Just a rule of thumb, a 16.5 will require at least 33" in width on your HCD. Yeah, it's math. LOL
Yeah, I have to agree, Rustoleum isn't what it used to be. The few cans I have used, leak horribly from the inside of the valve. The paint pours...
For me, this is the important part! IF your other half doesn't support you in anything you do, you're going to be miserable! Yes, you are in a...
I am not an expert, but my first thought would be a thorough cleaning & lube? There is no telling (since it's used), what kind of life it had...
Considering, I might have a 110 cars total, I would have to say I'd keep them all. Sorry, I just can't help myself. And yes, I do have a small...

Okay, here is my take on the Ebay thing. I only go there when I can't find it anywhere else, on-line or locally. I am not into playing games....

I agree with the "simplified method" offered. Last year, I designed a track plan (42"X72"), using Railmodeller (Mac laptop) software, with 2...
Over all, it looks pretty good. But I would slow that train down a bit. It looks like its on steroids! LOL
Best wishes John. Just keep fighting to get "back on track". Prayers for you & the Missus.
Robert3985 hit the nail on the head! I have copy & pasted that to my files to keep & remind me later. As far as the inclines & risers, I...
Very smart idea retsignalmtr​!
Okay, let me throw my two cents in. This is a hobby. Okay. At least for me. So, I don't throw "needed" money (or money I can't afford to...
I would do a Google image search on "Small Layout Plans" or "Small N Scale Layouts". There are a lot of plans out there. You can click the link...
Back in the early 80s, while I was on my 2nd hitch in the Navy, I worked part-time at toy store down in San Deigo. I first learned of N Scale. I...
I did that once on a drunken bet when I was a teenager. A little over 20 years later, I figured a way out. I retired! LOL Seriously, I only...
