    I think I will try to buy the motor you recommended. It isnt exactly the same as the current one in the engine, but I am sure I will get it working. Just wish me luck with the winning it part. Sometimes it is hard to win one of those auctions.

    ballast

    Thanks for the welcome, and yes I am into O gauge. The ideas are all great. I have already built a solid eight by eight foot layout but I have just tested some things on it and drilled a few holes. I could saw it in half pretty easily. My drawback is that If I were ever to move I would want...

    Hi, Im new on "the-gauge" I am currently building my first really detailed layout and will stop back for help. Right now I am wondering how to glue ballast under the track without making it look fake? One other thing, if any of you have any ideas on how to make it possible to get an 8'x8' layout...
