    DCC for N scale RS- units..

    Is it impossible to get an RS-1 or 3 with DCC? I noticed atlas doesn't even have them that are DCC ready. Does anybody carry these with DCC installed or at least ones that are DCC ready? Thanks, Clint

    Revelation and questions

    Well, today I was just looking for small track plans for my first layout. I was planning a early 1990s CSX or freelanced but I happened upon this site. http://simonet.club.fr/Poss_us.htm I have always liked the logging layouts I have seen from some of you folks and even posted on here last year...

    Nice prototype RR

    I didn't realize it either until the other day. I thought they were just leasing it. Here are some more pics. These pictures are of the Tyson Feed plant on the old L&N/CSX line. It is a stub now. The line used to continue and ran through my hometown. It is this line that I talked about seeing...

    Nice prototype RR

    The Alabama and Tennessee River Railway, an Omnitrax rr, would be a nice prototype to model, I think. I am more interested in CSX in the early 90s or freelancing, but I thought this might interest someone. It would be very interesting in N scale. It is a shortline that runs roughly from...

    questions, dilemmas, and inspirations

    Here is a good example of that. In this picture you can even see an old L & N in the middle and an old B&O or C&O blue paint scheme #3823 over to the left rear. The only thing that is missing is a red, black, and white Western Maryland. http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=134783

    painting and detailing

    Are there any videos out there that show someone how to paint, decal, and detail a N-scale locomotives? I have a cheap airbrush but I don't know if I have the guts to try and paint and decal a locomotive.

    questions, dilemmas, and inspirations

    Curves are one of my concerns. I have a Dash-8. Like I said I am pretty new at this and it will be a while before I can even start my layout. I am buying a little bit at a time as far as rolling stock, locos, and some scenery goes. I hope I can find an expert that lives nearby. I am not really...

    questions, dilemmas, and inspirations

    Mr. Krause, Putting too much on there is one of my worries. A little of my inspiration, however, comes from Kent Wood and Ric LaBan's book N Scale Model Railroad That Grows. http://kalmbachcatalog.stores.yahoo.net/12145.html They got a lot of track in a 3.3 ft by 5 ft layout without the...

    questions, dilemmas, and inspirations

    thanks B, I haven't been able to find much on the Tropicana train, especially in the way of photos. If I am not mistaken there is a video about it, but I don't know who produced it and I could be wrong on that. Thanks again for the map.

    What's Up with Hobby Lobby?

    Same thing with the Hobby Lobby near me. I asked a lady and she wasn't sure why they started carring more model railraod supplies. It is good though because there are not any Model Railroad shops nearby. I am going today to by a Tropicana car with my 40% off coupon.

    questions, dilemmas, and inspirations

    I haven't posted on here in a long time. My interest in model railroading comes and goes, but I always come back to it. This, I guess, is one of my dilemmas. Anyway, I live in a small apartment now but I want to build a layout in the next couple of years and have already started gathering...
