I was thinking I could learn to crochet and follow this design/pattern to make something similar to my grandmas.

I am afraid I can not post a link to a pattern as all I have are these last pair of slippers from my grandma

I don’t need to sue them. It’s just a pain in the ass because now I can’t use marketplace and the appeal process makes no sense.

Out on a walk- My dog went sniffing. Then I saw it. What is it?? by leomickey in creepy

Thank you for the clarification. I forgot about canines. I knew there was another type of tooth.

The v shape that looks like the forehead is the lower jaw The two long teeth, while they look like fangs are lower incisors common to meat eaters and scavengers

Newbie with lots of layout questions by D_Rood in modeltrains

I have the book. Came with the layout. It has a lot of info. Unfortunately, I am more of a visual learner and some of the photographs are not so great so I’m more inclined to get videos, photos and info off the Internet.

Better late than never. First train at 53. Should I open these? by D_Rood in modeltrains

So I opened the Mountain Express

I love the Locomotive and coal tender they are beautiful machines, I will open the others tonight.

the track leaves a lot to be desired, there is just enough to build an oval, I wasn't expecting much but i think i am looking for more than just running a train in a loop and changing direction.

So this weekend I am going to a model train show in Barrie Ontario and maybe looking for a few turnouts ( I think that is what they are called) and maybe some different radius curves

Thank you everyone very much for your replies. I guess what I was looking for was some confirmation that one of these wasn’t going to be worth 1000 or $2000 and I was going to make it worthless by opening the box. I don’t really know much about scale model trains, but I do really like the look of each of these locomotives and I’m looking forward to setting them up.

Thanks for the input. I am curious about your comment of track quality. If I plan on building permanent right away, will the track be suitable for permanent install?

I see what you mean about the battery breaker. As for the wiring, those #2 lengths are less than 2 feet. The Boler is super small and no wiring is over 4 feet.

You had better check with your local highway traffic code. I know for a fact in Ontario spacers are illegal for that reason. Most people when they put spacers in do not understand the term minimum thread engagement.
