  1. When you're old with bad knees, hips and back, the Aristo type are easier to install. I still use the Aristo in difficult to reach areas. I may try these new ones................Jim
  2. These look stronger. I went back to split jaw after many of my Aristo clamps broke....................Jim
  3. Anyone try these rail clamps?...........................Jim http://www.bima-modellbau.de/product_info.php?language=en&info=p90_.html
  4. What are the dimensions. Will it fit in a box car?...................Jim
  5. All those items were also purchased at Michaels.
  6. Did S gauge this Christmas and the one cat likes to sleep on the Drive-in Movie. That is an 1 gauge MTH Big Boy in the window...............Jim
  7. Got these at Michaels back in 2010.
  8. I'll second that selection. GLENN CAMPBELL did a good version.
  9. Raymond, Is this strictly WiFi or will it also use 900Hz throttle? Have any dimensions?...............Jim
  10. Looks great and like fun; nice smoke. I have a 4-8-4 Western Pacific I modified so it can also run on battery..................Jim
  11. My favorite is the last one I purchased. So now it is a Mogal. When I started, it was a Mallet and a Dash 9. Lost count, love narrow and standard gauge, steam and diesel, but most I love the ones with great sound. I'm still installing Phoenix sound as I get time. Just did 4 SD45's, 2 E8's and a Mogal. MTH is great to, love the sync'd smoke and control system. Must be a mood thing..............Jim
  12. I picked up one of his cards and he is still doing train repairs..................Jim
  13. Same with me, no more room in my train barn. So now I concentrate on the small stuff like electronics which still costs a lot but takes up no room. These 6 P8's now give me 8 and I will trade 2 2K2's in on P8's for total of 10. This spring I will set up work bench on porch to do all these installs. I prefer the good outdoors lighting. The eye sight is not as good as it use to be. Then they go from the porch to the track for testing............Jim
  14. Joe, I was there Saturday and boy was it dismal. If you wanted to stand in line, you would not find one. I usually go Friday and Saturday but this year I could not. I heard Friday was not to bad. I remember the first one I attended on 2006, you could not move without stepping on some toes. I made some good buys, 15 to 25 % off. Besides what I showed above I got 6 Phoenix P8's. I have a bunch of engines that still need sound and REVOs.............Jim
  15. Picked up a few things including some Phoenix P8 sound boards.............Jim
  16. Stopped at the REVO booth at the 2017 ECLSTS at York. Even with the release of the USB device programmer they still do not have alternative engine sound files. I was told a few more months, just as I was told last year. Well at least my new MTH BB should soon be on its way and my first Protosound 3.0 upgrade was an embarrassing success.........Jim
  17. if they only put flanges on first and last axle wheels with blind wheels in middle i bet they can do 10 foot diameter. Of coarse they will not do that because it is not prototypical........Jim
  18. Raymond, Got a new project to keep me busy until the BigBoy arrival. Decided to do some S-scale. Ordered some MTH S-scale ore cars for my AF GN Challenger. Have an AF SD70ac coming today. My first train was an AF PA Comet passenger set back in 1956; still have it up in the attic; time to bring it down. ..................JIm
  19. I use stainless steel track but what I have read there is no such thing as solid copper. There is brass track with various amounts of copper. The higher the % of copper gives better conductivity. I do not believe that 120 feet should not be a problem as far as conductivity, stainless would be a problem. No matter what brass you use it will corrode over time and require cleaning.......Jim
  20. RLD has the new Revo products in stock including the USB programmer. Prices look good..........Jim
  21. REVO is back.........Jim http://www.revoelectronics.com/
  22. Still use old remotes for xmas layout in house because I like to use the record/replay feature. Hope we get it on WIFI version........Jim
