and do they look good when applied? I'm thinking particularly of the lining
transfers.
Thanks,

Did Fred Becker used to own Front Range?

I've just come into possession of an old Bowser Challenger.  All my previous
modeling experience has been with styrene and balsa models.  This monster is
made out of some kind of heavy, soft metal, maybe lead, and whoever worked

I've seen a lot of references to this stuff - where can you buy it from and
how much does it cost?

Folks,
I've only had the live steam set for a few days but have already ran into
problems and found their solutions. This is a superb set but complicated and

I'm building a small 2-rail O scale switching module following a design on
Carl Arendt's site ( www.carendt.com ) and scenicing it using ideas from
Nick Palette's HO module in the May '99 Model Railroader.  I've shortened a
Lionel #318 through truss running across the module to ...

Can someone please tell me what consists this engine would most likely
have pulled. Also, what other railroad(s) would this N&W engine have
potentially done busines with at an interchange?
Thanks So Much!

Any suggestions on removing 20 year old superglue from white metal? I've
unearthed a poorly assembled kit from my youth which I would like to
reassemble by soldering. Though most of the parts are already dismantled,
there's copious superglue which will have to come off before any ...

I've been unable to contact Jarmac for a replacement motor.  Does
anyone know who might stock a replacement?
Thanks
