If you post the hight of one of the people and/or the gauge of the track (distance between rails). One of us might be able to tell you the scale. This would give you a start.

I have both the Con-Cor Challenger and Big Boy (latter version). Both pull well and have been great attention getters at public shows. I also have one of the earlier release Big Boys that I bought from a friend knowing it had a dead motor and have been planning to remotor it but never have done...

One of the old N scale mag.'s had an articale on doing these with a pattern to photocopy on clear sheet and cut out try the moden train mag. index. http://www.index.mrmag.com/ Brady

I was looking for something about 3/16" the skewers were all over the place in size. I have 18" of trestle pluss truss sections built. Brady

try this link http://ghostdepot.com/rg/bridges/bridges.htm try a google search truss wood bridge, or what type you want. Brady

Trestle I looked at useing the bamboo skewers there size wasn't what I was looking for. I bassed my trestle on a local abanded one that is three cross brace sections high, and uses round pilings. Brady

The old water tower is still standing in Liverpool N.S., there are no tracks any more. I don't get down there very often, it's about 30 minutes in the wrong direction. Next time I'm going to try and remember my camera. Brady

In building my trestle I had problem finding round stock for the uprights. I ended up useing the long one ended Q tips from a drug store, way cheaper then buying dowels. When you cut of the tip you have 5 3/8". Plus the fact the local hobby shop only stocks what they use in RC planes. I'm...

I know the photo I attached is going to raise some questions the passenger section carried 16. I know of another Porter from the same era that was converted from 2-4-4T to 2-4-0 with a 4 wheel tender. That I'd also like to model. I wish some one would produce and sell drivers for N scale...

IF your keeping track you better keep adding. I'm modeling CN in the mid fifties and I'm considering modeling Springfield Railway a local logging line the ended operations in 1920. They had 3 shays so I want to get an Atlas Shay problem 1 $$. they also had a 2-4-4T Porter, I don't expect to see...

IN what scale are you modeling? This may change your aproach. Brady

I'm all for scratch building in N scale. I do it, among other things I've built a trestle that I'm quite happy with. For N scale you might want to look for some Gloor Craft or Quality Craft kits (I think they are not on the market any more but you might find them at flee markets) I have a the...

The Narrow Gauge Gazette ran a 2 part artical in the 70's or early 80's on a "dog hole steamer" I think. Try searching the modle train mag. index http://www.index.mrmag.com/ Brady

I use a fifty fifty mix of white glue and water. I aply the white glue and water with a eye dropper and then a drop of rubbing alcohol. Amazing how the white water and glue vanishes. Brady

I have two of the Spectrum 2-8-0's I like. A friend has a Roundhouse 2-8-0 {turn of century} it is nice. Roundhouse and Atlas both have 2-6-0's I haven't seen but have heard good. Atlas now has the Shay it is just new I hope to get one. Bachmann has a 0-6-0 I've heard some good on' I'm a little...

By the looks of that link that was posted to LL. Andrew get out the air brush and start painting. Better yet get some steam! Brady

Andrew I don't know if LL did them in CP colours. CP only had three E-8's. CN didn't run any until they got two a few years ago when they purchased one of the lines in the states. They painted them in the old Green gold schem and used them for pulling private cars they looked great. I think I...

Your work is looking great! keep up the good work you are raising the bar for N scale. Brady

2-10-4 trailing truck I'm interested to know what you do for the trailing truck. If I'm not mistaken the trailing truck on CN's 5700's was very simular and I hope to do one of them in the future, useing an old B'mann "dead" 4-8-4 for drivers and build from there up. I have some other projects...

I better be more carefull typeing I ment [not just running trains] Brady
