They are bringing out a HO Class B climax as well , gee i am looking forward to that , again if its runs anything like the 3 truck shay it will be great. And Paul , rivarossi have a HO Heisler as i am sure you know . i think you had/have one.One of the pitfalls of changing over the from HO to...

I think the MDC shay will always be noisey to a degree , depends on how fast you run it.I have not used the NWSL gears , but i cleaned the plastic gears and tweeked the driveshaft using the directions given in the excellent book Jeff Johnston’s MDC Shay Handbook. Although it is noisey...

Very nice Shamus , is that a Shay i see in the background ? :D

Yes a fair review by Tony Trains , i noticed thier add in MR saying that is was satisfactory sound at a great price. The reason i may look into it is that i run a small layout on an beginners DDC station (Lenz Compact/Atlas Commander) , i have no need for all the bells and whistles...

Peter Scarfe returned from the NMRA covention with the Canadian Railroad Proto 0-8-0 and some overton carriages to run behind it. He ran it consistantly on the Poison Gully RR even though it only usually runs Union Pacific. Nice looking loco Peter Cheers Ian:D

Thanks for the reply Gary , yes the Quantumsound feature in the broadway locos sound very interesting , i believe you can operate the sound on DC as well by switching the reverse polarity very quickly, or something like that. shame about the soundtraxx not being dc though , in Australia there...

Looking at getting some Soundtraxx decoders , anyone know if they run well/at all on DC as well as DDC. My TCS decoder works great of DC , my lenz only works forward. any experience would be greatly appreciated Cheers Ian:D

Thanks all for your imput regarding the smoke stack , i built a tubalar one out of brass , here is a picture of it painted and attached to the shay. Although i would have like a mesh one i found a picture of something like this with a double flue kind of stack and i am resonably happy with...

Snake River is a great layout , you have to kinda remind yourself that you are looking at Nn3 once in a while to really appreciate the amount of work gone into it. I would like to point out that in my initial post it may have sounded like i was involved in Snake River in some way,this was...

I have recently finished a small logging branchline in Nn3 for the Western Australian branch of the Australian Model Railroad Association (AMRA). We used peco z scale track and obtained a marklin z scale loco which we used as a powered caboose I then scratched built a dummy Class A climax...
