| 5-3 1:57:56 | rvn2001 | Good evening. |
| 5-3 1:57:50 | rvn2001 | Hi John. |
| 5-3 1:57:41 | soccrdad30 | Good evening Thom |
| 1-3 19:07:55 | GNFan | Bye. |
| 1-3 19:07:47 | GNFan | I have a task or two to see to, so I'll take my leave as well. |
| 1-3 19:07:28 | ejshelton | ZU all |
| 1-3 19:06:58 | ejshelton | Mee too.....I still need to get breakfast.....slept so late. |
| 1-3 19:06:44 | GNFan | ZU, Thom. |
| 1-3 19:06:29 | rvn2001 | I should probably go check to see that all 6 of my trains are still running. Z y'all later. |
| 1-3 19:04:49 | ejshelton | ZU John |
| 1-3 19:04:47 | rvn2001 | Bye, John. |
| 1-3 19:04:37 | GNFan | Bye, John. |
| 1-3 19:04:36 | rvn2001 | I don't run my T scale upside down any more. |
| 1-3 19:04:33 | soccrdad30 | see you on Wednesday, hopefully with some updates |
| 1-3 19:04:19 | soccrdad30 | have a good day all! time for me to go |
| 1-3 19:01:04 | soccrdad30 |
along with safety helmuts  |
| 1-3 18:59:09 | GNFan | There's a fix for everything, I suppose. |
| 1-3 18:57:57 | soccrdad30 | Mike, not if the passengers were wearing magnetized boots |
| 1-3 18:56:50 | GNFan | If passenger- and freight- car wheels in T were also magnetized, the passengers and cargo might be upset running upside down. |
| 1-3 18:56:18 | rvn2001 | The loco can't pull more than 1 extra car with magnetized wheels. |
| 1-3 18:55:29 | soccrdad30 | strange, or I should say interesting |
| 1-3 18:55:01 | rvn2001 | Correct, John. |
| 1-3 18:54:47 | rvn2001 | Zn3 |
| 1-3 18:54:45 | soccrdad30 | Thom, so only the loco wheels are magnetized and not the rolling stock? |
| 1-3 18:54:37 | rvn2001 | There are some people using T scale chassis for Zn#. |
| 1-3 18:54:19 | ejshelton | Hi Stony |
| 1-3 18:53:54 | rvn2001 | Hi Stony. |
| 1-3 18:53:47 | GNFan | Hi, Stony. |
| 1-3 18:53:45 | rvn2001 | I ran my locomotives upside down when I first got them to prove the point at train shows. |
| 1-3 18:53:36 | soccrdad30 | Hello Stony |
| 1-3 18:53:32 | soccrdad30 | has anyone done anything with the T track mechanism for Z? |
| 1-3 18:53:27 | stonysmith | hello! |
| 1-3 18:52:58 | soccrdad30 | still very cool feature |
| 1-3 18:52:42 | soccrdad30 | okay, I knew something was |
| 1-3 18:52:10 | rvn2001 | The rails are steel. The wheels of the locos are magnetized. |
| 1-3 18:51:55 | soccrdad30 | I remember when Thomas would some times run his train at an angle |
| 1-3 18:51:21 | soccrdad30 | and the track is magnetized too? |
| 1-3 18:50:49 | soccrdad30 | I did not know that |
| 1-3 18:49:47 | rvn2001 | That's how the trucks are held onto T scale rolling stock. |
| 1-3 18:47:20 | soccrdad30 | pins |
| 1-3 18:47:17 | soccrdad30 | Nelson Gray used screws as bolster pine |
| 1-3 18:46:16 | rvn2001 | You can also distort the end of the bolster pin with a pliers. |
| 1-3 18:46:14 | GNFan | That's my fix, too, Thom. |
| 1-3 18:45:44 | rvn2001 | I glue bolster pins in if they become a frequent problem. |
| 1-3 18:45:06 | GNFan | If only bolster pins were metal.... |
| 1-3 18:45:01 | ejshelton | Another hint from watch making. My late husband was into pocket watches. |
| 1-3 18:44:33 | rvn2001 | I use a strong magnet if it's a metal piece. |
| 1-3 18:44:00 | soccrdad30 | I have not tried that Ellen |
| 1-3 18:43:44 | soccrdad30 | sometimes behind table or chair legs, or like I said, just bounced farther than expected |
| 1-3 18:43:38 | ejshelton | A vacuum with a ladies panty hose over it help...sometimes |
