    Lego Trains

    Anybody into Lego Trains? I've seen them before, and it sounds like a god idea. You know, buy a kit, make your own train, or make any train that you desire to make! That's all I know. Is it worth getting into?

    Model Train Ferry

    While riding my bike earlier today, I came up with the greatest idea. I figured out a way to make a model train ferry! What you would need to do is build a ferry (a boat) around a train engine (trust me on this, I'm not crazy!) Then, under the water level, build track for that scale, so the...

    Third Rail

    No, I'm not confused about what area of the site to place this under. I've been looking around, and I found a few pictures in a Model Railroader that showed the track having 3 rails. Also, when I went to Travel Town (Local Train Museum), they have one strip of track for the cars that has the...

    I need an idea!

    O.k. I was finally looking over what track pieces I have, and I came up with this. It's a 4x8 with a small yard. I will be running a small train from maybe 3-8 cars. What should I build for the scenery?

    Free Trains

    I've been wondering. Does anybody want to give any free stuff for an HO layout? I mean, I've heard the stories of these nice people giving newbies free equipment and a little track, and I wish that would happen to me. Soooo... anybody want to mail me anything, except for an envelope full of...

    Kitchen Layout

    An idea struck me earlier today. Have like either a G scale or O scale train on your kitchen floor, or any hardwood floor. The thing is, the track would be built into the floor like a trolly track in the city streets, so the vacuum can go over it easily, and you don't trip on it! Isn't that awesome?

    What kind of Engines?

    I got these when I was younger, and I have no idea of what kind these are. They are both Bachmann, if that helps.

    Flex Track Problem

    I've been turned off of flex track for a while now. The main reason is that when ever I use it, some ties from the end (about 3-4) come off and it looks more tacky than regular track:curse:. I've been wanting to get over my "fear" of flex track for a while, but I just feel scared of it. Another...

    New to HO & What Engine!?!

    O.K. For the past two years, I've been trying to get an N scale layout set up in my room. I just haven't had enough time or money. I'm only 16, and it's hard to do stiff like this when you have school, a job, and a car to pay for. A couple days ago, I found some used Atlas and Bachmann Code 100...
