Maybe it's called money? And just maybe the popularity of some roads? Next question is: Why aren't there more of the same road of a train set? An example is. A Rock Island train set has a RIL loco and caboose. But it has UP and SP rolling stock. Shouldn't there be atleast one RIL rolling...

I should really know this question. It's a basic electronic and physic's question. I am going to give it stabe at it. A motor just like a light bulb has no polarity to make it work. Polarity is used in DC circuits. You have a positive and negative. Ac has no true polarity. If you connect...

Pratice makes perfect. When I started into electronics at the age of 11. My best friends Dad, who got me into Ham Radio, taught me how to solder. Many years later, I went to a local tech college for electronics. I had entire year on how to solder and desoldering! This is what I have tride...

I thnk they should. I use Home Depotes spades. They make a smaller one that works fine with Atlas. You can get a 20 pack or 100 pack. I have some wide ones too. I used my Dremel tool to make them work! Andy

You are so right. I dated this girl who lost her kids to the State of Wisconsin. She was working with a socail worker to get her kids back. The socail worker asked me how I would disapline my son. It determines what he did I told her. What if he ran into busy street or had a fit in a store...

Kids will be kids. The stuff that I did between the ages of 12-15, I today would be labelled as a terrorist.:curse: All through American Railroad history, pranks has been play on or along the tracks. Have you ever put a penny on a rail before an on coming train? After 9-11, so much has...

If you use the white glue/ dish soap combo with a spray bottle with water and little dish soap. Here's a quick fix. I accidently laid the curve track in the picture, too close. The opposing trains hit each other. The reason, the tracks where too close. I sprayed the water/soap mixuture in...

I am looking for some N scale lighting. Street lights and passenger station lights in the era of 1920's -1940's. I did do a Google search and wasn't to impressed on what I found. Andy:wave:

That is a water fauntain! It is from my HO layout in Wisconsin. I know it's out of scale, but needed something to add. I did redo my ballasting because I soldered the track. The trains now run alot better! Andy:wave:
