I bought 3 sets of them and i agree they can be a pain to put together but once you do it a couple of times it bcomes easy. But in the mean time i also broke a peg. I'll be buying the BNSF versions next. Just wish they would mix up the names on the containers for some variety. Dave

What do you guys think i can do in an area that is L shaped of 12x 4x 30" wide. I'm not very good in designing layouts so i need some ideas. I would like to have nice 4 or 5 track yard with a 2 track main. If i could fit the Walthers turntable in somewere that would be great. Any ideas?:wave...

I have decided to use the Atlas C55 track, what does powering the frog do for operation besides powering the frog to prevent hiccups of some locomotives? Thanks, Dave:) :)

Does any mfg. or builder out there make a container crane in either kit form or built up, i'm looking for something that you would find on the west coast docks. Of course it must be N scale. Thanks, Daveannounce1 announce1 announce1 :wave: :wave:

I just received my 3 packs of Kato TTX stack cars and are they nice!! Easy to assemble and they look good, for you guys into modern intermodal railroading you really have to look into these cars. Nice job Kato. Now looking for the BNSF version. Dave:thumb: :thumb:

What does everybody think of the Kato double stack cars, i'm thinking of getting some. They do look great in the pics. Any reviews out there? Dave:wave: :thumb:

How about some SD70ace, i'll take some in the heritage schemes of the UP and some others. How about you? Dave:thumb: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: announce1 announce1 announce1

Even though i was into O scale, i just couldn't do it justice is the space i had (26x13), that size is huge for N scale but small for O. now i'll be in a smaller home but yet will be that much better because of N scale. I had N scale many years ago when basically nothing would run with out...

beraff, LOL is shorthand for laughing out loud. Dave

Cannonball, I'll be moving to a condo later this year and N scale seems to be the only way to go, my O scale trains are being sold as i type. I have checked out some track systems and unitrack seems to be the best choice for me. I also agree that Atlas, Kato and Athearn are the only engines i...

I picked up some Kato unitrack today and by what i see and ease of putting it together seem's to be the product for me. I also picked up the RIX ramp---boy does that make it easy to put cars and engines on the track. Also picked up some of the new 11,000 and 17,000 tank cars from Atlas. Very...

The Athearn diesel engines seem to run louder then the Atlas, should all N scale engines be lubricated before running? Or will break in time quiet them down. This may be a simple question but i'm a newbie to N scale so please bear with me. Thaks, Dave

I'm 60 and will be building a new N scale layout in our new condo, i'll have more time now instead of maint. on the house, mowing grass, etc. Besides a 4000 sq. ft. house is just too big at this time in my life. I also downsized my trains from O to N, most people my age the trains get bigger not...

What does everybody think of the Kato unitrack system in N scale? Is this a viable track to use on a permenant layout? Thanks, Dave

What track and size do most of the forum members use? I really like the look of Atlas C55 and peco C55. Any rports pro or con about C55. Thanks, Dave

Anybody have the new Athearn SD70M's? I ordered 3 of the UP flag units w/flared rads. Although they look great in pics i was wondering about details, how the run, etc. Thanks, Dave
