Just need some quick opinions on Bachmanns EZ Mate couplers compared to Kadees. Thanks.

I'm about to get started my new layout and was wondering what company makes the best, and easist to install signal units that acutally work. Storys and hints about install and how they work personally for you would be very helpful. Thanks.

UHaul trucks? I see no Uhauls...:confused:

I'm looking for the Distribution Facility from Walthers http://walthers.com/exec/productinfo/933-3076 It looks like it has been sold out for awhile, but I was wondering if anyone of the HO gods around here knew where they can be found.

Ok, now that we've got down what tools need to be had, I wouldn't know where to start on colors? How to make UP Yellow, or BNSF Red, or anything like that. Any tricks?

Wow, I didn't even know Walthers had a P42 in there arsonal. Thanks a lot Tom.

I will try again Tom, I don't give up this easy, but I wanted quality, and I knew I couldn't make what my mind imagines.:cry:

Sent you a PM matt

I've tried my hand at this kinda thing before, and it turned out HORRIBLE! What I'm talking about is painting cars and engines... I was wondering if anyone in the near future would be able to paint some cars and an engine up for me? What would be done is Talgo cars turned into Amtrak Cascade...

Ok, so been looking at a lot of layouts, went to my local ho club, and also looked at the real thing and came up with this... It may not be "simple" enough for some of you on here, but this is what my dad and I have settled on. It includes all I want, but leaves more room, no skinny isles, still...

The closet doors slide open, not out or in.. and I can access them from the spot where the main door opens... Thats how the layout before was, and there were no problems... Sorry for not explaining that earlier.

There is one access hatch. The way I used to access hard to reach sections of the layout was standing on stepstools or a large stool I have. I'm only 17 and athletic build, so skinny aisles and duckunders won't be a problem. The bottom of the window is chest high to me, and I'm 5'10", so no...

Ok, a little key for my plans... The purple track is my main line. Neon green is my spurs/yard. Blue is my regional track that would be filled up by a SOUNDER train. The red tracks are my Amtrak yard and machine station, and round house. and the 2 lines on the outside repersent 1 track that is a...

Ok, for starters... I do have the WHOLE room.. The layout is below the windows, so now renovations needed. No lounges or seating or nothing, because I'll be the only one using the room. No beds, no chairs, no nothing. Just trains. The track plans... Well, please don't laugh to hard.. lol

Modern era diesel, AC4400, C44-9W, AMD103 & F59PHI will be my most commen main line engines. Cars are big auto box cars, lots of intermodel, tri-level car carriers, bombardier passenger cars, Superliner II passenger cars... So ya, a lot of big stuff. Switchers will be GP35, 38, 40 etc. I was...

Nope, closets dont matter, The space left for the door is enough to get what ever cloths (REALLY old clothes btw) out. And removing closet door won't make to much extra space... To much storage in there as it is.

This is a VERY VERY basic pic. But it gets the point across. The only real obstruction is the door that opens into the room... windows and closets don't matter... I literally have the whole room except for that door. Thanks again guys.

I've recently tore out my old layout, and now planning a new one. I'm sooooo confused about new plans though. I don't know what to do. I've made 2 plans so far but there on microsoft paint... Are there any programs I can download online? Part 2... I'd like to see what some of you think I...

What street cars are those?

I would like to see the other pictures. So the engines can not hook on to other cars, i.e. Amtrak Superliner cars? sign1
