You are off to a good start. I agree that your second plan is too crowded. It geometrically impossible for N scale's minimum radius of 8 3/4". You really want a mininum radius of 12" in N scale. If you plan to run full length passenger coaches, you want a mininum radius of 16" If I were you, I...

Internet trains advertises some good Z scale stuff. Micro Trains makes good Z scale rolling stock and track along with F7 diesels and a GP-35 that are more correct to American prototype than Marklin in my opinion. N scale Architect manufactures Z scale structures and semi semi trucks. This is...

Does the cable for your controller have a flat plug on the end? If that's the case, the plug is designed to fit a Bachmann EZ track terminal section. If you are using any other track, you will have to cut off the plug, and connect the two wires so they each feed each of the two rails. If you...

You should be able to get one for $100 to $120 discount. They are DCC ready. The sets do not include a power pack.

They are the same F-3 as their seperate sale model. The starter set is a good deal. The price is about what you'd expect to pay for the track and engine alone. The cars are a freebie. You won't be dissapointed.

This eavning I got around to setting up my temporary table top layout. A 36" x 80" hollow core door and a grassmat for scenery. Kato Unitrack is the kicks. I clicked together a K-1 oval pack and K-2 switch pack. The test train ran flawlessly on the first lap. There is nearly 100% continuity...

I am relatively new to N scale and of the engines I own: ;) Kato heavy mikado: Smooth and whisper quiet. Decent puller. Detail doesn't look as good as Bachman and Lifelike's latest premium releases. :thumb: Atlas SD-24: Smooth, good puller, but slight gear noise. Crisp detail and graphics...

I am using Kato Unitrack on a table top layout. It is realistic but the ballast base is a little high. Otherwise, it is very reliable track and easy to assemble. It is really a plug and play system. Unitrack is difficult when it comes to transition curves and cutting special pieces. Switches are...

My first N scale engine was a Lifelike SW-8 switcher that came in a Yardmaster starter set. It is one of my favorite engines. It is smooth running, the graphics are crisp, and so are the details. I think they can be found for around $30. Mine will pull around 7 older cars or 11 newer free...
