I'm trying to make a Amtrak Cascades consisit, and the only thing I'm having trouble with it the generator/baggage cars. What would be the best material to build that little hump where the blue goes up on the front of it? Would some type of material be better for painting? I've NEVER scratch...

On my 2 mains, I'll be using Atlas code 83 #8 turnouts of course, but in the yards, since the engines will be going so slowly, and as a space saver, is it possible to use #6 turnouts? Engines I will be running will be mostly AC4400, -9W, 70/80/90MAC's and the like, but also SD40's, GP's , F7's...

Personally, I like the idea of having one RR on the line. You'd be real limited in cars though. Diffently branch out for rolling stock. Theres a REALLY good soft cover book I got awhile back on creating a shortline RR in a 4x8 space. Its from Model Railroader mag and its called "HO Railroad from...

Sorry for that. We LITERALLY posted in the exact same minute... If I would have read your post, I would have never posted mine. Thanks:wave:

1st off, I'm specifically looking for the Great Northern 'Empire Builder' F7 A-B set, so I'll focus on looking for those. 2nd, for my sake of not going insane, lol, I'm going to list positives to each manf's F7. If you have any more, please list. Athearn Genesis- $350 for A-B -Researched from...

What about body detail? Should one be worried about which manf. has greater detail? Is the best thing to do wait until the P2K is out, then make my decision? I just don't want to get burned on a $300+ loco here:cry:

http://walthers.com/exec/productinfo/920-40587 P2K does have the F7, so says Walthers atleast.

With DCC equiped, which is better, Athearn Genesis or Proto 2000? Just a quick easy question.

Wow, never thought of that, you're right! Adds a little something special to know that.:)

Ok, FINALLY some new pics, the floor was a bit harder to get then I expected. Many of you probably didn't think I'd be doing all this, but... YES, thats wood flooring in a train room. Is that strange? Floor is (hopefully) going to be 100% done tomorrow or Saturday (11/24-25) Then the trim has to...

Where did you get all of the RoadWays' from?

I just bought some ConCor Superliner cars, and replacing the stock horn couplers with some Kadees. I've never messed around with couplers this long, so I decided to ask you guys. I was looking on Kadees website, at the Kadee #20 NEM 362 Extra Long couplers, but they didn't look long enough. I...

I think he was talking about BNSF being unfashionable... Not UP. I think? :confused:

I already have 2 track lighting set, with 4 lights on each. Only one of those are turned on in the pics, and there all pointed on the wall I just finished painting to help dry it. If anything I have excessive lighting lol. When I get crapet in, I'll post pics with better lighting. Thanks for the...

Well, the new train room is finally taking shape. Just got done painting it from an ugly puke brown/tan color, to a nice sky blue. Next thing to do, carpet. YAY!!! My feet get SOOOO cold on the linolium (sp???) Well, things are shaping up pretty darn quick, so should have bench work up, and...

On the lines of this, can you show me where you found the small cranes? I really want to find one. I've seen tons for N, but not many for HO.

AHHH, TOTALLY forgot about one of my FAVORITE rolling stock producers... InterMountian!!! A little more spendy, but diffently worth it.

To me, its all about personal preferance. I buy only Athearn and Kato engines normally, although I have 1 or 2 Walthers and Bachmann Spectrum. As far as rolling stock goes, Athearn, Atlas and Walthers are what I normally run. I'm happy with them all

Seems like your from Europe. Walthers, Athearn, Atlas make buildings also.
