    COLD Soldering????

    Has anyone ever used COLD Soldering? If so, how effective is it? How does it work? Any problems I should be on the lookout for? At a recent RxR Club fundraiser I won a gift certificate for one. But have yet to cash it in.

    n Randy, Sorry for the delay in responding. I had to check with my cousin, who is still on the line. My Uncle John throttled the #5270 Steamer for most of his NYC career. Though he started, as a fireman, in 1915, before the #5270 was commissioned. He hit the line with the #5270 in the early...

    Hey Fellow Railers, My Grandfather and Father introduced me to O Gauge in 1950. I've rolled G, S, O, HO (00), N, & Z gauges. Even when my Great-Uncle retired from the NYC, on his final yard call, he let me take the throttle. My life is on THE LINE. And I'll SEE YA' DOWN THE LINE. Jim

    My new layout

    Nice Prototype. Keep us up to date. As for the rivet counters, I have had to deal with such Trolls for decades, just tell them, "Go Screw."
