Nooooo, not a yellow polka dot bikini.... drill bits. I just cracked open the box for an HOn3 boxcar and the instructions are calling for #'s 51, 65, 77, 78, 79 and 80. Any advice on where I can go to finding them? Jewelry store? Rock shop? Arts and crafts store? I got the big "I dunno" shrug from the three tool stores I went to today.

Tell us how big your train room is... Im curious to see what most of us have in the way of train room sizes

**EDIT** I forgot to mention, tell us what you vote for

I know that this is a common practice, but I am wondering if anyone has tried it with grape stems? No, not the vines, but the stems where the grapes are.
How about spirea? I have several spirea in my yard, and I was looking at their winter husks and thinking that they might make for some great trees.
Also, I was thinking that a few spots of a color similar to the foliage sprayed onto the "branches" would help make for a fuller looking tree. Has anyone ever tried this? I would love to see the results.
I might try it tomorrow with some spirea. If I do, you can count on seeing some examples, good or bad, in this thread. (I would do it today, but my wife didn't go to work today and I don't want her to see me hacking up our landscaping)

is this weekend, January 10 & 11. I've never been to one of these events. Are they worth going to? The Cal Expo website says parking is $10.00 but doesn't show what admission is. Anybody know?

Thanks, Doc

Email notification received this morning, the "old neighborhood" is still having "problems". I tried posting there yesterday, and couldn't get my reply to "go through". The place is a mess! I am so happy we got out when we did.

This sounds like a great trip...!

HI,
Not sure this is the correct place to post this question. Please advise and or move. :?
I received a 3D railroad Concept and Design program for Xmas. I use a Vista system and this softward does not state that is will run on Vista.
I have tried to get in touch with the maker ( Abracadata) and can't seem to be able to contact them. Phone# does not work. The <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://WWW.abacadata.com">http://WWW.abacadata.com</a><!-- m --> address gets me no where?
Anyone out there using this program?
I found some old ads, on this product and the maker stated that there are free upgrades that you can down load from the web.
I have not opened the box in fear that I can't get support.
Help if you can.
Thanks in advance.

What's a good adhesive for Hydrocal castings?

While I don't think I am klutz, would it make sense to hire a company or someone to install Dcc decoders for me? Any suggestions or aid is appreciated.

I have more or less settled on modeling the PRR (loosely) in the late 40's and early 50's. I have a lot of equipment from that era, but some of the locomotives I have aquired are not logical for Pennsy so I have come up with a freelance that will provide a point of interchange and a place to use some good equipment I don't want to part with.
We don't know which direction this is going, hence the Northern and Southern is born, "Always moving in the right direction".
