- Cleaning And Care Of Your Model Train
by Victor Epand. This is something you con do yourselves, but I'm going to suggest you take it to the train store and ask them to show you how. The reason is that each locomotive is a little different. They come apart differently, they use different materials, and so forth.
The basic concept is fairly simple. Remove the locomotive shell. Clean out any dirt with a can of compressed air is often handy for this, th... products, articles, news
- Comparison of Popular Model Train Types and Brands
by Victor Epand. Fleischmann trains are made in Germany and are of very high quality. Most of my model trains are British or American. But I do have a few Fleischmann locomotives in both HO and N gauge and they are really superior. They are comparatively expensive in the United States, but well worth the expense.
Kato is superior equipment, but they only manufacture American and Japanese models, not European as ... products, articles, news

by Derek Wood. Perhaps you thought of getting a new tall ship model lately, if so, you might have given some consideration to building one. The choice of whether to build or buy does not even take into concern the type of ship you are looking to get and that will be left to your preference.

by Victor Epand. I've looked through numerous catalogs, consulted a friend that runs a hobby shop and so far have come up empty. I have not been able to find plastic or wood models of any ancient Egyptian vessels. At this point I can only recommend that you might consider scratch building one. There seems to be reference on several versions, with Chop's barge being the most covered subject.
The fist problem I ca... products, articles, news
- Replacement For Model Trucks
by Victor Epand. I think anybody makes a replacement metal truck that just screws on and provides exact coupler height. I have replaced trucks but always had to do some work on the car, either cutting the pin off and re-drilling a hole and filling the existing hole with plastic spree or other filler's, then drilling and tapping the hole. I would have to sometimes shim the truck with washers to raise the car too t... products, articles, news
- Paint For Your Model Fighterplane
by Victor Epand. In regards to the panel lines on aircraft; most modern aircraft have very tight joints between panels and the individual panels that make up the airframe are not actually visible. We expect that our models should show this "detail" which in fact does not exist. What many people think of, as "panel line is really differences in the way that the paint fades the panel lines that will show are those ... products, articles, news
- Model Rocket Can Be Dangerous
by Victor Epand. Model rockets should never be built with materials such as PVC tubing and rocket engines should not be attached to anything that is not designed to be powered by them. This is extremely dangerous. The materials should be something that will disintegrate if it impacts something. Paper, balsawood or thin plastics.
I also don't think attaching motors to your RC truck would do much if anything, but ... products, articles, news
- The Art Of Model Boat Building
by Victor Epand. People have many hobbies; they serve as an area of stress relief. It's nice to have something to put your energy into at the end of a long day. Some people collect things, others participate in sports, while others spend their time learning new skills such as cooking. Whatever the hobby it brings people great joy and a certain sense of accomplishment that other aspects of life can't. It's the thi... products, articles, news
