Thanks everyone for your help. My plans for it are to clean/fix it up, new couplers. I have some old style passenger and some freight cars (not at the same time) that I will use with it. I am building a small circle and hope to have it ready for Christmas where I can remember my Grandparents.

toptrain1 you nailed it with the liliput 4-6-0. The paint scheme, and quantity of detail is exactly like the one I have. Thanks much. I appreciate it.:thumb: :) :) :) :thumb: I knew the experts here could figure it out.

I have been looking for an example of the ROCO to see if it matches any of the pictures. I found the Life-Like and don't think that it is it because of the paint. The grey on the front of the boiler is not consistant with Life-Like which the pictures have them all black. Hard to believe that...

Thanks for the input. I believe that it maybe the Life-Like even thought I haven't found a picture of one to compare it to. The Varney has a slightly different underside based upon the picture in e-bay. I remember the day that my grandmother bought it for me. There was no box and they just...

Any help on this would be appreciated. My parents were going though some old boxes in the basement and found my old train stuff I had as a kid. In the box was an old locomotive (I thought it was lost during my last move as a kid) that my grandmother had bought for me and I was wondering who made...

Here is my $0.02. I bought a Kodak camera and love it. I thought it was the easiest to use and least expensive when I was comparing with the Cannon and Nikon. This is the mid level version and about 3 years old and has never given me any problems. Check them all out and good luck figuring...

:oops: oops, I'll be more careful next time:)

Atlas makes a couple of cars you might be interested in. Not sure of the dates though but you can check it out at the following link http://www.atlasrr.com/nfreight/nreefer6.htm http://www.atlasrr.com/nfreight/nreefer1.htm http://www.atlasrr.com/nfreight/nreefer.htm There are others there...

Combat, since you seem to have a great following on your buys, I would be interested in knowing what is being offered for the next buy. The last offering I found out about was too late and found the thread only when people were posting their prizes. I was looking at an Atlas RS-1 or a GP-9 in...

Christo, The big 85' passenger cars sort of work on an 18" curve but look very awkward, stick with the 22". If you would like smaller cars Roundhouse offers some smaller series of cars modelled after older series. I have some 50'(?) passenger cars that I like to use on my round the tree...

Welcome Micheal, Lots of good stuff on here to help. I grew up down the street from you in Chili near the old NYC line (was Conrail when I was a kid) now I think it is CSX and quite active the last time I was there. Welcome again.

Hi, I had asked a similar question not too long ago. You can check out some of the comments that were made there. Lots of good stuff http://www.the-gauge.com/showthread.php?t=25767 Good luck

Wow, Thats alot of information, you sure have done your research. Still haven't bought yet :cry: Darn Christmas bills showed up and for some strange reason they want payment on them. I was leaning toward the Digitrax system and the items that you were listing were on my list of things that I...

Your help is greatly Appreciated. Now I guess it is time to go shopping. Thanks,

Thanks, Lynn I will try that. Hopefully it will work on the Digitrax Zephyr system too. The guy at the LHS seems to think so but never tried it.

I have been looking at Tony's Train Exchange and have learned somethings about the capabilites of both Digitrax and NCE but not specifically for the Zephyr or the PowerCab versions. I have also seen some stuff on JMRI and it sounds interesting. Again any help would be appreciated. Thanks,

Hi, New here and have been browsing around looking for information on DCC systems. My son and I are in the process of setting up a DCC system (He is into Computers and that is his interest is controlling all aspects with his PC). I just like to run the trains. Looking for an inexpensive DCC...
