I guess that means some of these are true ?: You can live in Phoenix where ... 1. You are willing to park three blocks away because you found shade. 2. You've experienced condensation on your butt from the hot water in the toilet bowl. 3. You can drive for four hours in one direction and...

As far as the ballast sticking to the sides, I have "cheated" in the following way...just spread a layer of full strength white glue on the sides of the roadbed (not too thick). Your finger will probably work best. After that spread ballast everywhere you want it, sweep off the tops of the...

Yeah, by prototype I was referring to the actual way the RR's did stuff. It takes all kinds of people to fill the freeway. Some people will run anything, others will :cry:in horror if you perhaps run a Thomas the Tank engine on their layout which is set at 4:59 PM Aug. 12, 1950. From what it...

This is not plastic pellets but maybe it can help. Scroll down to the bottom of the page that says "first delivery @ yuengling brewery" http://www.rbmnrr.com/photos.shtml

Hi....The locomotive and caboose are really the only things that have to be the same Railroad , Freight cars were exchanged between RR's so they don't matter. (All of this assumes you care about the prototype, if you just want to have fun have fun ! That is the most important rule of model...

Um.....actually the prototype did exist ! sign1 http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=143088

Did you try adding weight to the ore car?

O scale is great for christmas trees and your application. I bought a Lionel Polar Express set exclusively for under the tree. It looks and runs great (and smokes and whistles !). I love HO, but bigger trains look better under the tree. Also, most lionel sets come with a version of fast...

See if this link helps. I think it will. LINK

Here is a link to Thomas train sets with the track that 88fan describes Internet Trains

Yeah......Atlas software is free and so is Xtrac Cad. There is a pay one but I don't know the name of it. Atlas was easier to use for me, Xtrac appeared more advanced and I went through all the tutorials and i didn't get it. If you have ever used CAD software, maybe you will understand it. I...

Some people recommend the DCC book from kalmbach (model railroader/trains). I read that book and didn't really find it useful. It was kinda too basic. You can see if your local library has it before you would buy it (but it is only like 15 bucks anyway). I don't know if there are other...

Ok.....I tried the foam and like it pretty well. It is lower than cork for a more realistic appearance. You can also use cork for the mainline and the foam for the sidings. It is really easy to cut and splice together (you can use scissors). It is more flexible than cork and takes corners...

You might want to try an internet search if you are looking for more of a how to. This is how I think it is done and may help you, but this might not work, because I am doing it all from memory. Basically, just trying to help you. First, you need metal wheelsets for the car if it doesn't have...

They usually heat up to about 9 billion degrees, and they burn out pretty quick if you run it without the fluid and there is no on/off switch.
