Hi folks - I'm usually an N-Scale (and 16mm Garden) railroader, but want to help a friend who wishes to start in HO for his boys and himself! I'm used to good deals in N from N-scale supply and Wig-Wag, and there's no good hobby shop for miles around. Anyone recommend a reliable online site...

At its opening in May 1898, the legendary narrow-gauge Lynton & Barnstaple Railway in North Devon was equipped with three Manning Wardle 2-6-2 tank engines. Two months later they were joined by a Baldwin 2-4-2 and all four locomotives were named after three-letter Devon rivers. The Baldwin was...

Hi folks - I'm posting on behalf of a preservation group in the UK who wishes to lay part of their line to 3' gauge. They are very keen to buy any 3' rolling stock that might be available: 1. Preferably a steam loco in working order or near working order; and/or a diesel 2. Passenger cars 3...

It seems the long-awaited AC12 from IM has now been announced for the end of 2008. There will be a version with the tender lettered 'Southern Pacific' and one with a non-lettered tender. Can anyone tell me what the respective eras are for the lettered and non-lettered versions? I can't find much...

Has anyone thoughts on coach lining in HO/00 scale? I've been advised to consider a simpler non-lined livery for a 1:76 scale (00) Great Western Railway steam railmotor as, when you reduce to 00 scale, lining has to be much thicker than scale in order to be visible, and thus overscale and...

I realize that this might be better on the DCC forum - but as it's specifically N-related, I thought I'd put it here! I see Prodigy/MRC advertize their N-sized sound decoders - are there others out there? Digitrax's website seems only to show HO scale ones? Anyone with experience of these sound...

Has anyone dealt with the kit-building and painting services of Classic Trains Plus? They are at Prescott Valley Arizona. A VERY long time ago I commissioned a kit build and paint from them, and whenever I ask about progress get fobbed of with claims that it's nearly ready, and about to be sent...

Has anyone tried modeling broad gauge in N? There are a range of possibles: 5'3", 5'6", 7'0.25" etc. The last of these (e.g. Brunel's 7 foot broad gauge in England) would look most impressive...! sign1

Hi -:wave: do y'all think $100.00 a good price for a Kato built Con Cor U-50, second hand? Noted as good condition, good runner, some signs of wear. It's old enough to be sporting rapido couplers which'll have to be changed, of course! In SP scarlet and gray. :thumb:

Does anyone know if the Cotton Belt ran FTs (black widow era) in combination, and if so whether this was ABBA or ABAB, or both? Thanks!:wave: :thumb:

I've got two AB sets of the Intermountain FT in Cotton Belt black widow livery, and very nice they are too! I want to run them in combination, but would like to know whether: 1) The Cotton Belt ran them in combination; 2) If they did, was this as ABAB, or ABBA, or both? Any help gratefully...

Hi - :wave: Has anyone received the N Scale Galloping Goose from Con Cor? As the prototype was only narrow gauge, I was wondering whether the wheel set-ups would allow a conversion to Nn3? From the photos it looks as if the trailer wheels could be narrowed, but it's not clear whether that's...

I've been looking at some RC planes websites (just looking, honest:D ), and while they talk of scale and non-scale models, large, small, mini and micro sized models, they never say what scales they're talking about. Does anyone know whether planes/helicopters etc come in any of our scales (O...

Intermountain have told me by email that they have had several queries about whether they will produce an N scale companion to their HO SP Cab Forward. They've also said on a previous occasion that producing N versions of HO locos is something they usually consider.:D Now, if all N scale...

Has anyone had experience of having track plans drawn up by professional track planners? If so, was it a good experience, would they recommend it, and was it very expensive? Any specific companies recommended?

announce1 Some of you good folk may already know of the UK-based society of volunteers who, over the last 10 years or so, have raised around one million sterling to build from scratch a Peppercorn A1 Pacific steam loco. These standard gauge locos were originally built in 1948/9 for British...

I remember reading about this topic years ago in one of the railway magazines, and wonder if any gauge members have tried to do it. The premise is that one takes a special year and day (e.g your birthday, or wedding day etc) and a special place (where you got married, your favorite railfanning...

announce1 Does anyone know whether an SDP45 (i.e. the passenger version) has ever been produced? I'd like one to pull my SP bilevel passenger cars in sold gray livery! :D :wave:

I've followed some of the discussions on which DCC system is best/preferred on the DCC forum. I'm currently operating DC in N Scale, and wonder whether N Scale forum members have any suggestions for preferred DCC systems/non-preferred systems in this scale? (I got no reply on the DCC forum -...
