I really like a Climax if they're reissued.

Loco Bill,

You rock! I was just about to ask the same question as I dug out the Xmas trolley from the 2006 Sam's set just last night.

Thanks!
TJ

I too wish Bachmann would re-release the Climax. I'd like to have one to run along with my Shay.

TJ

Bach-man,

I'd be interesting in a re-release on the Climax as well.

If you counting that is.

Best,
TJ

I'd buy a reissued Climax should Bachmann be disposed to release one.

Best,
TJ

Still, there are hidden screws and glue joints that just will boggle your mind trying to figure out how to get them apart.

I look forward to your article with great anticipation. I don't believe I'd have stayed in the hobby without Garden Railways and the many fine people (including yourself  ) that I've met on MyLargeScale.

I'm a big fan of TOC. He installed the Sierra sound system in my Shay and while on a very tight budget it was money very well spent. Incredible customer service (where it counts, when things go wrong!) TOC is aces in my book.

While I have some experience with building concrete scenery I've never cast any so there I cannot help you. But if you want to build a mountain I can offer some tips:

Very best regards (and can't wait for your next article),

K,

Look forward to the painting article. I've two of the Sam's club Annies I'd like to paint but you have no idea how intimidating it is to actually start such a project.

Should I take that off or paint over it? What about that? How is that connected? Where to spray? Where to brush?

Looking forward to your tips on getting a clear starting point.

Best regards,
TJ

Sightings usually start getting posted in late October or early November. Sometimes later.
