Thanks Cody.

This is actually more of an ask MRVP question ,,,, when is it returning? The wheel sets on my Bachman northeast corridor passenger cars are not rolling as easily as they should be. How do I correct this . Perhaps a good modelers tip after the products and before viewer mail. I’m sure others are having the same issues with wheel sets
Thanks

Hey Cody!
Great show as usual. It was good to see David Popp again. When will the new N scale MR&T based project railroad be having information coming out? Will there be a video series on the layout’s construction?
On a related note, has MR ever considered releasing the construction videos on the project layouts as a DVD or online download?
Keep ’em rolling!

A question for Cody. I am ready to clean my N scale track (Peco turnouts and Peco flex track) using mineral spirits on a rag. This method was recommended by several people. After I clean the track, I will use No-OX as a final treatment to railheads. No-OX has worked well for me before. I have always used 91% AL for the cleaning step so trying mineral spirits is new. My question is does mineral spirits harm the track, ties, and road bed ? Also, does using mineral spirits to clean the track cause problems later with plastic wheel sets. I have 400+ N scale cars with plastic wheels so I don’t want a mess! Any thoughts would be great. Tom Berry
N scale Stateline Route !? David is already running the first train on it and I haven’t seen a single video on it yet. As a N scale modeler, I’d really like to see some videos on this project layout.
Hi Cody! I want to echo that I have been anxiously awaiting further videos in the Olympia and Sand Creek series. So glad to see David Popp (on screen) and to learn that Sand Creek might happen this fall. I model in HO, but the Olympia series is by far my favorite project series.
As an On30 modeler, I’m REALLY looking forward to the return of the Olympia and Sand Creek series! The fall cannot get here fast enough.
Are there going to be anymore videos on Rehab My Railroad? Also when will Ask MRVP start again?
I’m a little frustrated. I have paid for a year of the new site. Except for Cody’s Office once in a while, a catchup on Track Planning by Gerry Leone the other things I want to see have not been update since the new site has started. Like Rehab My Railroad and Ask MRVP
My experience is the same, P.J. I’ve tried to be patient for several months, but I’m starting to feel ripped off.
