That’s got it. Let’s try this again.. stuck inside. Working this puzzle. Also working this 4 roses single barrel.

Not sure why it keeps showing up upside down. It’s correct on my phone. I blame the Rona.

What’s up train gang. Got this in the mail the other day. Starting it tonight. Hope everyone is staying in and safe. Cheers!

If you like Math Science and calculations you could get your engine up to a good speed and time how long it takes to travel 1 foot. Then run your train with a timer. Kind of like figuring MPH but I guess it would be FOT(feet of track). But string will probable work better. Less fun, but more...

I read this whole post. All I retained was “lava lamp”. :p

Makes sense. I always find it odd how some states do that. Like it’s a law that was written ages ago for some reason that’s not even a concern anymore. Changing policy is like stopping an aircraft carrier, or more apropos, stopping a mile long freight train; takes forever.

I won’t be entering but I found this curious... Contest is open to residents of the U.S. excluding Colorado, Maryland and North Dakota. I wonder what those states did to Walthers to piss them off?

They’d have a much easier time if they used caulking to hold the track down.

I love this switcher!! Always like when it gets posted

I am waiting with baited breath.

Ha! That’s exactly what we just all talked about!! :D

Patrick: please share a pic of the chess board once you finish it. I’ve toyed with making one myself.

I think Jack May be, how do you say... “taking the piss”

Must have been the accent?

Greg/Flip: agree whole heartedly with that sentiment. “If you don’t have time to do it right the first time, how will you have time to do it again?” As the NEC code book says(I’m an electrician) “...neat and workman like manner” pertaining to any work being done weather exposed or not.

I’ll take a stab at it... Less people polled means greater margins of error. let’s say there are 1 million MRRs in the world. You’ve polled about 30. That is a fraction of a fraction; making the poll pretty isolated. But, you are basically polling the more active members of this one site...

Haha, well put.

How on earth?? Does not compute.

You’ve touched on a few of my concerns. As far as the track they still make 70. I believe n scale 70 is to HO scale 100 and 55 is to 83. I do plan on installing all 55 as I’m going for a more prototypical look. As far as the engines are concerned I know they will need a ton of work. I wasn’t...

A well thought out and informative answer that’s bursting with info...:rolleyes:
