The Kid has a newer release Atlas U25B w/Lenz decoder. It quit running, but the lights still power on. From what I've read, it sounds like the decoder isn't making contact to the motor. So the question is, how do I remove the shell on this little loco? (Darn N scale stuff is too small for my...

What do y'all do first? Ballast, or ground cover? I'm building a photo set/diorama/display board, and I'm at the point where I need do to ballast and ground cover. Rotor

I am trying to get my head around weathering. All my life, I have been around cars and racing. I've always tried to make stuff pretty and shiny. Dirty, nasty and rusty weren't an option! Lately, I've decided my trains were too pretty. So I've been trying my hand at some light weathering...

I found a station today that I had no idea was there! I took my wife to Emory University Hospital for some tests today, and decided to try to miss rush hour traffic on the way home. To my surprise, I turned the corner, and there was a train station! It's the Emory University Station, built in...
