Oct 23, 2010 13 Replies

I understand that in the Model Railroad-ing magazine in the 1980s had drawings etc of the NASA segment cars.



Can somewone help with the issue that it was in and a scan of article. Model Railroading not easy to find downunder here in NZ.



Thanks


Charlie


Do not have the magazine but I did a Google search.

Model Railroader also sells back issues.

But scanning the article and sharing the file would be stealing copyrighted material.

But the O.P. said the article was in Model Railroad/ing/.

How do you keep the trains on the track being downunder?

And you can still buy back issues Here:

Less expensive than Model Railroad/er/ at $4.40 for one and $3.41 each for twelve.

No relation and other standard disclaimers.

Upsidasium instead of body weights.

Whoops, you're right! I mis-read it.

I've heard flubber works equally well.

It is a problem. I can get the train upside down ok but I cannot get it to move because of all the glue.

I still need the reference for the Model RailroadingING article. Have tried Higland Station etc. No luck.

They boil the brains of blokes like you to get that sticky stuff they paint on the tracks.

There was an article on upside down trains in an April issue of Model Railroader some years ago.

Here's a fellow who got it to work.
