Here.s what I have so far ( if the pic works ). Still alot of work to be done.

Another great idea!:thumb: Thanks George HO:wave: Scott

Thanks Old n Weary, I ended up making one myself. Didn't turn out to bad, if I do say so myself.:rolleyes: I'll take a look at the one on ebay. Thanks again:thumb:

Sorry Truck, the web site I posted earlier doesn't work. If you type in Becker Model Train you'll find it.

Hey Trucklover, I get my loads from this place. Fairly reasonable. www.beckermodeltrainsupply.com in Minnesota. He has a ton of different loads and sizes.

Hey Tim, I went threw the exact thing 2 weeks ago. We picked up a small steamer w/ smoke. His layout is modern with some GP's and EMD's. My son is 7 and he doesn't care about the scenic era, he just likes watching the " cool steam loco". I sometimes have remind myself it's his layout and he can...

I agree with you Andrew. The track on our layout is Bachmann EZ track & we have now 3 Bachmann engines. This all got started when Granpa bought my 7 old son a Bachmann set last christmas. Now we ( he ) has 4x8 layout in his bedroom. We love it and are almost finish with layout. I guess I was...

Thanks again Andrew, it sure looks like the Bachmann 0-6-0 & 2-6-0 are the frame. I will contact Bachmann. Do you think Kadee would have pilot wheels? To be honest, the more I get into this train hobby the more I'm shying away from Bachmann, the quality doesn't seem a good as others. That's my...

Thanks Andrew, you are so heplful. What I was thinking of doing is - my son got a Bachamnn 0-6-0. I'd like to add some " pilot wheels " to the front. Is this a big deal or is it as simple as buy and putting them on. It looks like there might be a mounting screw on the bottom of the loco.

I have question. Can you buy the front wheels for a 0-6-0 steamer? I beleive it's called the " drive wheels"? I guess I'd like 0-6-0 into a 2-6-0. Is this possible? Thanks Scoobie

Thanks for all the help guys. Mrs Scoobie looked at me kinda funny when I told her about the idea. I took thay as a NO!:cry: So I ordered one off the web site Will gave. Maybe on the next layout. Thank again!!!!:thumb: Scott

OK guys, although I haven't run this be my wife:rolleyes: thanks N Gauger, I've been thinking about it all day. Not much done at work either:rolleyes: I'm thinking about a 5 to 7 " dvd player and I'll build a concession building that goes over the base of DVD player concealing all the DVD...

Thanks guys, I will look in to this futher with out a doubt. I'll let you all know how it turns out. Thanks again for the ideas.:thumb: Scott

OH MAN!!!!!! that is a great idea, Andrew. I'll have to do a little shoppin for this. That would be so nice. My wife's startin to think I'm going over board on this. Now I'll prove to her that I AMbounce7 Thanks for the idea:thumb:

I was thinking of about 6 to 8 cars. I don't think I could fit aymore.

Hey all, my son wants to put a Drive-in movie theater on his layout. My question is, what would the dimensions for the movie screen for HO scale? I plan on printing out a photo from his ( I love toy trains) video and glueing it to the screen.

Hey all, I would like to change couplers on an old Lionel loco ( the hook kind of couplers ) to some Kadee#5's. Is this possoible and what would I need to do. Thanks Scoobie

:thumb: Thanks, I am looking at the Zephyr. That seems the best way to go for me. I just needed a little input.

Hey All, I'm wondering what some of you think or if any of you have tried the Bachmann DCC controller? I'm going to go DCC here soon and was wondering if there is a big difference between this and the others. Thanks Scoobie

Sorry Trainnut, I was wondering since your projects are so innovative and assume if you could fit one in a television set ( hollowed out of course). I'm struggling with first HO layout. You do great work. What's next?
