I would like guidelines and websites to purchase material for making AMV's and Crossings only the rail without Sleeper,

If you can help me.

thank you

I am looking to put some machinery in my locomotive machine shop. It would also be neat to get some part racks with parts. It needs to be 30-50's electric machinery. Can some of you point me in the right direction? I guess I need to mention HO scale.

Thanks.

So I had the tv on in the background while I worked on my layout, when all the sudden a commercial for vaporizers came on. It got me wondering, is it possible to put vapor pens filled with water into an HO scale smokestack and have a working smokestack? I've searched on the internet but the vaporizers are either way too big or don't hold a whole lot of liquid. Has anyone else made working smoke stacks with maybe a different method or have any idea on how to make the vaporizer method work? Thanks.

Currently, I am modeling the Norfolk Southern OCS in N-Scale. The prototype have what appear to be tubular diaphragms and I am now trying to figure out what size (again, this is for n-scale) heat shrink tubing I should use---as I have MTL heavyweight cars with the body mounted couplers for observation cars and sleepers, but have Rapido & Centralia Shops cars for the lightweight coaches and diner---as well as to what way would be best to attach it to my cars (ie. CA glue, etc.)

Any suggestions and/or tips would be GREATLY appreciated.
