    Where are all the GOOD figures???

    The strangest part of this is that the larger the scale, the worse the figures seem to be. Some of the G scale figures I have come across while searching look more like Mr. Bill then an actual human being. Dana

    Where are all the GOOD figures???

    That is pretty much what I was thinking, but it is tragic nonetheless. As a scale model builder as well as a model railroader I try to put as much detail into my layout, engines, etc, that I would in any fine scale diorama I am building. Afterall, a model railroad layout is just a gigantic...

    Where are all the GOOD figures???

    For years I did a lot of scale modeling, mostly historical military aircraft and armor, and was always amazed at the quality of the resin figures associated with that hobby. Now that I have returned to the scale train hobby after many years I am shocked at the poor quality of the figures that...

    My On30 Shay... partial scratch built.

    After having acquired a TSU-1000 (light logging) sound decoder in a trade I decided to install it in my On30 Bachmann Shay.

    Using real sticks as scale logs?

    How about posting some pics of the scale logs you made with a description of the species of tree used to make them? That could not only be helpful for me but for others as well! Dana

    Using real sticks as scale logs?

    I am busy building an On30 logging layout and while researching other peoples work I have noticed a great deal of them using what look to be real sticks as scale logs. They look really good since the bark looks scale but I'm curious what species of tree is being used? Thoughts? Dana

    Greetings from Oregon...

    My name is Dana, and like many people nowadays, I am getting back into a hobby that I left many years ago. When I was in my early teens I was into N scale but was never happy with the lack of early steam engines and cars available. I'm not really a fan of modern diesels and just couldn't set...
