Hi again all
Just wondering why there is such a difference in value of say a Wrenn 8F and
a Dublo of the same variety - are the Wrenn that much better than their
Dublo ancestors?

Remember how expensive those little buggers are? I just got a catalog
from a place that has them for US$1.50/ea, cheaper in quantity:
each:    $1.50
10-pack   7.95

I never thought I'd see something like this...
I have just logged into RailPage and there is a PM waiting which is
telling me I now have a 'warning level' of 5 percent for starting another
thread on an already-locked topic (the screw-coupler thread). Come on guys

Jesus is alive and living on Hornsey Road London N7. He is at no 287 -
opposite the new chicken shop. He doesn't seem all that friendly to me
...don't know where everyone got the idea that he was all peace and

Any ideas folks?

We have started a small railway modeling group in Tumut (still looking
for a home) construction of the first 3 exhibition boards are complete
now to add track and scenery.
I am concerned about insurance and seeking advise on the problem any

Can anyone suggest how I might solve this problem with the press-fix decals
in a Slater's kit I'm building. The b*gg*rs just don't want to stick to my
painted wagon with "firm finger pressure" as the instructions say they
should. Anyone got any tips for getting these things to work? ...

I am building a layout to run my LNER stock on.
It will have up and down main lines, a branch line and various sidings
Would the ballest have been the same as it is today, or would it have varied
in diffrerent locations depending on what the local quarry would have

What is the concensess on the best paint for airbrush use on brass
locos?

I built a layout back in the 70s, and used Atlas custom-line nickel silver
remote turnouts.  These have insulated auto switching powered frogs, and the
cool remotes that automatically turnoff power when they have reached their
end of travel, so I was able to use simple slide ...

Very quickly - what size driving wheels should the above have in 4mm
scale? I'm fairly sure they were 5'8" diameter on the real thing, so
does 23mm dia. sound about right for a 00 model?
Thanks in advance,

Shameless plug:
On the EMRC web site there is a new page - a forsale page.
I have a lovo there for sale, if you are interested in a PSM "R" that

G'Day All,
My friend recently told me about a site he came across that was offering G
Scale rail in 12' lengths. It was and Aussie site for a Model Railway club,
but he couldn't remember which one it was. I was wondering if anyone who
