Great!! I make severed limbs and heads out of latex and was getting furious tonight when I tried to paint acrylics by thinning them down with water. Looks like I need to get the proper thinner, at least you saved me a few hours of frustration! Thanks!

Great site. Really good and interesting read on a cold winter's morning here in Blighty. An inspiring garden layout - the next best thing in the absence of my own!
Keep it up. Hope this message gets through your mountains of spam.

Searching Google for SD45 features

Corona, CA

George,
I have a question for you about the SD 45 lighting diagram you have in the Aristo SD45 Tips article. The diagram shows the black (ground) wire from the front marker lights connecting to white (voltage in) and the orange (front porch) connecting to black (ground). Is this correct or should that be reversed orange to white and black to black?
The article is very full of helpful info. It has answered many questions I had. I am in the process of putting DCC in my SD45. After reading your article I think I have enough information to proceed. I will not be using the plug in decoder (Digitrax DG583AR) I will be using AirWire 900. That means some wire cutting will be needed. Your article has been very helpful in that respect.
Thanks,
Bob

So happy that you are updating the site. I have haunted this site and gleaned many, many, great tips. It was, and is, a huge resource for anyone into GRRs.

George, GREAT to have you back and active again! I am retiring at the end of November this year. My outdoor layout also suffered from several years of neglect and I pulled it all. I may rebuild an elevated RR this time around. The indoor layout gives me all winter to play but I miss the outdoors experience.

Nice to see you making such huge progress.

This is a really useful site. The page on sound cards is out of date though. You might want to update with current info.

1918: 10,000 Engineers (railroad specialist) trained at Fort Benjamin Harrison.
Husband's grandfather, Homer Miller, trained about this time...looking for additional info and found your 1917 Edition by the Corp of Engineers to build Railway's.
Curious if this was really their training manual? How ironic you actually had a copy.

I have just installed track in the yard, and would like to convert my engine to battery powere. I have then 10amp version of the Aristo engineer. What would be the best battery set up to run the train an hour or so? I was looking at three sealed lead acid 6 volt 7amp batteries wired in series, but the weight seemed excessive. Do you have any suggestions?

Your comments about British food are about as accurate as Chirac's. You must have been singularly unlucky or only tried the kind of places reserved for unwitting tourists. However, at least you bothered to travel outside the US, so credit for that

Stumbling about.

Laramie, Wyoming

I've been toying with the idea of building a fairly simple switchback layout. I thought about building it outside, but then figured out a way to build something above a portion of my large HO gauge system. Oddly enough I think I can run my HO gauge track under and in front of my G gauge switchback and it will look interesting rather than unnatural. The shots of your indoor layout were very helpful for me in visualizing things. I will probably build one large smelter structure and leave it at that. It is a easier to cover up blunders in HO than in G.

Beautiful and informative site!
I run a 150 ft LGB layout in my garden in Sutton, Quebec, mainly for the entertainment of the local children.
Can you advise which other engines could operate on the LGB system? LGB has become too expensive for me and I am looking for alternative engines and rolling stock to expand my layout.
Thank you very much.

You obnoxious, arrogant colonial. Edinburgh - a backwater. Don't be so self centered and narrowminded. That attitude is why Americans have a bad rap outside your own tunnel vision. Just remember that Edinburgh, and most of Europe, was around LONG before the NEW World !!!!!!!
