    Styrofoam Grade/Riser

    In using the Woodlands Scenic inclines or risers for N gauge, has anyone found the need to split them in two??? According to the catelog, they are 2 1/2" wide and also seem suitable for HO gauge which seems to make them about twice as wide as necessary for N gauge.

    Hi Richard(rrs517): Thanks for the info on your experience. Did you read the link that Scott (SAL Comet) had above? http://www.the-gauge.com/showthread.php?t=11837 He had good luck wiring leds. Maybe the size of the application makes a big difference, wire versus track. Sounds like it may be...

    Styrofoam Grade/Riser

    Doc: Do you just glue the foam in place on the board, then glue the cork (roadbed) onto the foam and then glue the track to the roadbed???. Did you cut your own angles in the foam or buy commercial? Dwight

    Of interest to cell phone owning modelers and their kinfolk...

    Suggest you take a look at the urbanlegends.about.com web site and see what they have to say about telemarketers calling cell phones and other outlandish emails for that matter. I think you might be a bit too worried about nothing.

    DCC: trains running in opposite directions

    I am resurecting an n gauge layout that has been dormant for about 15 years. I am trying to decide about switching over to dcc.

    Cold Solder - as advertised on TV

    I asked this question in N Gauge but no one has responded yet so I thought I would try here. I have seen a "cold solder" tool advertised on TV. It sells for $19.95. It is battery operated but shows that it only gets hot when actually soldering. When you are finished with the solder job, you can...

    Convert to DCC

    kchronister - I was just reading back over your earlier response.
