Model Railroad Roundhouse/turntable Q? Question: This is probably a really stupid but im reseting up my ho scale trains and want to add a roundhuse and turtable so i dont have to keep taking them of the track to switch engines. My questions is that are the tracks on the turntabel and in the roundhouse electrified and if they are how? Or are they only if u have track on both sides? like how would this elctrify? ------- ( / ) <======== with the dashes the siding the backslash the turntable and the equal sign the roundhouse. Hope this wasn't to confusing thanks! =) I was going to use the Atlas manual turntable. I currently have the Power-Loc track but the connections are weak and there isnt very many expansions for it so im am probably going to switch to the Atlas 100 track through discounttrainsonline.com Answer: Most model turntables will have their own power connection to power the track on the turntable itself (the bridge) - i.e. there will be a pair of wires from the turntable itself that you would connect to your track power (transformer), and that powers the bridge tracks. As for powering the siding that leads to the turntable, that will usually be powered just like the rest of the track on your layout. Some models of turntables are designed so that when the bridge is aligned to one of the roundhouse tracks, there will be an electrical connection from the turntable to the roundhouse track, so that the roundhouse track draws from the same power as the turntable bridge. This is nice because you don't have to wire the roundhouse tracks separately - plus the only time any of the roundhouse tracks have power is when the turntable bridge is lined up with it. Other turntables don't provide the power feed to the roundhouse tracks, so you'd have to wire them separately, and presumably put a toggle switch or some other switch to turn the power on when you want to drive an engine on or off of the roundhouse track and to turn the power off when your engine is parked on the track. I don't think you have DCC, so I don't think you would need the PM42 as mentioned in another answer or any other auto-reverser for that matter, but you may need to have a switch wired so that if you turn the turntable bridge 180 degrees around, you can change the polarity of the bridge to match the track that you're lined up to. However, many turntables are also designed so that if you do rotate the bridge around 180 degrees, the polarity will automatically be lined up properly between the turntable bridge and the track. If you have enough engines to justify a turntable and roundhouse, it might be worth your time to go down to your nearest train shop and talk to the people there about the turntables they sell and how they would work. The train shop might be a bit more expensive than the online train place, but you'll want to be sure about what you need to do based on the particular turntable you get. |

what do you think of this story? Question: It was 2006 and the first day of june, i had just finished my exams and had nothing to do, so i thought why not go for a walk?, instead of following the crowd, going to a bench, drinking cider, until you piss yourself in your sleep, smoke a bag of crack and finish the evening by having sexual relations with a promiscuous 'chav' against a bin behind the local tesco. So i left my house and started walking to no place in particular, just walking for the sake of walking, my travels eventually bought me to a wood, i thought to myself that it probably wouldnt do me any harm taking a walk through the woods so off i went. I had been walking about 10 minutes when i stopped to help a wild boar who had chipped a hoof and was crying hysterically as she was making a booty call later that night with that guy from the river cottage program, you know the guy with hair like a mop, and glasses like hes some new york model? yeh that guy, you know how he likes his country animals :O we exchanged polite words and i was on my way again, suddenly out the corner of my eye i saw a flash of orange and several trees being uprooted as this flash of orange was going past them. Sprouting a turtle head, I ran but to no avail, it stopped in front of me and i looked it in the face and realised it was CHUCK NORRIS! i asked him why he was in the woods cruely destroying the magical scenery of mother nature, and he replied with 'i was having my daily swim through land', not wanting to keep him from this i carried on my travels, as i looked back to wave i saw him suavely roundhouse kick a 7 foot black bear away from him as it went in for an attack. poor bear :( when i got to the end of the woods, i came to a place called bowood house and gardens, its a very nice scenic place, BUT before i did ANYTHING else i had to go and have a few goes on the death slide there. one word AMAZING! As i had just walked through the wood and depleted all my remaining energy playing on the death slide, i decided to have a walk by the lake, i threw a few stones and made them bounce on the surface off the lake, my personal record is fifteen bounces, but i can no longer do this since my horrific accident in which i was cleaning my toilet and the seat fell on my wrist permanently reducing my wrist action, needless to say bouncing rock off a lakes surface wasnt the only 'activity' ruining by this accident. anywho.......on with the story, being in a trance like state of looking at the lake and bouncing the stones, i failed to see the gang of swans ready to ambush me and i walked right into their trap! The biggest swan was about the size of that guy from the green mile, the one who has the special powers, and brings that poor mouse back to life, and heals tom hanks bladder infection by grabbing his winky? i tink his name was john coffey, like the drink only not spelled the same. anyway, yeh the size of him, and he was mean looking but he was different from most swan because instead of having black rings around his eyes he had just one star around his white eye, looking at the three other swans i realised they were different too and each of these four swans resembled a member of the band 'kiss'! The biggest swan with the star aroung his eye (i think his name was 'swanchild') lunged at me and i fell back into the lake whilst trying to dodge him. as soon as i was in the lake i dived under the water, and started swimming down, i suddenly remembered i had some gillyweed in my pocket which was lucky as other wise i would have been royally screwed! so i ate that and kept swiming down. as i got toward the bottom of the lake i passed a sign that said 'welcome to ye' olde mannings hill'. i wandered why there was asign this far underwater, but thought nothing more of it, the deeper in the lake i got i realised that there were buildings around me. (it was very strange) i decided i was going to try and find some of the towns people to introduce myself, after an hour of searching i realised nobody would live here as it was too wet, so i sat in the middle of what would have been the cattle market (i presume) and sat and smoked a cigarette (for some reason the physics of the world had decided to let me off as it was a stressful time for me) there i was, all alone sat in a town that had lain underwater for over 200 years, and wished i had just stayed home. sadly i dropped my cigarette, and as i bent down to pick it up, i saw something sticking out the dirt, so i picked dug it out and it seemed to be a jar containing some form of petal, so i stuck it in my pocket, finished my cigarette, which didnt taste very nice now that it had been on the lake floor, and swam to the surface of the lake, i then got my mobile phone out and called a taxi to take me home. when i got home, the first thing i did was take out the jar and try to figure out what it was, now that i had it in the light, i could se it was full of water and had a strange petal in it, it looked very much like a rose petal but i was not sure. i took the lid off and sniffed it but it just smelled normal, at this point my 'disadvantaged' (hes disadvantaged because he had broken both his back and front legs by chasing a cat into the path of a fat kid riding a spacehopper, and the fat kid landed on him in all his fatness and as a result he had to have all his legs in casts) decided to jump up at me (to this day i don't know ow he jumped up as all his legs were in casts) and the jar spilled a little water onto his tongue, as soon as he drank that splash of water his legs became super buff and split the casts off his legs. he was healed by the water, and he could walk!!! (insert afro-american church song) and that was how i found this jar of water. thank you for reading Answer: nice story |

Any advice for more realistic scale brickwork? Question: I know there are modelers here. I'm ready to starting building an HO scale roundhouse from Walthers. I have the models and I am armed with an airbrush. I also have all the artistic talent one would expect from a cocker spaniel. So how would an artistic cripple such as myself approach making the brickwork a little more believable? Not necessarily weathering, but trying to get a more brick-ish appeal from the larger panels (fifteen stall with machine shop). Or is dull coat the best I can hope for? Or should I sell the whole mess, buy some beer and go fishing? Answer: I've had success with two different techniques on both HO and N-scale brickwork: 1) I spray the panels the color of the mortar FIRST, let it dry for 24 hours and THEN spray the brick color. I then mix tiny amounts of the brick color with white and black and/or another color to get the variety one often sees in older brick buildings and I randomly paint bricks. THEN I take a scribe and gently etch out the brick color in the mortar lines... with care and patience you get GREAT brick panels. I will then seal it with a matte-coat and apply weathering with pastel chalks. 2) The technique that Steven D mentioned... painting the panels the BRICK color first and then floating in a wash of the mortar color. I don't like this as much because I don't often get the wash to flow correctly. |

Question about NYC Dental Labs? Question: Hello. I'm moving to NYC and will be seeking a job to further my career in dental technology. I have 6 years of experience. I spent the first three years in a large corporate lab waxing and metal finishing everything from single crowns to roundhouses full of attachments. Basically all aspects of metal frame work. Currently I have worked in another lab for the last three years, doing everything. I am the only employee working for my boss sharing responsibility in all aspects of the field. I spent the last three years doing everything from the model work all the way to a finished restoration. The lab I got my start in was a Glidewell owned laboratory, and it was all about get em in get em out with a three day turn around and a flat rate of $99 per crown.. Now I work in a more quality lab. My boss sells his crowns for about $230 a unit, not including metal price. We have a two week turn around, and do some of the best work in our town working for about 7 dentists and producing about 100-150 units a month. I am very good at what I do. And being that I can do it all, and do it well, im not too worried about getting a job in NYC. Also, when applying for a job, my resume will have plenty of references from some very experienced lab owners and managers. And I know that when these references are checked upon, the employer calling will hear nothing but good things about my work habits and ethics. But Im worried about one thing. No matter how much experience I have, no matter how wide in range my knowedge is.... I am not CDT certified. Will this cause me a problem in NYC? Even with my qualifications? Even with a very impressive resume? Thank you, and I love yahoo answers. Marc - LasVegas, NV marcusthegladiator@hotmail.com Answer: Yes thats a problem not being certified |

can I ask what is Let's Take A Trip 18.? Question: 1967: Can you Please add some songs to my list? thank you. Can you believe it, were waking down the avenue of time and here we are 1967.So show we get the show on the road? This is the year The Doors make a name for themselves beyond the Los Angeles area, releasing their groundbreaking debut album, and the Number One single 'Light My Fire.' Taking their name from Aldous Huxely's work The Doors Of Persception, a study of his own experiments with hallucinogenic drugs, the band is controversial from the start. Singer and lyricist Jim Morrison enthusiastically models himself after the greek god of wine and orgiastic exess, Dionyso [although he thankfully draws the line at the human sacrifice part]. Morrison's uncompromising stand, coupled with a rampant drink and drug consumption, inevitably bring conflict with police forces and local authorities, who make various attempts to curb his apparently outrageous and lewd conduct, on and off stage, but only succeed in intensifying the singer's legendary status and obseeive following. A giant freakout talkes place at London's Roundhouse. Bands on the bill include Pink Floyd, The Who and The Move. 20,000 hippies turn out for the Human Be-In at Golden Gate Park, San Francisco, with music from Jefferson Airplane, Big Brother and the Holding Company, and Quicksilver Messenger Service. Similar events are held on the same day in Los Angeles and New York City. There's pandemonium at London's Heathrow Airport as fans try to get a glimpse of The Monkees arriving for their first promotional tour of Britain. 20th of Feburay Kurt Cobain, future leader of Nirvana is born in Gray's Harbour Community Hospital, Aberdeen Washington. The Velvet Underground release their debut album, The Velvet Underground And Nico, in the US. Steve Winwood leaves the Spencer Davis Group to form Traffic. As part of a package tour headed by Roy Orbison and The Small Faces, Jeff Beck unveils The Jeff Beck Group, featuring vocalist Rod Stewart, bassist Ron Wood and drummer Ray Cook, at The Astoria, Finsbury Park, London. Police use tear gas and batons to dispel a riot when The Rolling Stones play their first gig behind the Iron Curtain in Warsaw, Poland. 100 fans are injured. US Greyhound Bus Company starts to run tourist trips through San Francisco's 'Hippyland'. June 16th The Monterey Pop Festival begins at the county fairgrounds in Monterey, northern California, marking the start of what becomes known as The Summer Of Love. It's also a landmark event for several of the performers. Janis Joplin's manager doesn't want her performance filmed, but fortunately for posterity she persuades him otherwise. Otis Redding wins over a whole new audience of rock fans. And The Who, not widely known in the States beforehand, crash through 'My Generation' trashing their gear and sending a wake-up call to the more laidback concert-goers. Most memorable however is the triumphant US homecoming of Jimi Hendrix, mesmerising his audience and iconically setting fire to his Stratocaster guitar aat the climax of 'Wild Thing'. The Beatles release their new album, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, in the UK. It goes straight to number one. David Bowie's debut album is released on Deram Records. Mick Jagger and Keith Richard are found guilty of drug offences and sentenced to three months in jail, prompting The Times to run the famous editorial, 'Who breaks a butterfly on a wheel?'. In support, The Who record and release two Jagger & Richards songs, 'Under My Thumb' and 'The Last Time', billing themselves as The Who In Support Of Mick & Keith, A month later both successfully appeal. The Jimi Hendrix Experience pull out of a totally unsuitable supporting slot on The Monkees US tour. He's recently been criticised by the Daughters Of The American Revolution, who claim his act is 'too erotic.' October 3rd folk hero Woody Guthrie dies. November 9th Rolling Stone America's first national rock magazine, is launched in San Francisco, giving away a free roach clip with every issue. Now On With the show, if you like?
