 | | Structural weakness in MOCs?

Strangely, I've found that one of my MOC deisel engines doesn't hold up well in 'extended service'...after a few hours, I was suffering frequent structural failures. I'd fix one failure, and find another different one around the next bend. :-( How (...) (25 years ago, 8-Feb-00, to lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf)

Hi All, I guess a big question is how many people are "in" or interested in both clubs. I would expect a lot of, if not complete overlap. I am also concerned that if we do not have a significant amount of "open to the public" time the Library may (...) (25 years ago, 7-Feb-00, to lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf)

At the risk of letting the cat out of the bag, I know of a person who has a s*** load of Metroliners. Any chance he will hook us up? (Hint, hint!) Beyond that, the only other person around us who has a Metroliner is the 3 car unit Eric McCarthy had. (...) (25 years ago, 7-Feb-00, to lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf)

If we end up doing NMRA, it would be nice to have a monster Metroliner on the layout. I'll have at least 15 cars relatively soon (not all with full doors/windows - 3 4558s, 2 grey wagon plates, and 4 4547s), Mike has 12, so that's 27 already. Anyone (...)

(...) A subway? Hmm, I'll get right on it as soon as I find a cheap Airpot monorail for the basis. :) But does he mean depth by distance away from observer or actual depth from top to bottom? Russell Clark (URL) 39423705 (25 years ago, 7-Feb-00, to lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf)

Well, for the first meeting, we have some things to discuss - major things that are hard to change later on. We need to set up standards for module construction, track locations, spacing, number of lines, etc. These are critical, since it determines (...)
