Will the 3D printer make the final product or a lost wax cast? Macjet

WC: You have numerous reverse curves that simply won't work. I suggest giving this a read: http://www.amazon.com/Track-Planning-Realistic-Operation-Railroader/dp/0890242275 I highly suggest it before you waste any more time and resources. Macjet

This is pretty close. The miles are banked and after a certain threshold is reached X amount of power is delivered to run off time. In most service units (most, NOT ALL) it doesn't matter whose power is in the lead. Here in the Fort Worth SU we routinely ran CSX, BNSF, and NS power on the...

The biggest and best train show in Texas is, well, in Oklahoma City. December 4-5 this year. The Plano show is a pretty decent show as well but every show in Texas pales in comparison to the OKC show. Have no idea why.:confused:

That's it. This forum has turned into just another collection of childish armchair know-it-all's. And people wonder why model railroading has such a bad image. Don't worry about "go somewhere else" replies. I've already put in my request to cancel my access here.

Mellow Mike is a talented modeler whether one likes the man personally or not. He is free to sell his products for whatever he chooses and buyers are free to pay whatever they desire. That is the beauty of a free market system. I'm sure no one here ever paid more then "market value" for...

Right. Graffiti artists/vandals are trolling modelrailroadforums.com for ideas and inspiration.:rolleyes: Perhaps we should quit making toy guns in an effort to prevent future wars.

Spot on! ...

How much does a set of Kadee metal trucks weight? That might do it without major surgery.

Don't forget your higher end units from Tangent. Apparently $43 for a covered hopper isn't enough to cover the cost of some weight.:confused:

Tankist: I believe about $9. The PC ties and rail are something like $2-3. The laser cut ties from FT are $7.14 or $6.43 for 20+. The ties are the majority of the cost. I have tried using different ties and even had a friend with a laser cut a tie sheet to fit the FT turnouts. Every time I've...

There is no modification needed to make FastTracks DCC friendly. Built to spec they are DCC compatible. My frogs were gaped with the smallest jewelers blade possible and are barely wider then a sheet of construction paper. There is no quality comparison between Peco and FT. It's like...

That's what I was thinking.

That is outstanding!

28" wide doors with directions to the gym if you can't fit through.:D

From an insiders point of view too.:(

CSX Robert already answered.

Is the throttle a DT-402D? If it isn't there will no radio capability between the throttle and the UR92. You'd be better of saving $100+ and getting the UP5.

You boys have thicker blood then me. I prefer the air warm and my tea cold.:D

Very true. One exception is that the Rock Island carried grain in their 2970's on light lines for a short time in the 1970's.
