    My N Gauge Layout

    I'm really unsure about posting this building - it needs cleaning up a tad on the masonry around the front, and what the owner was thinking when he painted that door is anyone's guess :oops: Here's how you get the DPM kit: Which goes together like so: Then I painted it with Phoenix...

    Coupling

    Oh right thankssign1 I'm just thinking, my model shop has 30/40 wagons, all with the Rapido coupling. If I'm going to buy all of them (in due course:D), then maybe I should stick with them? How easy is it to change from Rapido to MicroTrains etc - does the whole truck need doing or just the...

    My N Gauge Layout

    Is that wrong them, to call them co-cos? As long as I can run 30/40 bogied boxcars/tankers/reefers etc., behind a diesel, I'm happy :-) I spoke to a guy today that did it, so I think I can do it too.... I have a semi finalised plan. It's on two separate levels, with the thicker black line...

    My N Gauge Layout

    Will they run at the same speed and strength if they draw the same? It's just my model shop has a controller showing what the locos are drawing so I was going to check on the if they were matched, before I buy them.

    My N Gauge Layout

    Not sure what I want to run really, anything that's cheap I guess :D I'd say boxcars, and I'd like the get co-cos if possible. No steam, thank yousign1 I take it locos are 'matched' if they draw the same sort of current?
