NMRA convention 2017 Orlando FL
This convention in my opinion was a total waste of time and money, I'll tell you why in later posts.
CityClassics
Does anyone know if the owners of CityClassics (Jim and Cyndi Sacco) are ok? Their web page cart is disabled, most of the product links from their site don't work and they mention dealing with some health issues. Nearly all their products are back ordered on Walthers and Hobbylinc. I certainly hope they are doing well. They are such an asset to our hobby. Does anyone know?

Forum issues...
Okay, so... I can't comment!
I log into this forum, and it will let me blog, sure... but if I try to comment on any thread, it logs me out, and tells me I have to log in to make a comment (deleting whatever comment I've typed)
Also, if I go to another page, it does the same thing. So, say I'm reading a new message, and there are more new messages on the next page, when I go, I'm logged out again.
I have no idea how to fix this!
How do trains stay on the rails in a curved section of track?
I found this in a Popular Mechanics article that I happened upon on the Internet.
If you search YouTube for stable rollers you can get to the video directly again.

I found it very interesting indeed. For me, "Goes to show that you don't know what you don't know!"

Home brew photo etch?
Has anyone on this forum had any success,or failure doing their own photo etching? I'm thinking about experimenting with this process as my wife just bought a UV light for her nail polish...
I'm thinking about an easy project like making my own roof walks and end platforms in 1/29 scale.
This video is what got me thinking about it.
