Mike will be in my prayers tonight. Paul
Well I must say this has been a very informative post, not only have I learned many ways to clean a layout, but I've also learned how to get the AC out of the wires, and them pesky little critters off the layout, hmmm very good boys. Paul
Maybe your just burnt-out, try and walk away from it for a while, and see if your intrest comes back. Paul
I've done both my share of buying, and selling on ebay, I have 100% feedback, and knock on wood have never had a bad transaction either as a seller or buyer. When I sell items, mostly guitars I ALWAYS take MANY good and CLEAR pics of the item, at all the angles I can think-up. I also look good and hard at a bidders feedback, and the sellers feedback. But I have noticed that many train sellers don't post clear pics when they sell them on ebay, but to be fair, many do. The best advice I can
I've been studying how the 2-8-0 engine goes over the switch track, and YES it's the pilot trucks that seem to be the culprit. they appear to ride up on the switch mechanism. The other thing I noticed is that all the engines that take the switch tracks easily have 4 pilot trucks, not two!!

Hi everyone, I hope your all doing well. Well I just discovered another "mystery of electric trains", I have 4 steam loco's, one is a Lionel 4-4-2, one is an MTH 4-6-2, one is an MTH 4-6-4, and my newest one is an MTH 4-8-0.

My layout is still in the building stages, so thats not a problem for me, but sooner or later things like dust will settle on the trees, and grass, when that happens what do you guys recommend? Paul
WOW, I am impressed, factory paint jobs pale in compairison to yours. Where did you learn to paint like that, I wish I could. Paul
Another great place to order train stuff is Jim's Train Shop in Homer City PA. I've bought lots of things from him, he's a good knowledgable guy, his prices are the lowest I have found, and he does'nt gouge on the shipping prices. Paul
