A prison for my layout.....that sounds tempting.  I could have a glow everytime we flip the switch on old sparky.  You could have prisoners attemting breakouts.  Sleeping guards.  Women with fast cars on the outside.  Search lights, too.   

Thanks for sharing.  Smile [:)]

It was an O scale item. Not sure who made it? I had them take it out of the display case for a picture!

I must be blind.  Did not see the repair.  Maybe I should enlarge.  Great job.

Thanks, that's what I thought.  Already have the HO set - it was my first toy train since a Santa Fe Freight HO set when I was a kid.

 

OO runs on the same gauge track but is a larger scale 1:76 versus 1:87 not much difference buit a difference just the same. At least that is what I have been told.

Thanks - I've got an HO set that came from Bachman....   Is OO comparable to HO or O gauge in size?  Probably couldn't afford it anyway....

Thought I'd post some photos of the repaired 2025.  At least it runs now and doesn't look too bad.  I may try to add more epoxy to the surface later and then smooth it with a dremel.  It really doesn't effect operation and I will never sell it, so I might leave it alone.  Structurally it is sound and I have a replacement boiler front on it along with a replacement pick roller on the tender.







Finally a photo of my Christmas layout.  It is noisy runner, but it smokes up a storm.




Take care,

Mitch

I was thinking if ie7 had something to do with it. I upgraded a while ago, so far this is the first problem i came across. i haven't posted any pics since i upgraded because of a broken camera, witch i just replaced. to bad microsoft will not fix it, i like ie7 so far.

It almost certainly is because of IE v7.0 because I updated not too long ago and every post I make with a picture doesn't show, and furthermore, the text is all disheveled and misplaced..... I doubt microsoft will fix this unless it is a problem on nearly all forums.... I am really considering uninstalling the update now myself, as others on this forum have had to do...
