    How to convert LL F40 and GP38 to Microtrains ?

    Herc Driver, Cutting the coupler away worked well. But drilling in the locomotive body, thats another thing. I think I'll glue the couplers like umtrr suggested, but unfortiunatly when I grabbed my "super glue" it looked to be dryed out, get another one friday. I'm not running long trains...

    Unitrack on plywood, how about noise ?

    I wonder,:confused: I like the cookie cutter method that can easely be acheived with plywood, but do I need something underneath the Unitrack to minimize the noise produced by running trains ? Thanks, Paul

    Unitrack Layouts

    Dick, this is indeed N-scale and both plans have eased curves. Cannonball the second plan is the reworked Granite Gorge and Northern. A better version of plan 1 without fooling the main when switching the yard Paul
