Some Technical help if your interested:
Note: It has become necessary to put this all to familiar blurb of text online for everyone to read...
The technical tips that are listed here have been written by myself in an effort to offer opinions and suggestions to other modelers in hope's of making the hobby more interesting and fun. What you read and see here are things that I have done. On occasion there will be articles by other authors/publishers but they will be noted so proper credit can be taken. I am not connected to any manufacturer or business in any way. I just like playing with trains.
If you would like to use any of these tips in club newsletters go ahead as long as it's used for non-profit. I do request that you retain my copyright and notice of authorship and mail me a hardcopy of that issue. Please e-mail me for my USPS address.
