Hotels With Rooms for the Convention
I just spend 25 frustrating minutes dealing with the hotel web site.? It was an endless loop: I specify my dates, select a hotel and get told, sorry (ha, ha), there are actually no rooms there.? Did

Re: hypothetical question with a real answer
?I mentioned before that a visitor at a train show attended by modelers (not just 'people who like trains') asked me what a Gauger was!? Part of this is the gradual change in English language

Re: NWSL J&L Tank, Another Question
With all the other ones out there, I wonder how many were actually imported? Jace Kahn ________________________________ Sent: Friday, June 21, 2024 10:52 AM To: [email protected]

Re: NWSL J&L Tank, Another Question
I have 15 of these J&L tank cars and need white decals instead of the black or green Champ decals Rusty

Re: hypothetical question with a real answer
My goodness, did this topic ever go down a different route than what I originally asked about. I never asked about good or bad. Let¡¯s pull this train into the station. I was looking for what you

Re: hypothetical question with a real answer
With that information I may have to start checking out the program. In the past I had been dissuaded by the random nature of Kellow's columns in the S Scale Resource and the O scale counterpart--lots

Re: hypothetical question with a real answer
Although, things have changed drastically over the years, anybody building/completed a layout is a modeler!? I pretty much have stopped with the wooden craftsman kits although I have some

Re: NWSL J&L Tank, Another Question
Bill, there was a small photo in the Steam era website several years past of it on the road in black, besides the typical silver 'photo version'. I believe that when a few of the Houston S guys were

Re: hypothetical question with a real answer
In discussions, I always prefaced with words like: "S is a tough scale to get into, it's not for someone looking for instant gratification." Ed pretty much hits the nail on the head.? I've seen some

Re: NWSL J&L Tank, Another Question
Most model J&L tank cars are painted wrong based on a builder's photo since that are almost no known photos of it running in the wild. My car is painted wring - oh well.. I am not changing

Re: hypothetical question with a real answer
I think that the "not building models" ship has already mostly sailed when it comes to engines and rolling stock.? Most are now sold well detailed (usually assembled in a place like China) and all

Re: hypothetical question with a real answer
You can call me a modeler as I still build models. Are you calling most S scalers collectors? Paul Vaughn [email protected]> wrote:

Re: hypothetical question with a real answer
And we can all stop calling ourselves modelers, because no one will be actually building models anymore.? As always, Tom Dempsey

Re: hypothetical question with a real answer
A lot of engines today, especially diesel, and some steam, are offered with road specific and/or period specific details.? HO has been really leading the way on this and the market seems to

Re: hypothetical question with a real answer
I WAS a real life HO modeler up until last year. I sold (still selling) my HO scale collection to build my S Scale collection. And I may have one other HO modeler and an N Scale modeler ready to

Re: hypothetical question with a real answer
Gents.... How many of us have actually sat down with a real-life avid HO modeler and discussed the availability of S products?? Here we are asking ourselves about how to sell S to HO/N modelers but

Re: NWSL J&L Tank, Another Question
There is a builders photo, probably from the CBC, circulating. The problem with builders photos is that too often they are painted in a light primer to highlight detail; most steam locomotives are

Re: hypothetical question with a real answer
Oh yeah, the "not enough stuff available" comment pisses me off. I know my collection of 400+ freight cars and 50 locomotives, all in scale, is not the largest in the world. But when you consider that
