    Has anyone experienced shipping delays with Fedex smart post?

    I left the seller on ebay the day after I ordered it. It was handed to fedex the next day and is stuck here in good ol Calif while it's DC motor gets demagnetized from all the scanning. The item came from Georgia. I don't fault the seller or the Fedex service or USPS . I do fault Fedex support...

So far what I get on Amazon usually comes in an amazon truck or Fedex and some times...

    Has anyone experienced shipping delays with Fedex smart post?

It's in Chino,CA and it says Fedex smart post so I assume this is where the post office picks it up to deliver. Chino is about 30 miles from me yet you can't...

    What was your first brass engine/rolling stock?

    I never owned any brass loco's or rolling stock. I bought a brass trolley for my father in the 60's since he had one and this one was part of the set. He bought a PFM 2-6-6-2 it had sprung drivers he got it used along with some trade in's. Nice steamer one of my favorite.

    Brought up my old spray booth in another post "Am I foolish"

    Saw this make your own booth . Mainly it's the fan and blower. https://vent-works.com/. My fan is a higher RPM and the squirrel cage is 1/2" smaller OD and the same depth. They made a way to mount the fan flush I had to find my own solution to adapt a square to round outlet for the exhaust fan...

    Brought up my old spray booth in another post "Am I foolish"

    I need to try to keep posts in their proper places. When I post my mind just tosses it all in one place. Here are a few photo's . I just reinforced it a bit and made a shelf for it and connected the fan outlet to the outside vent I put in decades ago. I got this plastic spray booth in the early...

    Am I foolish?

    I built this RS3 hammer head quite a while ago. Used a Stewart RS3 old one with the Athearn drive. I have another Stewart RS3 shell yet I used part of the short hood to build the hammer head. I want to do another RS3/EMD rebuild like KMT used. I think I can repair the shell I cut the short hood...

    Am I foolish?

    I had my layout stored in my garage up until the early 90's leaning against the wall. At some point I decided to remove all the track , switches and road bed and sell it and used the wood for other projects. I built it in sections so I could bolt them together . Track and switches even rolling...

    Question , I had three of the Stewart VO-1000's.

    I never saw the Athearn /Varney chassis yet I was familiar with both Athearn and Varney. I did have a Cary metal shell for a FM H10-44 it used an Athearn SW7/S-12 frame the frame was not long enough if you just shoved the shell on so I cut the frame before the tank to move it for the proper...

    Question , I had three of the Stewart VO-1000's.

    Just picked up a Stewart Baldwin DS 4-4-1000 new never opened for just under $60 shipped. Won't be here for about a week. I had a choice of a VO-1000 and S-12 yet the DS 4-4-1000 just seemed like a better choice for me. Some were new some were used yet never assembled. I liked the design of the...
