The GnATTERbox

i'm taking this as a "no"

anyone modeling On30 gauge. I have (3) nickel silver turnouts (in their packages), code 83 rail, built by B.K. Enterprises for sale if you are interested. turnouts are #2 1/2 wye, #4 left, & #6 left. here is the BK website: http://www.troutcreekeng.co/bk-turnouts-o/ I would like to realize $45.0...

I didn't know there would be hermitage!

Micro Engineering On30 turnouts (2). code 83 rail, #5 turnouts - (1) left & (1) right hand. never used/ out of package.

these are coming from the US, so postage may be a bit depending where you are located. [ retail price is $27.45 x 2 = $55.00 ]

maybe you could share it with the rest of us? we always try to help you in your questions.

the owner, Gerard, has been very communicative and pro-active addressing my conundrum. he has contacted a company which will set him up to accept several types of credit cards. I think for a one man business, half a world away, he is going well above and beyond what we have come to expect as "c...

does anyone have experience with the line of Proxxon foam table hot wire cutting accessories made by Shiftinglands? I am specifically looking for a distributor who will accept VISA directly (not paypal). thanks

it's certainly a beautiful engine. reminds me of a combination wedding cake and castle, but i'm darned to figure why!

great update; thank you

nice job. great vignette.

the larger wheels do look nice and I like the holes for detail. thanks

thanks for the additional information & encouragement. I loosened the purse and ordered a mock nwsl press from micro-mark. when it arrives will be the time to get all my jigs straight, and I am hoping, make short work of it.

thank you; yes it does give me a, two really, directions to go. just need to summon my courage!

Q; I have (3) Slater's V-skips #32W01 that I would like to run on 0n30 track. i would like to slide the wheels in on the original axles about .100" (.733" vs .637" by my measurements so I assume there's a bit of a margin for error . . .) with each wheel going half that distant so the ...

yup; it's moving closer to the top of the list . . .

therein could lie the problem . . .

very nice job joining the buildings. following along.

I think the Gn15 movement was founded on the pretext everything would be sourced from a variety of places and then, basically, scratchbuilt. why not continue the tradition? draw inspiration from any & everywhere, but do your own thing.

I have to agree with #2.

nice find. lots of good ideas & inspiration. some of the best model railroad layouts I have seen actually minimize the railroad to realistic emphasis and create a small world.

I think it worked better before. a substantial number of links don't work - probably so old the linksters gave up their websites.

maybe just needs the bugs worked out. i respect the fellow for taking charge and making it linger on a bit longer. time will tell.

go as large as you can for reliability and tight as you can for novelty. but novelty is a short lived victory, and if your railroad won't operate you'll lose interest and never finish it. so, 24" / 2 (assuming your intent is continuous running roundy-round) = 12" radius. that leaves you ha...
