    I seem to have a knack of putting threads in the wrong category. I have a camera and am about to start construction on "phase two" of my Michigan Central UNLIMITED layout. Now that I CAN actually get photos up on these hallowed pages WHERE should I place the thread I will dedicate to it. Thanx and BTW you are a MENCH and I'm liking your forum immensely. Genekt44 is a real piece of work but I think I've killed him with kindness! LOL! At least I hope it was entertaining!

    Hey, John, can you do me a flavor? Remove that thread I started, or close it or something.
    That Yahoo news article is making me feel really stupid about now.

    Hey Gunrunnerjohn,
    I have a resistor question for you. I have a MTH Extended Vision caboose. As you know they are very nice. However, the lights are too bright for my taste when I run TMCC. What resistor value would I use to dim them to look more like interior lights of a caboose?

    John, I have a problem. When the password change occurred, I never got an email about changing the password. I may have accidentally blocked any emails from the forum and joined again with a different user name and email address.

    Is there any way I can get a new password for my old account?

    Hi John -- I am not a fan of new password policies, yet in this world I understand. But I have to say I had one Hell of a time trying to get the website to work for me. No matter how diligently I typed my keys, it still missed placing letters in the required spaces. It seemed like the website was overcome with a long-running script. Nevertheless, I made it back. Now, another member here cannot get on. You may know him as FlyerNut in the S-scale forum pages. His real name is Loren Bock. He reached out to me via email to notify he cannot get back on despite resetting his password. If you could please reach out to him and help him get back on the forum. Thanks, Don

    Hey John,
    Is there a way to shrink the pictures I post? They are way too big.

    Hello:
    I been a member for a while just hanging around reading and finding information. I have several complete Lionel Train sets and lots of odds and ends. My favorite is a 252 Olive green 1926?. Dug out my boxes the other day I found I have 14 Lionel Steam engines. My question is and I can not find this after several days searching. I have a Army #41 switcher. The armature leads were burnt off so I decided to rewind it using #28 mag wire it runs somewhat OK biggest problem is the com was loose and I can't get it into the correct alignment. Runs quite one direction but growls and get hot the other. Guess that is why it toasted itself. I have seen several pictures of armatures and seems there is a big difference. Some slots align with the stator some are 90 degrees and, some are at an angle.
    Thanks

    John, there is a pop-up associated with this site. It's a phish message with a link to ipcloudsvr302. I see the pop-up every time I come here. Hope you can fix it.

    You seem to have as much experience with LEDs as anyone. I was going to order some 1.5mm LEDs, and only found 2 sellers. Most of the listings were from one seller, and the price was about double what I paid some time ago.

    Do sellers come and go?

    Is there someone who has cornered the market?

    The HO DCC shorting problem thread today probably should
    be in the DCC forum, Not the General forum.

    There is a PM from tr1 that continues to claim I haven't read it. I have,
    more than once and
    it won't go away. Can you give it a hand in going please. I note below
    that he is wishing to unsubscribe, wonder why? He asked recently
    to mark me as a Friend. ???
