I do not like the red. It is a major bad to have ted and black or yellow and white. It messes with ones eye. I think this green would work

I am starting a new small lima bean shaped layout that folds up into a breif case. I wanted to build a layout for my three little cousins. I wanted to at least bring it to them, they live in kansas. The idea came from an old thomas train thing i once had that folded up. It will be a prarie...

Are you in a Drafting class. That gives a big head start in civil engineering. I actualy Get a certified draftsman certificite as apart of our progrram.

It depends where they are going. Rock outcroppings that will be surrounded by vegitation it might be easyer to pre-stain. A big rock face you diffenently want to stain after instalation because there will be extra plaster added to smooth joints over. And just a tip I have found that...

Thomas is what go me into trains. I was extra Lucky. My dad was working for Ertl( the company that made all the die cast thomas models) up until it was sold to another company. So I got losts of thomas

Added more videos. Same links. One is of both The EMD and my Mikado with the 36 ft passenger cars. The third video was just for fun. It looks like some vintage video clip, it is surprising how well the effect worked. I also added some pictures and some other clips on the vintage video

36 foot althern overton. they might be too light, i don't have access to a scale. truck mounted, and I was wrong about the micro trains. For some reason I thought they were but they are not. I have micro trains on my transition cars and they are different. They are not intermountain. But the...

Thanks serious sam and shaygetz. I think I will go ahead and get one to start with. It sounds like it will pull my passenger cars. If I can modify the front when I get one I will post and update. The reason being for this, by the way, is I saw a picture from the 1880s with three of those...

Until recently all my rolling stock has has rapido couples. They have always worked fine, but they look horrible (as you all know). So I decided to get a set of cars with micro trains knuckel couplers. I can't get the train 6 inches. I spent 45 min trying to get the train to get threw a 1...

That was weird, it didn't post / froze up. I am sure it will show up tommorow that makes total sense. I had no idea the motor was inside the tender. How many cars can it ull? I was sceptical before put now I am kinda doubtful. It has to have some traction problems

Another question. What is sticking out of the tender/the big hole. Would you recomend this loco, all I want it to pull are a few very small old time passenger cars.

Does any one think it is possible to modify one of these to have a front coupler.

I got the video setup so you can now download the video. so it works for firefox when you click on the bottom button.

How do you get that gauge id badge?

What is going in the area circled? It seems empty. As is i would not have that duckunder. It is too much of a pian and it doesn't seem to serve a purpose. If you want to keep it I would make it more useful and have it be a reversing loop like I put in the pic

today I was trying to run about 13 cars. Four of the cars are knuckel couplers, shorter passenger cars. Two are transition cars the rest are rapido. I was trying to see how many cars my mikado could pull but the fourth car with knuckel couplers keep uncoupling. At first I thought because it...

Going back to one of your earlyer question no they are not all the same. Some are articulated some are just the single car. I have both in n scale. My n scale cars are metal they have a little metal peice that prohibits the weels frome turning. If it is the same way on the HO you could try...

this kinda gives an idea of what I was talking about
