(...) Whoa, thanks for the heads up. Our tree is in a carpeted room, and I doubt I'll ever run the thing except around Christmas time. It'll probably spend most of its life on display. Sad to hear about the scratching issues, Dave. I will remember (...) (15 years ago, 4-Dec-09, to lugnet.trains.org.tcltc, lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) In-home, floor level use is probably fine, but if you ever run that on a layout you better hope that it doesn't take a spill, or the silver paint is likely to get uglified. I was never really sure if they were painted or not, but recently I (...) (15 years ago, 4-Dec-09, to lugnet.trains.org.tcltc, lugnet.trains, FTX)

Here is a little trolley that I built yesterday to run around the Christmas tree this year: (URL) Aside from the WOW factor of seeing a MOC completely in a rare color, it was a pretty straight-forward build. The only tricky part was the fact that I (...) (15 years ago, 4-Dec-09, to lugnet.trains.org.tcltc, lugnet.trains, FTX) !

(...) Hi all, Ive seen last weekend someone who showed me some brass train wheels. Verry nice done, fitting on the standard steel axle from the cars. I gave him some tips: isolate the wheels from the steel axle and use brass contacts on the (...) (15 years ago, 3-Dec-09, to lugnet.trains)
