Is HOn3 track the same as N scale track? Or is HOn3 something diffrent?? TN_Trainman

Hello all, Well I am finally going to buy my DCC system this week, and I have sorta narrowed it down between the MRC Prodigy Express or the MRC Prodigy Squared system, now there is about a 100.00 diffrence between the two systems. Here is my question, my layout is a 16x9 shed and the main...

Cool thanks guys, I will try them both, and let ya know how it turns out!

Hello all, I am somewhat preplexed as how to lay my code 100 track and recess it into a concrete apron in front of my Walthers packing house, I was thinking of mounting the building on foam board and allowing it to act as the poured concrete area where the trucks back up to the dock. So do I...

Doc, yep the trains are running on what I have laid so far, (about 30 ft main line) I have not purchased my DCC system as of yet, so I have been running them back and forward with my DC Transformer. I have been concentrating on the area in the far left hand corner of the first picture as this...

Hello everybody, Well its been a while since I posted, just been busy with work and such, but I thought you might like an update. So this last Sunday I spent about 8 hours working on the T&W. I got the bridge set in place and around 25 feet of track laid as well as most of my feeder wire...

welcome aboard

Hello unto the gauge, well as some of you know I will need to place a tressel over the little Warrior River Section of the Tennessee and Western RR. The distance is 26 inches across and although I have been looking on Ebay I have yet to find a bridge that is of that length so I have decided to...

Building on the Mountian......yeah Ha!! Hello all, well we started to work on the mountian area that will run behind the coal mine and along the wall at the end of the shed, we are using the method that was in the January 07 Model Railroader written by Howard Zane called Paper Shell Scenery...

Looking GOOD!!!!!:thumb: :thumb:

Gary, thanks for the complaments, if you look at the Breaker Box you will see an area I left open so I could get to the box if need be. The area left of the box (in front of the darker peg board) will eventually be a hill area with mining houses and a small general store (Company Store) it may...

Update 04/17/07 Hello unto all, well it has been a while and I just wanted to post a few pics of where the Tennessee & Western is at. I am concertrating on working it 3 to 4 feet at a time as well as getting the hardest area to reach done first, which is the Coal mine area. Tonight my sons...

Thanks for the replys, on what type of turnouts I will be using well, its a hodge podge, I have 2 Peco and The rest are Atlas or Shinohara.

Hello to al, I am gettiing ready to purchase Ground Throws for the TN&Western and need some advice, do I just need to purchase the " Standard Ground Throw" Like Caboose Ind offers and if so is sprung better than rigid. I am a little lost, even though my mind tells me this is wwwwaaayyyyyy...

Thanks guys for your input, well it didnt take long to figure out that the #10 was way to big to use as feeder wire, so I will use the #10 as Bus wire and use #20 as my feeder wire. There is a local company that priced me 100 ft roll of #20 for 9.98 so that is the way I will go. Again thanks...

Way to go Gary, congrats.........hopefully by June I can post pics of the TN&Western for you to enjoy as well as I did yours!!!!!

Hello all, well I need to ask a question on wire gauge for the Tenn & Western, I have a HUGE spool of #10 AWG, and I plan on using it for my feeder lins (bus lines) but as I am on a tight budget and I have soooooooooooo much of it will it hurt to run my feeder wires in #10 as well? I know for...

Big Steel one question what are the size of the turnouts you laid the yard out with ?

THANKS A LOT Big Steel, it looks super I will mock it up tomorrow or Tuesday and see how it looks on the layout and post a picture.

Nope no curves on the ends, but I do have a 90' Turntable and a three stall roundhouse, a coaling tower (wooden type, it cannot straddle a track) sanding shed and towers, water tank, and SS diesel fueling set any hel would be great! The scale is HO George
