    Engine Pics & Train Stuff...

    AH yes, UP is by FAR my favorite railroad. I HATE BNSF for a reason (if you're curious, just ask, it's kinda a funny story), but one of my 3 favorite locos is the SD-40-2, most likely because I saw them the most when I was younger (though I'm pretty young still at 21) in Tacoma, Washington when...

    Another "Do you REALLY need another engine?" conundrum!

    I certainly wish there were a place for somebody like me. One who is a locomotice-aholic, but has not the money to spend on such things. Darn that college and their education, not to mention that baseball and football I'm going for heh. But yeah, I got about 9 locomotives and 30 pieces of...

    Roadbed

    I'm not sure if this helps, but I might as well mention it. I have gone to a number of places and got the same look. Home depot in washington state gave me that look when I asked about it, but I found that finding it online on a major chain store helped a good bit. I was finally able to get...

    Model Power Mike

    I've been curious as to how people have liked these for a while, and if they do come out with the traction tires for these, I might just purchase one... katos are a little bit out of my price range when it comes to steam (and that Con-Cor Big Boy I can see nothing but the price tag and heard...

    And So It Begins (Layout info/questions)

    I'm in the process of planning my layout, have a track plan that is just a sketch on a normal 8 1/2" x 11" piece of lined paper that I doodled out while bored one day, will have a picture probably by this evening. However, I'm unsure of how to build my benchwork, I have read the books but...

    Well Currect pics of my layout

    Well, at least you have something to run trains, I have to borrow some older brown unitrack from a neighbor/friend down the street so I can just keep my motive power and rolling stock clickety clacking down the tracks... I'm trying to get my layout started but it's sort of tough when you are...

    PEKO track

    In my experience, I've had great success with liquid nails. It's cheap (at most $2 per) and easy to use, dries moderately fast but can be taken up without that much trouble.

    Turntable/Transfer Table Questions

    actually, that's just some micro trains cars, and since I have... lemme count... 1 sec, going to take a while... 1 MT car with non low profile wheelsets, then I don't have to worry about that and my Kato SD 45s, LL sw9/1200s, LL SD7s and atlas SD60Ms are all compatible, therefore no need to...
