Re: ID colors
Loren Snyder
Bill,
Now that I have been assigned my own personal color, green/green, I feel impotent........uh, I mean important! I notice I am right next to Randy Smidt on the chart. He is green/yellow. Randy, don't you dare let any of your cars get too close to my cars.......we don't want any PALE greenish cars to show up unexpectedly." Bill, putting color dots on expansion track, tools, etc. is a great idea. But putting color dots on my food is going too far! Nobody better touch my BLT sandwich made with Miracle Whip........now them's fighting words!! Thanks for the colors.......am I now in a gang,......huh, am I, am I? When do I get to go out and bust somebody's couplers? Loren |

Re: ID colors
Loren, all:
Sounds like good thoughts to me!! I'll go visit Michaels and give themRats. I mistyped. Its the DECOcolor brand, not Durocolor. PS: Michael's has some unique special-for-them colors not commonly found in other sources (i.e., an Internet search on "decocolor"). Regards, Bill K. |

Re: ID colors
Loren, others:
Before you go to the mess of brush painting the bolster pins (remixing the paint and cleaning the brush), you might want to look at the DuroColor paint pens at Michael's Arts and Crafts. If the bolster pin is clean (wipe it with a Q-tip and alcohol first if you are not sure) a paint pen is a lot faster method. Our "dots" are holding fast after 8 years, even on surfaces that get rubbed a lot, like the bottoms of expansion track and hand tools. Its a solvent based paint, not water based, and covers the black pins with a single stroke. We even paint the sides of our rails with one, and that's survived track cleaning for 8 years, too. Just a thought. Bill K. Houston |

Re: ID colors
Loren:
How does one go about getting a color assignment? Just ask? If so I wouldGee, its a long, involved and tedious process of assigning colors IDs. <wink, wink> Don't forget to put color dots on your tools, expansion tracks, etc., which are identical to everyone else's. Depending on the club you are in, you may have to mark your food in the community icechest under the drapes, too. <grin> Regards, Bill K. Houston |

Re: ID colors
PACKER COLORS - that's great. Glad to see some of the WIZkidZ magic
rubbed off on you. How about "The Hills are alive... Hope all goes well with NTS 2006. I still want to take the kids to Germany, but this year we might not make it. Fill that tote bag with lots of new purchases. dave and nils |

ID colors
randy smidt
I need to paint some ID marks on some of my rolling stock and locos before an upcoming show (with three different Z displays and an Nn3 display). I would like to claim Green & Yellow. According to the last update to the ID color chart, that combo wasn't claimed yet.
Thanks, Randy Smidt Wash, DC Z-Bend Track group |

Ed, I'll be commuting. I only live about a half hour from the show. A year and a half ago, I lived about 3 1/5 miles from the Expo Center.

Dave,
Bryan has run my ICE train, and knows what he is up against. Mine was reworked by the Stiskas ( they work wonders on these sets) and runs great. I'm not sur of the details, but they change the circuit around to a be design, and no problems. As far as putting them together, just take it slow and easy.

It is not the easiest thing to put together, and doesn't run as well as other Marklin stuff. Save your money for another GP-35. I did buy some track and switches from him this week. They arrived much faster than I expected. Say hello to your son for us.

If you can't find exactly what you are looking for, either change your ebay criteria to German and world-wide or search thru the internet and you find the German pages where he often has more (same items, just does not have he time to put them on the English pages).

Re: Expansion Track on eBay

Hey Ed, Do you have any modules ready to run yet? I think I asked you this before, but we ended up with a little bit of extra room for the Chantilly show. If you have anything you want to bring along, feel free and let me know.
I just spoke with an Nn3er that works at my local hobby shop and he told me the Nn3 modules will be set up just across the aisle from where DC and Richmond will be set up. We are two display's down from Mr. Dave. I believe they have the floor plans for both buildings (vendors and displays in two separate buildings) posted on the WGH website now.
