Hope this works http://www.catfish-hollow.com/layout.html

Sadly, it has been my experience that the adults (who SHOULD know better!) fiddle with things more than the kids!  A friend of mine was trying to sell a brand new mini lathe...he finally got so tired of people foodling with it "just looking" that he put up a little sign that said "Turn knobs, $20" A little sign to the effect of "I break I cry, you break you buy" can sometimes gets the point across without being too offensive.

Also, be prepared to have people low ball you on prices. I've been offered $5 on an $80 item, told that they could get it elsewhere for half what I was asking (so go buy it there, and while you are at it, I'll take 3....), informed the exact sale price of an item when they didn't buy it in 1968, yadda, yadda. Just take it in stride and remain polite.

MOST of the people in the hobby are good guys, but be aware that there are a few weasels, too

Name That Locomotive


Uhhhhh, How about George? 

I hope if they rerun it that they fatten it up a bit. Mine are VERY light on their feet.

DC, or summat more accurately PWM (pulse width modulation) I just like the operating characteristics of the Crest power packs....BTW as I understand it mixing PWM and DCC will cause havoc with the decoders, so I doubt I'll convert anytime soon!

Hmmm, I live in Indiana, Pa (Jimmy Stewart's boyhood home!) I have an indoor gauge 1 mostly Lehmann empire (as if you can call a 5' x 8' loop built on a diningroom table much of anything!) some On30 floating about and a 3-1/2" gauge live steam Stephenson's Rocket taking up space on the entertainment center.

I'm on disability and run a very small part time business supplying kits to model engineers.
