But, its not just that simple. If your on a budget, HO scale is the best choice if your on a Restricted budget, and more stuff is made for HO its a big choice out there

The Queensland Police beleive he wasnt agitating the Stingray, it was unprovoked. there also is footage of his death He will be severely missed by the 20 million Australians, and countless people Worldwide who have come to love him RIP Steve Irwin. Crikey! What Was that!!!!!

Just somthing about Buying non DCC/Sound locos and installing it later If you buy it with sound and DCC, it means your not taking the shell off and mucking around with that. If its how you buy it, your warranty is covered If you buy the loco and put sound in later, you may void your warranty...

I say yes and no. I live in a town of 6000 people, and maybe out of that, 50 may have any interest in trains. I'm quite possibily the only one under 18 years of age that is into trains (i'm 14) At my "LHS" (dont feel comfortable calling it that" N scalers have some choice, a few Bachmann...

yeah, i'm prepeared to foul the main. If that happens, main line trains may be required to stop. It can only add fun to Operations, and if it doesnt, well i can always put the train on a Spur, etc. The Passing siding is designed to serve as both the Passing Siding and Yard Lead too. I'll have...

The Passing siding also serves as a run arounaround for the Yard. Trains will run in both directions. I will have a track going off the layout to expand, and that will be the entrance/exit track BTW, i also may run with 2 trains, one in the yard, and the other slowly circiling

I have done a Redesign of the layout The changes are 1. Added some Industry Spurs, coming off Yard 2. Modified Yard Design and yeah, thats pretty much it BTW, it was designed in XTrkCAD. My first layout done with that program Alexander

It could quite possibily be dirty tracks too, or dirty wheels

hmmmm, it seems more fun running a bit freelanced, yiu can still run say, BN, but it can be changed around. As some people would say "Its YOUR Railroad"

Put me down for Freelanced/Prototype, i model BN, in the 1970s, but the location is freelanced tho

Yeah, im going to add 2 spurs to expand the layout later. As for buildings, [dont laugh] mainly Lifelike, and those cheap buildings. I'm on a real budget, and i just dont have that much money. I will also look into Scratchbuilding some

hmmmmm, yep, so, is there any way i can improve it?

hmmmm, it seems i've found a good plan, and ould you beleive it, all in 4x8

Era: early 1970s Theme: Burlington Northern Locale: Freelanced There is a yard, we may put a small Hump in, we have 3 industry tracks, we will add a few Spurs to connect to a larger layout. So, whaddya think? Alexander

For one thing, i think that the noise that Athearn locos make is what makes it an Athearn Another thing, the Metal handrails are OK, not great, but OK, considering how much time i spent on my Atlas SD24 with the handrails

hmmmm, cant help you there, all i can sugguest is checking your trackwork. If worst comes to worst, you could start modelling Southern lol

no, it just disagreed with the cars behind it, and the trackwork wasnt* good *i say wasnt because i'm currently in the process of building a new layout

hmmmm, yeah, i've ran an Athearn GE U30C on 18" curves, but not well

Not always. They may be short compared to say a SD40-2, etc, but there still longer than 4 axle units, and its those extra 2 axles that make the difference

hmmmm, 85 MPH. A respectable speed, yes, but i've seen faster How did these specs compare to other E units, F units and GP/SD series locos, if you know?
