Hi This is from www.mremag.com hints and tips... I know it is English but it still applies Ever wondered if you could recycle your washed aluminium foil or foil chocolate wrapper? Roll your foil into tight balls about 1/2" or so diameter then take a pair of slip joint pliers and using the jaws mould them into cubes. Being Scrap metal, they would be discoloured so paint them with a rusty orange/brown colour. A number of cubes and you therefore have a load of scrap metal for that otherwise unemployed
This comes from the Model Railway Express www.mremag.com Hints and Tips which are also archived Early in 2008 I saw a 4x8 layout which was a “work in progress” similar to what I have done with my own memorial layout “Newry” at an exhibition. The purpose of this layout like my own was to show what one could start out doing and was on unpainted Medium Density Fibreboard (MDF). The builder used Flextrack for the “straight sections” and Peco 2 nd and 3 rd radius curves for the end curves. Points were
We had the set up tonight and it is looking really OK, and different from last years show! We are in the Gym hall at Braybrook Secondary College in Burke St Braybrook... hope to see some of you over the weekend... I'll be at the Free-mo stand under the Melton MRC banner... seeing I'm President, I suppose that is fair enough! Cheers Trevor
If you want to see past efforts, have a look at http://www.xdford.digitalzones.com/e..._main_page.htm It is only one weekend of two exhibitions but might give you an idea! When you try for the second Woodend page, just substitute a lower case "e" for the Capital; "E" in exhibition... I would alter it but it has become an issue to get at the page! Other photos will come, BTW Thankyou Cowman for your good wishes! And may you get the chance to visit our shores one day! Regards Trevor

Can I make a totaly offbeat suggestion which may assist you testing your layout for operations? It comes from the Hints and Tips which I edit for the British Model Railway Express Magazine (www.mremag.com) Rather than rewrite it, here it is in full as printed Virtual Planning by Trevor Gibbs To try and see how a track plan may or may not work, I have used Auran's Trainz program to draw up the layout and test run the layout using virtual trains before committing to the carpentry. While I have
Hi All, If you happen to be in the area of Braybrook (Suburb of Melbourne) on August 8th and 9th, come and say hello at the exhibition at Braybrook Secondary College's Gym Hall, I personally will be manning the Freemo component which will be demo building 2 and possibly three modules.

There are over 20 displays there and apart from the Thomas Layout
I have found that the Tamiya paints brush on really well and there is very little evidence of brush stroke. It tends to even out fairly well and I believe others in the same genre of paints work similarly well. Hope this helps, Cheers from Australia, Trevor www.xdford.digitalzones.com for your interest!
Has anyone a half reasonable explanation about how TRS2006 download centre actually works? I have got file to somewhere I think but how do I then install them? The book is absolute garbage for an explanation and the Help Desk is not much better... TIA Trevor
When you reassembled your trucks, did you put in the thrust washers? Sounds to me like one of two things. The motor tends to push against the thrust washers between the worm and the bearing inside the truck mount. Depending on how far you disassembled your model, have you checked that there is clearance between the flywheel and the motor frame in both directions? The motor shaft moves a little along its axis and your flywheel could be hitting the frame. Did you lightly lube the motor bearing from
