Hi - I too used to work in a bigger scale. I was a British OO (1:76) scale modeler before moving this side of the pond. I liked the heft and look of the larger scale, and N in Britain was never very convincing and lacked a range of equipment for my era and region (Great Western 1930s-40s)...

:wave: Hi and welcome! I guess first things first: scale. As you're posting on the N forum (I couldn't see you on HO), I assume you've decided on this scale (very wise!):) The next decision has to be where in your house/apartment you want the railway, and how much space in this area you can use...

Intermountain SP AC-12? I have had a message from the good folks at Intermountain confirming that it is their usual practice to bring out their locos in both HO and N. As they are just launching a cabforward in HO, it's a fair bet that an N version will be heading up the pike before too much...

:rolleyes: It seems Loggerhead really lives up to his Forum name! Are we not allowed to be light-hearted and make jests??:D Surely not! I think he should lighten up, and try to develop some conversational pragmatics....:wave:

Hi folks - I didn't intent to start a spat here with my original comment. It was intended to be a humorous comment pointing out the unfortunately high cost of brass:cry: I guess I could have done a little ebay research - I have now done so, and can tell folks that a current offering of the...

Hi - Fred gave me a similar answer some time back, and I'm sure he's got some important points here. Just to note, however, that Noch of Germany manufacture helices for various gauges, and one recommended for N has a radius of around 11 inches (they also have a somewhat wider one for N). As I...

Aah - but how much does it cost....?

Brick streets and sidewalks etc are available from Kancali: see www.kancali.com and advert in current (May/June 06) N Scale Railroading (well worth getting if you're new to N scale - order through www.nscalesupply.com) Good luck with the layout - what's the track plan like?

I know the T&NO was formally absorbed into the SP in 1961. Does anyone know how long after this freight stock still ran with T&NO markings? I have some Athearn N Scale 3 bay hoppers with T&NO markings and numbers but also the SP herald. The Athearn website says that hoppers like these ran from...

Many thanks Greg - I'd appreciate a few pictures. I'm wondering whether any of the new Atlas N color light models would be possible, so pictures to make a comparison would be very helpful

Anyone know when color light signals started being used on US railroads generally? I want to have a multi-era SP layout (I know SP held on to semaphores for a long time in many areas). Would color lights be out of place in an 1960s SP layout??:D

Hi -:wave: attached is first draft of track plan of Authementville Division of the SP. I intend using Noch N-scale helices at either end to go down to lower level staging. The left hand helix will have buildings above it, the right hand some track work. At the right, there may be a Nn3 narrow...

Palmisano - looks fabulous. I'm going to use Atlas 55 too - any hints on avoiding pitfalls?

I'm fascinated by the variant spellings of spaghetti in these messages: maybe a case of folks using that little check spelling icon at the top right of the message box.....!!
