    Ok, that's one tiny turntable. You need a bigger one! Try Walthers, they have sizes all the way up to 130 (scale) feet!

    Just for fun, how strong is your engine?

    I've gotten my unmodified Rivarossi Big Boy to pull upwards of 50 cars on a flat straight run I slapped together in my back yard (only place in the house with enough room lol). I even managed to get to full throttle, though this particular Big Boy only reaches about 30 scale MPH at full.

    Rolling Stock!

    I agree with Russ, if they're not metal then they're not grabirons, they're grab-plastics! sign1 I need about 60 Athearn stanchions for my newer DD35 and my U28C...they both came with the main long rail but no stanchions...and no front rail either...

    Your Favorite HO Scale Manufacturer?

    That's not the same... Walthers is a company in its own right...

    Your Favorite HO Scale Manufacturer?

    Way to forget Walthers. And Rivarossi, because although they're out of business they have some of the most beautiful stuff ever. I voted Athearn because that's the only one ON THERE that I own anything of!
