    Milk-it does the railroad good! HOmogenized!

    I have a question about the milking industry dating in about the 1950's. Milk and mail will be the main supporters of my freelanced railroad. I'm not quite sure what all supporting buisness are needed to make it all possible. I currently have rolling stock and a few structures such as milk...

    It looks to me like the far end has a much larger overhang and then narrows as it gets closer but its hard to tell for sure.

    DC Loco issue

    This is the first time I have ever had this happen, I have a Atlas sw1500 switcher that runs great and a lifelike docside that runs great. Here's the problem-when they are both on the same track there is a voltage drop and they run in opposite directions. I cant figure this out.

    track cleaning question

    Now why is it, we have to remember to leave the seat down? Maybe there should be a new rule where the ladies need to leave the seat up.

    Scratch build chain link fence

    Goto wal mart in the fabrics, they have several colors and it was .98 cents a yard. Enough material to fence in the entire layout, even if its huge. I bought a 1ft. by 3ft. piece for .24 cents. Thats the smallest they would sell me. You can use wire for your posts, over in the hardware dept.

    Scratch Building...homemade

    When you get some, buy at least one no trespassing and and one for sale, then scan them and then shrink them down to the size you want and make them into thumbnails and you can print off as many signs as you like. You may not have anything for sale, but surely some homeowner on your layout does...

    HO Layout to fit in a roughly 8x11' space

    Being a builder I'll throw in my two cents: First how is your garage framed is it trusses, or stick framed, and can the joist handle the additional load. And as far as framework I would recommend a heavier frame versus sheeting, it's the torsional load you need to watch. You can overcome the...

    Is this right....

    E-bay is a sellers market for sure. I sell used parts on there and I've got 132 auction ending at the moment, and people are willing to pay more for a used part than they would with a new one. Oh well, puts more money in my pocket for buying rr items.
