    Looking for MS100 diagram

    I'm trying to make a stand-in MS100 because each and every one I've gotten from Digitrax has come with some sort of defect (or the time when they forgot to send the MS100 and only sent the LocoNet cable...). Could someone please tell me how to create my own? Thanks!

    My newest train for my layout!

    I am in a SERIOUSLY good mood today! Check out what I won on ebay: Great Northern Empire Builder set - F3 A-B and a bunch of IHC Empire Builder coaches! I am seriously happy now. I'm also currently bidding on a Rivarossi dome car and a UP DD40 engine, among other things.

    My old train!

    I dunno, I was a bit bored, and it's late at night, so I made this: YouTube link sign1sign1sign1sign1sign1 Taken with a basic digital camera, hence no sound. No editing either.

    Question about an old-style Rivarossi Big Boy

    Would it be a good idea to have it remotored with a separate motor for each set of drive wheels? Added power vs. added weight... Tell me what you think!

    The Atlas RightTrack system

    I was wondering if anyone knew where I might be able to get a Walther's track library for the Atlas RightTrack V7.0 program. If it doesn't exist, does anyone here know how to make one? Thanx!
