    Why is it I can only lay track late at night? Is it prototypical?

      Only if you overrun and play with buses the following morning....

      Never use rail joiners to feed current is the motto. A feed to every individual piece of rail!

    Is Internet Explorer dead? Or is it just acting that way? Perhaps it likes to randomly punish its users? Just to let them know who is in control...

    Is HO - N gauge for them of us a bit over the hill??

      I think TT or 3 mm gauge would be ideal. N is quite small and OO takes up space especially with modern 12 inch locos and coaches. TT gives more space and flexibility. In modern smaller homes where space is short I'm sure there'd be a market for train sets in TT.

    Super glue can defy the law of gravity and even relativity - It can climb against gravity -and go where no one put it - Magical mayhem would be a better name for it...Perhaps the words Krazy Glue were more apt than the inventors realized...!

    Ashort note written to a well known and much loved supplier of trains...Why on earth would you list a forthcoming Bachmann item 44-539 (Scenecraft Platform Tractor Unit) under magnifiers and loupes? It took a while to find.. Are to trying to not sell them? You might want to relocate this item...Just a suggestion.. However it might just be some clever marketing ploy that has somehow eluded me...

      I recall reading some years back of someone having seen an advert for a cassette hose in the Hi Fi / Audio section of a local newspaper.

      SWMBO was very kind and just smiled. The carpet man came and went leaving it patched. Cost? The price of a new Loco - Ouch!

      Probably brake gear - I've got a bag of the stuff in the box and really aren't sure where it is all supposed to go.

      Keep them, they're good for modifying other chassis..

  25. Bill

    Is it Windows 7 or just the freaking G@$#$^y computer that freezes up at random intervals?
