It can be done..Frank Ellison suggested such a layout years ago..Frank suggested using a large yard for the "stage" and have trains to arrive from and depart to fiddle yards.He said this could be a division point where locomotives was changed and trains was reclassified and it could keep 3...

L ike that plan..Its simple,got a switch lead,run around..All needed for my planned operations. However I will need to add a interchange track because that will be the heart of the operation and *may* straighten the right side industrial tracks so I can add a small town area.. I even came...

Russ,Peco makes curve switches in N but,the curve radii is to large for that layout.I am sure he used the common "train set" style 9-3/4" radius curve. I may have to go up to a 2x5' (maximum my storage space will allow)and use that layout as a base design which may be the better of the 2 evils.

Russ,First it is indeed N Scale..I wish I could add to the width..This morning I remeasure my storage area and *might* able to use a 2x5 footer.I could then extend the run around track and add a switch lead for the yard..I would need too rearrange all the industrial tracks though however,I like...

riverotter,No..I plan on keeping the switch off the main line and adding another on the far in so I can have a run around/interchange track.That upper run around track bothers me as well..I would like it a tad longer. Herc,As of now my thoughts is on a one horse short line.A local fuel...

Guys,I am thinking about building this 2x4 foot layout since I can easily set it up and take it down.I gotta find something to keep me occupied. However I plan on making some changes. 1.Eliminate the bottom crossover crossover and both switches since they have no real reason to...

First such thing happens to all manufacturers. Second send both units back to Bachmann and they will R/R the units. I know that feeling of being irritated.I bought 2 Atlas N Scale RS1s in C&O and one would not run..I checked the locomotive and found one end of the contact strip was not...

I have 12 DCC equipped locomotives in Chessie(C&O)(5) and C&O(7) that I will be using at one club since we went DCC.As of now I don't plan on adding any more decoders to my HO locomotives. I *might* be selling some of my excess HO cars...

Depends..Some of the newer Atlas engines comes with sunshades,hood mounted bells and horns that stick up just like the prototype.So care must be taken with these units as well. However,I am yet to break a handrail while installing MT couplers because the handrails are more flexable.. .

Food for thought-The Dark Side.:eek: While you will not hear this song sung to many times there is a dark side to HO. You see HO is slowly becoming to fragile to handle thanks to the small detail parts and spaghetti thin scale handrails that break at a sneeze..I have broken off small detail...
