    question about "N" gauge in general

    I started with HO starter set but eventually chose N scale because of space issue. N scale is slightly cheaper compared to HO scale, but not by too much. I live very far from USA so shipping for N scale is wayyyyyy cheaper compared to HO scale.

    Expanding on Bachmann E-Z Command

    If cost is an issue, MRC Prodigy Express should suit you. The are going for about $99 only Ebay. They can program decoders unlike Bachmann EZ Command. Might seem unnecessary now but it will come handy the moment you get your first decoder, hehe.

    MRC Prodigy Express Questions...

    I went ahead and bought the Prodigy Express because it was 100 dollars less than PA2. The only drawback which i think will affect me is the read back CV function. I guess i have to get a notebook and write down every single changes i do to CV.

    4% Gradient, overkill?

    Yeah true, i remember even my cheapo Life0Like GP38 was able to pull around 10 cars up 2% gradient. What is 5 coaches with a Kato some more.

    4% Gradient, overkill?

    Thanks the tips. I guess i will get the inclines from WS first and do some testing. Since my intention is to use 19 inch curves and max of 5 coaches pulled by one loco. The incline will be straight till it reaches the end where it will take a 19 inch curve.

    4% Gradient, overkill?

    I was discussing with a friend recently about adding a 4% gradient on my layout. He said 4% is too much, infact even 2%. It takes atleast 4 locos to climb that gradient, but he didn't mention the load. My plan was for a passenger line only, with around 4-5 coaches using Kato's P42 or even...

    MRC Sound Decoder for Kato SD80

    Got another reply from MRC: Well, fair enough, i am not perfect myself. Looks like it is possible to install the sound decoder in SD90. Has anyone got SD80 and SD90? Is space inside on the end similar for both?
