I don't know... I guess that the only way to find out is through trial and error... It's only 1mm, so it should be doable for most equipment. Although, you might have to adjust the sideframes on some stuff so the wheels don't rub...

Actually... If you use N-scale mechanisms and track, you will have HOn30 (HOn2.5, HOn2 1/2, or whatever you want to call it....) Some might even argue HOn2... N-gauge track is 9mm... HOn3-gauge track is 10mm... So, if a rivit counter were to attack, you'd want to have a set of...

More info on All-Weather-Cabs There's a fellow on the Bachmann Board that extended the existing cab on a 2-8-0 instead of replacing the whole cab... He used Precision Scale parts... (Brass, I think...) http://www.bachmanntrains.com/home-usa/gallery/album26 Just an Idea...

Grab yourself a copy Of the January 2005 Railroad Model Craftsman. There's a long article on building trestles.... In your case, I would ballast the deck of the bridge. Like in this diagram...

Set up a "Junior Gauge?" I know that this was discussed a short while ago, but I don't remember the tread and/or what happened.... The model train display that I am assisting in setting up at the Library may generate some interest and I was wondering if there was a place where younger...

If you're not using a hot-wire foam cutter... Here's a suggestion... To avoid all the foam fuzzies from sticking to everything.... I have heard that you can use a spray bottle full of water. Set it to spray a fine mist of water to dampen the foam. This neutralizes the static...

Home made hot wire foam cutter. I built my own hot wire foam cutter from brass rod and ni-chrome wire. I cut grades into my modules with it. I put "shoes" on the brass rod to limit the depth of the cut and used a soldering iron to cut channels for the brass rod to follow. Then, I used...

Thanks Val! All of the above! It will be in a locked glass display case. So nothing should get banged up... :thumb: :thumb:
