Seems like many N-scale manufacturers are releasing locomotives with their own coupler choices. Is this an issue? Are they all compatible with Micro-Trains? Are they easily converted to Micro-Trains? I get the idea that accumates will work with Micro-Trains, but how about Kato?

Don't forget to use acid free flux. That's highly desirable, if not imperative. Otherwise the joints might eventually corrode.

Hey Scott, Thanks, after all these years, I don't know why I've never picked up on that!

I don't think so. Tileguy implied that insulfrogs would work on Clark's yard, because there would not be a lot of low speed motive power in that style of yard. Parking locomotives on insulfrogs can be a frustrating experience, so heavy switching areas need constant contact with juice. That's...

Hi Clark, Is there a link here? Otherwise, I'm not sure what you mean with the colors. Also, I'm not sure with the meaning of A/D. Ooops! Spoke too soon. The plans are there now! Thanks!

It's called solder. Don't know if you can file solder down, but you might be able to fill the joint with solder.

Thanks guys, My first go at it was with Atlas no. 6 turnouts (snap track) and truck mounted couplers, both rapido couplers and Micro-Trains. I would have expected body mounted couplers to be more problematic, since they swing away from the track's center line to a greater degree. Wouldn't this...

I am having a problems designing a ladder yard. When starting with a turnout off the main line, say a lefthand turnout, all the others beg to be righthand. This seems to me to create a nasty reverse curve. One that you can pull cars through, but not push them through. Where can I get some...
