    Good steam engines

    PRR coaches can be found by Rapido Trains, they are not out yet...but man they should be the best passenger cars available once released! The only Mikado worth mentioning is made by Kato. Con-Cor makes a PRR Northern styled loco, and a PRR badged Santa-Fe 2-10-2. The Santa Fe requires quite...

    Thoughts on N scale Bachmann Steam Engines

    I own quite a lot of n-scale steam... and so far my fav runners are actually Bachmanns! My Consolidation 2-8-0 is a fantastic running loco and pulls like crazy!

    n scale steam kitbashing - canadian locos

    christmas plans foiled!
