yeah true. I am not too worried, I mean, N Scale IS the second most popular. But Im guessing those young kids that get those big Polar Express and Harry Potter sets will grow up and buy either N or HO scale sets.

cool. hopefully more customers = lower prices. But they only talked about large scale trains. What about us N Scalers :(

I have one of those SD80MACs, they're really cool. Im afraid to try and detail it and mess it up somehow

That looks really cool. maybe the picture is misleading but Those look pretty small on that picture with the hands. Is that Z scale?

Welcome. Thats cool, I live right off of I-10 too...but about 1500 miles east in San Antonio. Im new to the area so I will take a train day and go visit the hobby shops around town.

thanks for the info. so for grab irons and such, i should use .005?

Howdy. I was looking at some brass wire at this website, but I couldnt figure out which one would be used for handrails or other small hoses in a locomotive. Which size is the smallest and which is the thickest? Thanks

I have a Kato SD40 in this paint scheme. on the box, it says "pre-1972" or something like that. I dont kow how rare this N scale loco is. but it looks really cool

Wuts happenin' errone? Im looking for a store that has a wide selection of N scale brass locomotives. I do shop at ebay once in a while and have found some good prices. But I would like a place that has a wider selection. If anyone knows, please let me know. Thanks

micro trains has a coupler converstion for the tender. im not sure which one it is. i'll look it up later. But for this one, i think i'll stick with rapidos. It actually looks really cool pulling three Penn. passenger cars.

Well, since everyone is detailing their list and naming every loco they own, i guess i'll put mine too. All N Scale...... 1----SD50 Atlas 1----DD40AX Bachmann 1----PA1 Con Cor 1----4-8-4 Northern Bachmann 1----4-8-8 Class J Bachmann 4----F7 Bachmann 1----SW8 Life Like 1----GP40 Atlas...

Most of my locos are Kato and Intermountain.

Wow, I didnt realize I had so many. I actually counted them. I only do N Scale and Locomotives is what I buy more of (instead of rolling stock). Counting 4 Steam engines and a few B Units and three Brass locos, the grand total as of today is eighty eight powered locomotives locomotives

That would look pretty sick. These little engines look cool by themselves. imagine a set of three hooked up and pulling a train. Good luck with your project and let us know how its going.

are you talking about the hole that is right above of where the tender connects to the engine with that little screw? Thats where the drive from the tender spins into the engine to activate the gears. When the engine is moving, that little piece of plastic spins because the motor is inside the...

I have one just like it. I really dont see any way possible. the front wheels are almost at the plow thingie. That thing is so small...

dip the tip in super glue or something and stick em back in. I did that to a couple that fell off. other than that, I have never had any problem with mine. I usually have problems putting them in because the coupler hole thingies are so small.

Thanks Gary! TexDoc, i'll have to check out Dibble's. I have heard about the san antonio rush hours. I used to live in Albuquerque, and it gets pretty bad around there too. But im looking for a better future and I cant have one here in this small town, so ill have to put up with the SA traffic...

Wuts going on fellow modelers? I live in New Mexico at the moment, but next month, I will be moving 12 hours away to big San Antonio Texas. Im just wondering if any of you guys are familiar with the town in terms of model train shops, clubs and any places where you can go spot real trains for...
