First thanks for the replies so far please keep them coming Agatheron It was the new kato p42 that started all this for me. I had to have one because it was "neat". Once I had it home I started what sounds like alot of the same searching for passenger cars. I decided to pick up some...

I not sure why but I have been bitten by some Via Rail bug and have started on a Champaign to find all things Via in N scale. I am not afraid to bash and smash to get there (although I choked on eBay the other day for 2 nice Kato E8/9 locos). My biggest problem is to find information on...

This is another source for Procor sets in N and HO. They are the Canadian wholesaler but they should be able to tell you who you can order them from. http://www.trainscanada.ca/mainline.htm Garry

Looks like an interesting build. You said you had some plans? Garry

Amazzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzing work. Garry

Here is something at least the shape you were looking for. Autocad Lite isn't the nicest program to sketch with (especially in the hands of an engineer or so the cad operators at work keep telling me) Basically extended the straight portion of the yellow and blue lines to 8" and 12"...

I don't know how much space you have or how important the mountain division is but a simple solution is to use standard 3' corners in the following configuration. What are you trying to run around the corners. We just had our yearly train show and my 85' passenger cars really didn't...

I just type sounds into my favourite search engine and worked through the various hits until i found what I was looking for. Unfortuniately I didn't save any of the links. TTFN Garry

Another option for sounds is one of those old 286/386 computers everyone seems to have lying around, a sound card and a surf on the net. Awhile back I was looking for sounds and came across some large libraries of obscure sounds. It should be a simple matter to download various sounds and cue...

Sorry no time to post Train show setup in less than 48 hours and too many things to complete. This will be the second show for our Ntrak group (there are only 2 of us at this time) and we decided last year that pink styrofoam and some track apparently randomly stuck down wasn't that...

Chat room newbie question. what is a "troll" ? Garry

Can they make those Micro-Trains coupler springs any smaller! Garry

For electronics I use a "Solder Sucker". It is basically a large spring loaded syringe. You heat up the joint until the solder is liquid and then quickly place the nozzel over the joint and press the button. If you are lucky the first time the solder is "sucked" out and your joint can be...

How about adding in that area north of your border. Garry

I was going to post my sign here as an image but it is too big. So I put a copy on my wifes old website. http://www3.sympatico.ca/garry_young/bbguage.jpg Hopefully the link will work or you will end up at her new site. The jpg is large since I do my artwork that I plan to print at...

I like the idea of TTrak. I have been looking for an excuse to build one. I guess I could brave the sunny south in the summer. Garry

I have been asking lots of questions lately and thought I shouldpost something to show all that replied that their advice has been put to good use. Here is the first generation bill board I built for my Ntrak module. The picture quality is poor (still trying to figure out that #$%%$#@$...

A few hours later and I have calmed down a bit. I will go back to the well to try again. Mike If you wouldn't mind letting me know what software you use I would appreciate it. Garry

Last Second Bidders I realize it is all part of the game and I am new to the online auction thing but it is really annoying to be out bid in the last 6 seconds of an auction.:mad: :mad: After sitting through almost three days of no one showing interest in the particular item to loose it in...
