Thanks for the info guys, this is good stuff. The B units were indeed numbered, William - the numbers are just very, very tiny in N scale. [img]...
This is in the N scale forum rather than the ATSF railfan forum because it relates to a custom set of superdetailed N scale PA's that I'm doing...
I built a temporary EZ-track layout and left it up for a few weeks a couple years ago. My daughter was 6 at the time, and upon looking over the...
Does "Checking Out" qualify as checking in? :D I've run Z sporadically for about 10 years, but I've decided to let go of my collection to free...
Me! :D I have about 35 Katos in stock, and over 50 Atlas. No online list, but please let me know what you're looking for and I can tell you...
Has anyone found a way to visibly differentiate between the new Atlas slow speed motors and the old fast speed motors? I have not been able to...
Another opinion: regardless of whether or not it will cause an operating problem, you'll always know you're using your mainline for a switch lead....
William, don't use cardstock for anything other than buildings - not even for platforms unless they are being built completely seperate from the...
Yes, my friend! It's the method I use all over my own layout. Let's see, let me take a photo or two... [img] [img] This is N scale Atlas...
Nope, whoever told you that was mistaken. Electrical circuits are not like computer networks, where your top speed is only as fast as your slowest...
No need to cut and solder. Just replace the long (10"?) unitrack section you have there on the inside line between the turnout and the lefthand...
That's plenty of space for a great deal of fun. Are you willing to go vertical, or do you need it to be on one level? And, how many sides of the...
Erik, Have you broken it in yet? You'll get as much as a 50% performance increase after you've gotten everything seated and the flash has worn...
FG: Do you actually want to go with body mounts? They are more realistic looking, and some people prefer them for this reason (real freight cars...
Hi George (isn't it?), Professional decoder install services are a major part of my business, and I'd be happy to partner with you to get the...
If money were no object, I'd get the devolpment of our current engineering project finished at Kingdom Hobbies. The result would be the...
Andy, here's what has worked for me & the crew I run with for the past few decades, in N and HO scales: Go purchase some "doorbell wire" at the...
Don't discount the fun of an assortment of the newfangled modular track systems (Kato Unitrack, Bachmann EZ Track, etc.) for a nice way to get a...
Regarding fiddling with the brushes: Don't give up too soon - with many motor designs, you can just barely access the brushes without popping off...
Looking forward to seeing that, William! We'll all need to pull together to save you from planning too many industrial spurs that can only fit 30'...
