    Would Like Input

    Has anyone read any reviews on the new Precision Craft model engines with sound? Who is the parent company? How did they get started? If they run and preform the way they seem to be set up, it would seem that they will be very good locos. They are pretty pricey! Thanks for anyone's input.

    Whats your opinion.

    brakie: That is a very good rework of the original plan. That alleviates a lot of issues that were inherent in the beginning. I usually take a 180 different approach to modeling. I usually decide on what I want to do with the scenery and create a track plan from what I want to with the scenery.

    Bachmann's Centennial N-scale Set

    Siderod: I own a Spectrum 2-8-0 and a Spectrum F7 A&B. Both N scale units are very good runners, especially the 2-8-0. It is a very smooth. Either one will pull 9 cars up the 3 inch grade over the 3 foot layout that I made. The 2-8-0 will do this all day long. The Bachman products except...

    A very general/specific question

    I have built 4 layouts [0-27 and 1 N scale]. I start with a theme or a idea, then take a blank sheet or sheets of foam, decide how to incorporate tack into my idea, then draw it out on the foam, and then build the layout around the track drawing. I don't lay the track until everything else is...
