You can also use the “givens and druthers’ idea.you list on paper what you must have in your layout (the givens) and then list the things you...
Just wondering - could you cut back the tunnel a bit instead of removing track?
I’m so sorry! I have the Atlas kit, not the Walthers.
I will look tomorrow. I have that kit and am planning to install it soon.
Stephane, I just picked up this thread and have found it interesting because my last layout suffered from many of the problems you’re having. I’m...
There’s some good ideas here. Thank you. I’ll have to ponder it some more. Thankfully the train area wasn’t damaged from the water, so there’s no...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] My train room is in the basement. We had some water damage and as a result we’re having the vinyl flooring replaced. The trains...
These fit perfect in the era I'm modeling. I'll probably get some. I wonder if the 2 pack includes the same color choice for both vehicles? A...

Yes, I did clean the wheels. I used the same commutator cleaning pad and actually burnished them to remove the wheel blackening stuff. They're as...
I am using an NCE Powercab. I have a variety of decoders, Digitrax, NCE and TCS. The feeder wires I attached by soldering to the outside of the rails.
Ok guys, I am so frustrated right now. I just spent 40 minutes of trying to run trains and gave up. I switched to DCC about 2 months ago. Prior to...
I like it. One thing I did on my layout was write out a list of industries I wanted based on the type of cars I like. That helps plan out how much...
Apparently they did. Here's one at my LHS. Not EXACTLY like what you want, but close.
I have a few on my layout. 4 I think. I've had to replace one because I was getting derailments, then through my own stupidity I ruined the points...
I don't think so. This is the only one I have where I've noticed this problem. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
