    liftout section building

    Thanks for the photos. It looks like you have it designed so that when it is in the out position the track goes dead? I have played around today with the liftout section and I believe I'm going to use some shelf pins to locate the section in the same position everytime. Now for the wiring. I...

    coupler and truck conversions

    I ordered the starter kit today. I will give this a try. The good news for me is that at present I only have about 25 cars and 2 locos. I am also going to purchase some type of magnifier so that I can see.

    coupler and truck conversions

    I am new to model railroading. I am building a 9x10 around the room layout in N scale. I want to convert all my rolling stock to Micro Train couplers. The problem is that I have no idea which ones to get. Do I need to buy the trucks and couplers together? If so, which trucks. I model modern day...
