Masonjar quoted "foam is strong enough not too need a full plywood base under it. It only needs support every 2 feet or so" Really? I'm thinking of making another n-scale layout in my bedroom and foam would be light and portable. I have space for possibly 2x6'. Current layout is 3'x4' and...

Welcome Welcome to the Gauge and the world of N scale. Like you, I started in HO 12 years ago. I've recently got back into the hobby and due to my lack of space, I'm currently modelling in N scale. I'm still somewhat HO at heart, but the products available to N scale now are amazing. My best...

Welcome to the forum! Try looking into changing from Rapido to Microtrain (MT) couplers. They work really well. You can even get a coupler/truck assembly all in one. I find MT trucks run much better and smoother than the stock ones. Hope it helps. cpr_boy

I used Woodland Scenic risers and inclines and found them extremely easy to work with, especially if you are first-timer. Like Doc Holiday, I used long pins to hold down the styrofoam while the glue dried. One piece of advice if you are covering with plaster, make sure you lay down and glue...

Good idea....Any new photos of the layout? I'm dying to see your progress! Cheers

I've seen a few BC rail engines around the yards in Edmonton. I have a few pictures but no scanner :( Btw, I was travelling along the Yellowhead yesterday evening and saw a BNSF engine (AC4400 or Dash 9) coupled to 2 CN engines hauling an intermodel. What a beauty! I had a camera, but the...

I bought one yesterday I bought one yesterday and I'm really impressed with it. It ran so smooth and I couldn't believe how quiet it was. I can't wait for payday when I can get another one. I'm sure you'll be pleased when they arrive!

Sorry Cat. I'm just frustrated with the performance of my product which I paid good $$$ for. You get what you pay for and I paid alot for these engines.

Hi Mike. Great layout. I can see you really enjoy the hobby. I've just started a little n-scale layout myself and I can't believe how addictive the hobby is. Great job and excellent pictures from the Laggan Sub too! Btw, I understand you work for CPR. How did you start? It would be great to...
