    Favorite N Scale Manufacturer

    There's really no way to have a number 1 for me, but my favorites would be: Kato, Atlas, and Heritage engines Kato Unitrack Athearn, Atlas, Micro trains Rolling stock I have 2 Bachmann 2-6-6-2 and they are very loud and choppy running at best. The first time I put one on the track and power...

    Do you belong to the NMRA ?

    I became a member about 8 years ago because I have benefited over the years using their website for standards and help, etc.... The lists of hobby shops have been a great help as well.

    The new yard looks great. Will it take a lot to extend that portion of the layout for the service road?

    IT's an engine I've always wanted in N scale.. I had saved up some money so I was prepared although it was pricey but sometimes it's worth it.

    Risers

    Because I use hollow core doors as my base, adding more plywood defeats the purpose of making the lightest layout I can for portability. I was looking online and found a hobby shop that will sell me 4 sets for about $75. Is that too much? If I had a stationary layout I think I would use 1/4...

    Risers

    Has anyone ever used the foam riser kits from woodland scenics for N scale? I was wondering if the 2% grade would be too much? Any help would be much appreciated :rolleyes:

    Sounds good look forward to seeing it. I hope to purchase the El Capitan next year as budget allows. I like the idea of having a yard big enough to handle made up trains. I might have to use that idea as I begin working on my layout. What electro-magnetic uncouplers are you using?

    Merry Christmas back at'cha! Once again the layout looks great! The new yard looks like it will add a lot more operation. I like to have all my cars out as well. How many cars do you think you can store? I was wondering how wide the layout is where the new yard is? It looks great with all...
