The new Groups layout

It looks like the new layout is finally in work. To start off I had to authourize 39 photo's in the moderation section. Some of these look very old but I ask you check out the photo albums and see if some of yours has been deleted or is missing from ...

Old Trains

Hi guys, I got out some of my HO stuff last week & put some track together to run some of my old stock. What does the group suggest as far as maintenance of old engines before I put a spark to them. Most have been set up for 15 to 20 years & I'd hate...

I thought I would create this thread for members who are looking for hard to find things. I am looking for an N Scale walk over foot bridge. I have been to every place that I can think of to find one. I wonder if they even make them. Any help would b...

Just a fun question

Since my questions seem to be answered with such rapidity due to the immense knowledge of this group, I'm just going to ask this one for fun, not profit. Does anyone know what type of railroad equipment a MacArthur is and what railroad was first to u...

How to post a picture within a topic.

Finally figured it out. A while ago CJ gave me a site to host images anywhere. It works here. I guess you have to use an outside image hosting service now in the groups. I used www.imageshack.us/ for the below picture. Once registered, you browse you...
