Hmmm, someone else is experiencing the small print issue. Good thing to finally see it in someone else's post, I thought I was going mad.

Not really - that was intentional (a small-print disclaimer, or explanation, of the statement proceeding it).  I do that from time to time.
But I have not seen the problem in your posts lately.  I also don't think that you're  mad (but I can't say the same about your computing equipment).

In my day, I inspired David Lynch...





False claim.

Is that a thing or a jig so it fits on a thing when soldered up ? What is the thing ?

I think the photo orientation is wrong.  These look to me like 2 back ends of 3D printed streamlined  tender shells with hardware metal detail parts attached (photographed sideways).
But it took me a while to get to that conclusion, and I still could be wrong.

The "thing" is an electrical conduit and junction box for the marker lights.
If that's the thing your thinking.

It's probably this thing: http://www.keystonedetails.com/products/n-scale-details/2017/6/1/prr-3768-loewey-streamlined-k4-kit-for-bachmann-chassis

Yeah. I'm pretty salty about the photo orientation and there being no fix for it (I'm blaming Apple).
It's the back of the streamlined K4 tender. I love how the first one I did (the top one) came out better than the second.

Hey Josh, if you uploaded those pictures to TRW, you could rotate them until the orientation was correct.

Thanks for the info . One good turn deserves another .

Nice, thanks for that!

Getting the old modeling hand together working on a diorama and some car weathering.

Export them as JPG's from iPhoto, then use the JPG's when posting to TRW. That's what I have to do to get the orientation correct.

I didn't play Gyruss when I was a kid, and I didn't even know of it, until I got this machine. Now that I have it, and have been playing it, It's probably my favorite space shooter now. It's so much fun! Matter of fact, I was planning on selling Gyruss after I got it working. The only reason I got it, was because it was a package deal with the Ms. Pacman. It aint going anywhere now.

I also have a Nintendo DualSystem in the garage I am restoring. It's Vs. SMB on one side, and Vs. Excitebike on the other....

I'd love to have a Pinball, but I dont have the room.

I'm a big fan of Gyruss. Loved that game.
If I could own an arcade machine I think I would go for TMNT2 first. It's pretty nostalgic for me.
I'd also have to have a pinball table.
