It seems to me that you can do everything you said you wanted to do initially, if you just rotate your original layout design 90 degrees counter-clockwise. This would put your city up against the longest available wall you have, 19 feet at the top. The loops you have for the city would be at...

Today is the first day I have had any problems... @ 2:00 am to 3:30 am eastern daylight savings time. I keep dropping the line, and sometimes have to redial, even with two browser windows open. I think the problem is not with the Guage, but with the net.

It's been a long long time since I've been involved in electronics and electricity, but some statements as I understand it. If you have a +12 terminal, then you have direct current, not AC. Current is the flow of (negative) electrons from the minus terminal to the positive terminal...

You only have one reverse loop that I see. The left leg of the "Y" in the upper middle of your layout. Just disconnect it, or change the bottom switch of the "y" into a crossover and connect the other end of the track coming from the upper left up with the lower right portion of your middle...

Hi, I think my reply to you got sent to the next thread, so here goes again. Your layout looks great but you have a BIG problem that you should correct immediately. Your leadin rails to the turntable must be aligned with the turntable. The rail that is to closest to being correct is the...

Hi, Your layout looks super, but you have a BIG problem that you want to correct immediately. All rails leading to the turntable MUST be perfectly aligned to the turntable. As constructed, none of your leads are properly aligned. The spur third from the right is closest to being in line...

The passing switch as so well described by Zman and 600??? is usually called a momentary contact switch. Thanks, GeorgeHO

The locomotives that I bought that are all identical are Bachmanns. The 0-6-0 is Item no. 50614 USRA 0-6-0 & Slope Tender with Smoke Pennsylvania. The 2-6-0 is Item no. 56514 "HO" 2-6-0 Mogul w/Smoke & Tender (Pennsylvania). They both are numbered 3233, same red roof on the cab, same identical...

Hi, I just joined, and bought a Bachmann Niagara. My layout is not up yet, so I can just run it on my test track (Life-Like circle with 3 straights). I noticed two things with the engine. The pilot trucks hang up (18 inch radius) going from straight to curved. I filed the underside of the...

Getting back into MR after 40 years I am getting back into HO after not doing anything for 40 years. I am now retired and have lots of time. I just started purchasing rolling stock, and am maybe buying too much before I lay tracks. I have purchased (relatively) cheap locomotives ($9.99 to...
