My GF thinks it is a waste of money. All my hobbys are a waste of money unless my hobby is buying her $35 t-shirts, and $100 jeans ;)

Well, I went to the hobby shop in Owen Sound today. They dont have a large selection of N Scale, or HO for that matter, but they carry N scale track, and scenery supplys.

I use the one in Mt Forest. I didint know there is one in Goderich. ::edit:: Been Googling, I cant find any train or hobby shop in Goderich. On some site that lists train shops, it lists a home hardware in goderich... but home hardware is not a hobby shop.

60103: I have looked at George's trains, I have been in that store many many times. Great store, but the website doesnt seem to have a browsing capacity... you have to use thier search function. I will take a look at the Credit Vally site, thanks. Will annand: Thanks, I will take a look...

Anyone know of any good Canadian online retailers that deal in N scale? I have bought stuff online from the states for the last time. Every time I order something, I always get hit with a near 50% duty tax... so any money I save from ordering online ends going to Canadian customs :mad...

Well, in my case I think I will go with a 4% upto 2" over 50". My layout is 8'x4', so I wont be haulin' any 40 car consists. I currently own... 5 cars :D The scene I am modeling usually only sees consists of 15-20 cars at most with 2 power units, so I dont think 4% is too bad.

I intend on doing something simular to what you are doing, and I have only 8' width. What I am going to do is start the grade in the front and use the turn on the end for most of the grade. I havent decided how high I am going up yet, but I am thinking 4-6".

Yes, unless you have incredibly dirty tracks, dirty wheels make much more sense. Good call Ralph!

Stuttering? Ummm... I am no expert with hardware, but I would think the most likely cause would be a dirty track, which is causing the train not to get power in small spots, but the train's momentum carrys it past the dirty spot. That is my theory atleast.

I read somewhere last year that they are planning a highspeed line between Toronto/Montreal, and maybe Ottawa.

Sorry to double post, but I think this is deserving a seperate post. Is this a decent buy? http://cgi.ebay.ca/Atlas-GP-7-NY-Central-N-Scale-5810-Excellent-Cond_W0QQitemZ6011460945QQcategoryZ19121QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem I am un sure of the specs on it. It says "This...

Sorry, that was a uninformed assumption. I have looked over quite a few images of the NF210s and the GP7s, and the majority of the cabs are the same, so I can salvage much of the cab in the construction of a NF210 cab. Really, the back face is the only major structural difference. I am not...

I really dont know about the end cab... being a Newfie, I would say that they had a problem converting from end cab steam locos, so they had diesel locos built with end cabs. Sounds like a bad newfie joke... :confused: I really never liked those G8s... but didnt see them very often in my...

I am from Newfoundland Canada, and I would like to do a N scale layout based on the former railway in Newfoundland. Problem is that no kit exists of the narrow guage locomotives. I am fine with using a standard guage track and trucks, but still, the EMD NF210 does not exist, in any scale...
