Hi guys, i have a question and hope someone can help me out. I have a Kato F40PH which i will be adding a Digitrax decoder very soon. I was told by the seller that it has 6 functions and i need this decoder if i want to add flashing ditch lights. How can i do that? I am totally clueless about...

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...

A very rough plan. My main concern is to know if it is realistic? Our aim is reduce the amount of turnouts being used to cut cost. That's why we decided to use the turntable. Smallest Mainline Radius : 24" Largest Mainline Radius : 26" Industries : 2 (Cement and Intermodal terminal) Stations ...

I was going through MRC's website and found this: MRC - DC POWER Series - N DROP-IN: KATO SD80, Item: 0001808, TRAIN CONTROLS/DC POWER Very interesting for me but just wondering, can i fit it in my SD90/43MAC? I would be surprised if this sound decoder was designed specifically for SD80. :oops:

Bought a HO Kato SD90/43MAC a couple of weeks ago. It's brand new so the details are not glued it. I was admiring it for a couple of minutes and noticed that if i have installed the details, i wont be able to store in the original box with foam anymore. Is this some kinda design flaw with the...

Just wondering, which sound decoder is installed in the stock sound equipped Kato F40PHI for HO scale? I am thinking of buying the loco without the sound, then later add on when i have the cash. Lemme know. Thanks in advance. :mrgreen:

They got alot of stuffs which cannot be found anywhere else like many N locomotives in NS livery. Unfortunately they dont ship to foreign address. I find this quite weird because most online stores have started shipping to foreign addresses. If i remember well, even MB Klein didnt accept orders...

Hey guys, need some info on the Prodigy Express. I am thinking of getting one because it seems to be the most affordable with alot of features in it. They are going for USD110 on Ebay and it's even cheaper than NCE Power Cab. I have a few question regarding Prodigy Express and hope someone would...

I am really losing patience here. I placed an order for 100 pieces of Model Power HO scale flex tracks on 11th of January, last month. They even charged my debit card on that day. The problem now is that i have been waiting for almost 2 months and i am not sure what is the status because they...

I just came across this product by MRC. I dont understand how it works. Is it connected straight to DC power or it must be connected to another decoder? From videos at Youtube, it sounds pretty good to me. Thanks!

I have been looking around and found many diesel which are sound equipped priced below USD150. Especially the new Blueline models have made it cheaper to own sound equipped locomotives. Just wondering, which is the cheapest sound equipped steam locomotive? Been wanting to get one but all of them...

I noticed there is no light rail trains in N scale. Planning my N scale layout and wanted to add a light rail system in my city but just cant find anything suitable. I am talking about modern LRV, LRT, MRT, Trolley and monorail. Afaik, the only ones available are the European Desiro train sets...

I am having a problem with RTS. I finally manage to learn how to use it but now stuck with the flex track part. As you can see from the screen shot, the icon for Flex track and to form it cannot be selected. Am i doing something wrong? Thanks in advance! :)

I was planning for my future N scale by-the-wall layout. Since there is limited space, i am trying to fit two industries into one space. So i came up with this. There is a problem, if the station is sandwiched between the industries, how are the passengers gonna cross over to their town? Is...

I have been looking around for undecorated F40PH locomotive. The only one i have came across was Bachmann's Spectrum ones but even those were on Ebay, which are the older run. I prefer to buy from an online store. Does Kato have undecorated F40PH? I would go with Kato anyday. My intention is...
