I have a model power mikado and one of the wires on the tender had pulled off. I re-soldered it but it is still not getting any power from the tender. Also is there a connector that I can put on the wires so if they get tugged on the connector comes out instead of the wire pulling off.

I have been having problems recently with the electrical on my layout. I am barley getting any power. It is not dirty track or wheels. Any ideas?

I caught apart of this show featuring all sorts of trains. One that caught my eye was this train that takes turists to and across victoria falls. The track is extreamly lite weight so the loco has to have more wheels to spread out the weight. These pics were captured from the video so they...

I just found this new program from google. It is called google desktop serch. It makes finding files lightning fast. It is great for finding certain pictures. It shows thumnails too. It is faster to find pictures useing this than it would be navigating the typical tree structure. Works and...

I decided to use some fake fur to model long grass. All I could find was white black and an extreamly darkk brown. So I got the white. My mom suggested dieing it with tea. That did not work. What else could I use to die it. Would stain seems to be too dark.

Does anyone make n scale bufflo? How about indians

I am starting a new small lima bean shaped layout that folds up into a breif case. I wanted to build a layout for my three little cousins. I wanted to at least bring it to them, they live in kansas. The idea came from an old thomas train thing i once had that folded up. It will be a prarie...

Until recently all my rolling stock has has rapido couples. They have always worked fine, but they look horrible (as you all know). So I decided to get a set of cars with micro trains knuckel couplers. I can't get the train 6 inches. I spent 45 min trying to get the train to get threw a 1...

Does any one think it is possible to modify one of these to have a front coupler.

today I was trying to run about 13 cars. Four of the cars are knuckel couplers, shorter passenger cars. Two are transition cars the rest are rapido. I was trying to see how many cars my mikado could pull but the fourth car with knuckel couplers keep uncoupling. At first I thought because it...

is it a comon practice to use b units that differ from the a unit. Do the always use an F7 B unit with an F7 A unit?

Through a link posted by triplex i found a site with locomotives from alaskan rails. Everyday I see this F7b unit that showed up a month or two ago. sure enough they had the history and photo of it

I saw some old pictures the other day of the first train to go threw the royale gorge and a couple from a later date. The picture that i really like was of 3 4-4-0 that were pulling a stagering 6 cars. On train was in front one was in the middel and one was at the end. I have seen some locos...

I have a trolley going around in the middel of the town in my HO layout and I am currently starting over on the roads. I am using joint compound for the roads and it is working well. My question is how do i do the turnouts. I aim for the roads/track to be like sanfransico and it's cabelcars...
