both days myself, primarily hanging around the DeNtrak layout https://denvernscale.org/ And, assuming Mark Watson/Nick Husen show up again this year, around the Free-moN layout. http://freemonebraska.org/ I'll be wearing my...

    Is this a bug, or a feature, or something else?

    Member Beiland asked a question or two here https://modelrailroadforums.com/forum/index.php?threads/website-improvement-page-numbers.35600/post-561091 about viewing pages, and it crosses somewhat with my own issue (and maybe yours too). If I come in here, click on HOME, and then on NEW POSTS...

    Hand held hot wire foam cutter

    I'm going to guess a fair number of you are not familiar with the concept of the hot wire cutter, based mostly on the fact that so much stacked foam scenery--which looks all to often like just what it is: stacked foam...could presumably be or must be cut with a handheld kitchen type knife. Not...

    Drawings of the never-built EMD GP50T?

    This is a unit which was requested of EMD by the D&RGW, and though never built, I have the idea it was at least designed and put to paper. Have any of you ever stumbled across these drawings by chance? I have basic GP50 drawings (Mainline Modeler), as well as drawings (in the data book, and...

    So what are you listening to right NOW?

    The only (vague) rule--we can't enforce it anyway--is that if you post a link, you have to listen to at least a few bars of your own song. Or watch a minute or two of your own posted video or song. If only so you can comment on it, if anyone asks you about it, without a "well, I haven't...

    Chain link fencing material

    I think the Woodland Scenic line of HO scale chain link fencing uses a wedding fabric called "tulle" (pronounced "tool") for the actual mesh. You can get it at any decent sized fabric store--Jo Ann's here in the US, etc. There are different mesh sizes, colors and shapes, and you can scan most...
