    Cheapest place to buy track

    I was looking at track prices at a few of the local hobby shops and in the walthers catelog and I released that I would need to buy a few hundred dollars worth of track for my layout and wanted to know where the cheapest place to buy track is. I would prefer that it would be an online site...

    Favorite N Scale Manufacturer

    I would have to say Atlas since Kato does not have any Wisconsin Central locomotives.

    Preconfigured Track Plans

    My dad decided that he wanted to keep his layout so now I am left with the locomotives and boxcar that I bought. I would like to build my own layout and I am wondering what a few good sites are that have preconfigured track plans. I would like to find a nice base layout and then perhaps modify...

    I finally decided what road to run

    Here are some pictures of what I picked up I still don't have any pictures of the layout because I have yet to get it moved to my mom's house. To answer your question steamer, the layout is about 7ft x 3ft (that is a rough estimate).

    I finally decided what road to run

    Well after a lot of thought about what road to run I finally decided to run Wisconsin Central. Wisconsin Central (now owned by CP or CN. cant't remember) has a yard and intermodel terminal in town and it will be easy for me to get the car layout correct if I ever decide to go that far. Last...

    It's MONDAY, weekend accomplishments!

    I went to the local hobby store which has only 1 small section of the store for model railroading and an only a small percent of it is N scale stuff. I did manage to pick up a box car, a loco, and a container for 35 bucks however. I will post more details later as I have a chance to. I also got...

    New to model railroading

    I have yet to decide what railroad I am going to run. I am thinking about either running Wisconsin Central, Union Pacific, or Santa Fe. I will most likely end up running Santa Fe as most of the stuff my dad already had was Santa Fe. Also how do the newer coupler systems work? The couplers on...

    New to model railroading

    Well I was helping my dad clean out the garage today as we are moving fairly soon and I found an old N scale layout of his. At first I thought nothing of it but as I was working the layout started to gain more and more of my attention. It is missing pieces of track but otherwise it is in...
