:thumb: Actually yes, I do it all the time.... I drove a semi over the road and spent A LOT of time in railyards. I have gone on google maps to find the railyards I've been too.... Funny, they sure look a LOT different from above than they feel from the ground! :)

We got about a half inch overnight here as well, but it is now all gone... It has been "flurrying" all day, but to windy to stick! The wind here has been BRUTAL for 2 days! I drive a flatbed so strapping down has been a real interesting task!!!!! Nothing like throwing a strap and having it come...

I found that pic after I downloaded mine!!! That is definitely a better shot.... I went back with a better camera(35mm) and tried to take it again, but there just wasn't any good places to stop. No sidewalks due to snow and road to busy to walk on road.... I stopped for a second to take this...

Was sitting on overpass. No place to stop and take pics so had to grab while driving under.... Was sitting, facing westbound out of CSX yard in Beech Grove, Indiana. Few miles south of Indianapolis.

I can reach all of mine. It is only 4X6 and is only at knee level so I can walk all the way around and get to anything I need too... :thumb:

Thanks for the response! :thumb: What problems can it cause? So far I haven't had problems, but I know different set-ups have different problems.... Both the tracks in the center stop, In the pic it looks like it connects to the tophalf of the track, but it doesn't. I have them capped with a...

I am definitely new at this, but here is the start of my layout. I am VERY limited on space. I have it on a 4X6 where coffee table would normally be. I mounted 2x4's under the plywood to prevent warping. I cut small lines near power and switches to get wires out of the way. Still have to work on...

Ok, here's mine.. Hope this is in the correct place! :oops: I picked these up this weekend. I'm still working on the layout so no ics of it. New Engine Atlas SD24 An new cars for my two trains. For my intermodel train For my box car/tanker train an Athearn's Grand Canyon Line 50' Reefer

That's AWESOME

The Kato's are articulated I believe. Why won't they work on your layout? I was planning on getting a set for my layout, but I don't want to run into that problem. Thanks

:thumb: I looked at them at a train show last week. They seem pretty nice and well made. Good price too. $60 for 3 cars with doublestack containers. I priced out other brands and once you buy the doublestack containers, then the cars that pull them you're talking somewhere around $70-75. SO...

I was on my way home from a local train show/auction and this caught my eye. I stopped to grab a quick shot!

Thank you everyone for your replies. I want the Kato version, however I see it hasn't been manufactured for a while and EVRYONE seems to be Out of stock.. I may end up going with the Atlas version Thanks again

Looking for a new Santa Fe or a BNSF engine.... Who makes the better engine? I like Athearn, Kato, or Atlas.... They all look REALLY nice, and each have feature I like.. I like the lit ditch lights on the Kato's.... Are any really better than the others? Any have more detail????

Ok This has got to be the best thread I have ever spent time reading!!!! AWESOME!!! Deano: You have the coolest set-ups I have ever seen! GREAT pics too. Love the layouts!!! You do an AWESOME job of "weathering" too!!! :thumb: Thanks for a GREAT thread to read and get idea's

My Bachmann N scale loco's lights didn't work either... Toom apart and the bulb's wires were bent to far in... Weren't making ANY contact.... bent them back out and it worked GREAT. :thumb: hope this might help. Can't help on taking it apart...sorry! :)

Thank you both for the GREAT replies.... ezdays: I looked up the webite and that is helpful.. pgandw: I KIND of undertood the DC and DCC thing, but now I understand it further. I knew I had a DC set-up, that's why I was asking about Non decoder engines, but it's good to know I could...

I'm am REALLY new at this so I hope these aren't stupid questions. 1) I currently have Bachmann EZ track and i wanted to know if ANY no decoder locomotive will run on it, or only Bachmann? At some point I would like to upgrade to an Atlas Locomotive. 2)Can I change the "couplers" on the...

Thanks for the reply... It never gets too hot. usually it gets 85-95 in the summer outside, so I'd say it'll get a bit over 80 in the garage. Is that too hot? Never have the SUN, but it might get the humidity. Like I said, it is insulated so it does pretty good keeping the worst OUTSIDE...

Thanks for the information I appreciate it :thumb: Any other infor or help is still welcome and appreciated!! :D
