    Advice... Again...

    Yep, I think that's what I'll do. I'm just going to start with easy stuff like rearranging a building or something, painting it, weathering it, etc.

    Advice... Again...

    Meh... I'm thinking that I might just do like... little scenes for now and then maybe add them onto a larger layout when I get some money. I'm not really sure right now...

    Advice... Again...

    Pookums... So, now I'm actually starting to get serious about the train stuff. (Again.) I've decided that I'm only going to have one or two locomotives and all the rest will be buildings, scenery, etc. The trains just cost quite a bit too much for a twelve year-old. I was at my friend Nick's...

    Making Vehicles Move

    I have developed a system to make vehicles move. What you would do is, put track beneath your roads. If you have multiple lanes, put track right beside each other. Then make slits through your base and one lane of your road. The slit would have to stay right in the middle of the lane. Then...

    I Now Have Money!!!

    We're going to the HS today! I've decided that I might not focus on trains. I might have one or two, but mostly I'm going to focus on scenery.

    I Now Have Money!!!

    Well, on Monday, we are going to the Train Shop on Monday. I've found a guy at school who has model trains. He says the one that we are going to has really good quality for a really low price. He found an Athearn loco for $45. One of the good ones... ~Midnight

    Ghost Train

    OK, so what do you do? Are you a Sherlock kinda guy? That would be a cool job. Anyway, that sounds weird. Just be glad the loco didn't hit you any harder or you might not have told us this. ~Midnight

    I Now Have Money!!!

    Well, Gasser, it turns out that I'm not going to be using that. In the summer, it gets to be up to 115 degrees in there. Everything would begin to melt. :\ That wouldn't be good. ~Midnight

    I Now Have Money!!!

    Herb; I would. If I wasn't twelve years old. :\ Tom; But if I do get the loco I won't have any money to buy anything else with. You said Athearn made beginner locomotives? I'll go look. Can't find'em. Link? Also, been looking on eBay and found some pretty cheap ones just wanting to check and...

    I Now Have Money!!!

    About how much would that loco cost? WHOA! $134 for the blue one. Never mind about that one. Unless one of you would like to mail me a loco to use. :D Yeah, didn't think so. OK, most of the locos would use up most of my money. Do you think I should build my layout first then get a loco or vice...

    I Now Have Money!!!

    For the Amazon store, is the Woodland Scenics stuff any good? What about the accents like houses, buildings, people, and stuff? Also, do prebuilt layouts come already or with the parts? BTW, this is the loco I'm probably going to get. Sorry, if I'm bothering you with my uber ignorance... ~Midnight

    Thank you... very informative! I have another question. What is a LokSound? I saw it in someone's signature. I've been seeing these things called Snap Kits. Are they any good? ~Midnight

    I Now Have Money!!!

    Well, right now, I have $128.97 and we are ordering an MRR book from Amazon. Before we do, though, I would maybe like some of you to check it and this MRR store that I found on Amazon. Books Basic Model Railroading: Getting Started in the Hobby Basic Scenery for Model Railroaders Store Train...

    Beginning

    I didn't really get that. I have now decided that instead of asking for trains I'll just ask for some money and then buy them myself. What do you think?
