The problem I've encountered with both Bachmann and ConCor (the GS4) is derailing of the leading trucks. They don't like turnouts for sure! Is there any way to fix this - tightening the connections maybe?

more new build info on British steam locos Here's more info on new builds in Britain. This info appeared in Britain's Steam Railway Magazine (www.steamrailway.co.uk): Coming together: Britain’s ‘new-build’ scene JUST ten years ago, there were few ‘new-build’ schemes anywhere near completion –...

Check out: http://www.a1steam.com/mainmenu.html You're right, if preserved lines and mainline specials want to keep on using steam, then some new builds are going to be required. There are several such projects in the UK, mostly new building lost classes, but Tornado is the biggest and nearest...

Hey - I've seen these locos - I've ridden behind these locos - these locos ain't lavender! I survived the 60s, so I sure can tell purple haze from king crimson.....:wave:

Hi folks, for information the spelling of our late President is Dwight D Eisenhower (rather than the various versions that have appeared in this thread!). This loco was a streamlined A4 Pacific built by the London & Northeastern Railway (one of the post-1922 big four). Another type of LNER...

I'm not quite sure where Shaygetz gets (sorry...) the lavender from? Isn't lavender a pale shade of violet or purple? Post grouping (1922) companies were LMS (maroon red as in the ebay link) for express locos; or black; LNER: apple green;, Southern: mid green; GWR: brunswick green. There were a...

Check out the 'Couplers, what's best' thread started by Chaparral on the Technical Q&A forum, as this deals with N couplers.

To answer your questions: 1. can i have dcc N gauge locos with sound? Yes - some locos (such as Precision Craft E7s) come with sound equipped; in many other locos sound can be fitted. However, some older model types may not have room. 2. will i need to reduce my grades with n compared to HO...

Hiya Denyons - any chance you could post a basic sketch of the layout - I too have 3 sides of a room to deal with and having difficulty finalizing a track plan!!! Woops - just noticed it, I didn't realize this thread went over some many pages!!!!

Is this some typical american anti-french racist remarks...? :curse: Pretty much wrong about Iraq, weren't they (I don't think):D PS you can't spell 'matter'

Looks like pretty 'hot' footage to me.....

Only other option is to move to DCC (digital command control) where locos are fitted with chips and can then be controlled individually. With DCC several locos can be run simultaneously without the use of isolated sections. However, you have to pay for and fit (or get fitted) the chips into each...

www.nscalesupply.com; www.4nscale.com; and www.wig-wag-trains.com all work well for me

Ah dear me, what a pity the old days are gone when we could just physically abuse children and get away with it. They'll be complaining about wife-beating next, dam' pinko liberal-commies, eh? Of course those young kids are terrorists, let's round 'em up, beat them for a while and then send 'em...

Don't be coy (!!) - which forum is the one that censors? - I'm sure the Gauge won't censor that! And if it's a purely factual account of the forum, it's not actionable!!

Hi - nice pics. Good to see british outline trains again (ex-Pat here!) Did you use Peco track? If so, what about point motors - are those Peco too? How good are they, as there's been some criticism of Peco motors on the Gauge. Are you based in UK - if so which part? Cheers -

Hi - :wave: Has anyone received the N Scale Galloping Goose from Con Cor? As the prototype was only narrow gauge, I was wondering whether the wheel set-ups would allow a conversion to Nn3? From the photos it looks as if the trailer wheels could be narrowed, but it's not clear whether that's...

Hi guys - it sure looks great. If you want to see a video with sound, go the website of nscale supply (www.nscalesupply.com) and follow the link on the main page to 4 videos of the loco on Mike Danemann's snowy layout (was in last time's N SCale Railraoding magazine). Broadbend best for this...

Hi, check out the Wikipedia entry - 3rd rail almost exclusively south east and south west England; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Railway_electrification_in_Great_Britain#650V-850V_DC.2C_Third_rail_.22Southern_Electric.22

Wow!!!:wave: At that price - I think I'll stick to trains.....:D
