Eric White, editor of MODEL RAILROADER, just indicated again that they are eager to get photos of S layouts and models for publication. In correspondence today he said: "Please keep encouraging your S scale colleagues to keep sending in photos - they do a lot of good work." You can submit photos directly to Eric at "eric.white@...".

The mid 80s Overland S Scale diesels all have the "tank" drive which are extremely random if they will run well or not. Even though they all have what looks like the same gearbox some run really fast like it is a different reduction. I have what I think is a NWSL 244-6 gearbox. It was a real easy swap out for my test almost like NWSL made it for that use. This test also ran fast. Does anyone know if NWSL can change the gears to get more reduction? I am by far not the gear expert. NWSL website says you need a MOD4 for S Scale use. Does someone else make a suitable gearbox? The motor and truck shafts are about 1 1/8" apart. Even for the locos I think are running "well" the SLOWEST speed usually has them waddle because the motor is cogging. A significant reduction would stop that as the motor would be spinning at a higher RPM. I don't care about high speed. I have about 5 locos that are not running well. A new gearbox might fix them Thank You, Bill Lane Modeling the Mighty Pennsy, PRSL & Reading in 1957 in S Scale since 1987 See my finished models at: http://www.lanestrains.com/My_Models.htm Look at what has been made in PRR in S Scale!

While recommending museum wax, it's important to order the correct wax. You will want the fixative, or mounting wax...not the paste style which is used to protectively coat the surface of artifacts. Jim Martin

Ed asked me to post this message to the group: Smiling Ed reports he has consumed hospital cuisine for the past several days with several more days to go. He was processing three orders for parts of various kinds when a nasty dog bite sent him seeking medical help. Rest assured he will return to S scale matters upon return home. He appreciates your patience and understanding.

Hi All The steel wheels and axles seem to create problems for me using magnets strong enough to ensure consistent uncoupling...but the magnets grab the trucks. The brass wheelsets work fine. I have a pretty good collection of scale wheelsets in steel if anyone out there prefers the steel sets over brass I would be happy to swap :-) Kim

It must be the time for 1/64 vehicles; while shopping last night at my local Walmart I found a 1947 Dodge Power Wagon under the Greenlight Collectibles, Pawn Stars heading. Truck is a stepside , green with a winch mounted in the split front bumper. Only saw the one I bought. John Keating

I just wanted to share what a "bad" li-po battery looks like. In late 2011, I switched to using batteries to run my locomotives. Late last year I noticed one of my engines did not respond. Not running the engine that often and not have too much time for the hobby, I finally got arond to opening it up, and it became immediately apparent what had happened. Presumably during one of my routine charging sessions, its battery had "exploded" (as the media like to call it; sounds more "dramatic"). Basically, the battery expands. There was plenty of space in the interior for it to expand to. I have a page on my personal web site that shows the before and after photos of that battery. https://www.pmrr.org/Articles/indexElectronicsBattery_Power13When_Things_Go_Bad.php My other batteries from that same time frame are all still functional and operational. - Peter. -- Peter Vanvliet (info@...) owner, Fourth Ray Software Houston, Texas https://fourthray.com/ https://pmrr.org/ (personal web site)
