    CODE 100 or CODE 83 TRACK

    Just a minor thought, I have used code 100 on my layouts because thats how i started years ago and most of the track has migrated from layout to layout. I have found that balasted and painted it does not look too bad. Back to the thought, I use KD magnets for all my switching because the delay...

    Finally got DCC now i need a lil help...

    Hi Ron, I am an Australian so that makes me a knuckle head to start off with, but i did have a problem with my layout which looks similar to your diagram. I started from the front of the layout board (say in your section A) and connected the "front" rail of each track to one bus and the rear...

    An Odd Occurance

    Being as cheeky as jessy the elephant, this is what I would do in your place. Grab your voltmeter, go down to your hobby shop, ask them to demonstrate any HO train running. All scales use the same DC convention(which I have of course forgoten, I have DCC at home) but I think it is LH rail +...

    An Odd Occurance

    Hi Cannonball, I dont model N scale but was foolish enough to fix an N scale Loco for a friend once. it had pickup problems which were easy enough to sort, but when i re assembled the Loco I put the motor in upside down ( not being clever enough to mark it before i ripped it out0. It ran very...
