I haven't seen any issues in my testing. Since I made the specs tighter, the part of the frog where the wheel is off the rail is only about 3/8"...
Building track has always fascinated me, and a few years ago I decided to try my hand at it. The methods I've found that I like are downloading...
I've seen people do n scale tie plates before, but they were metal. Proto87 offers them, and then someone else made their own out of etched copper...
Anyone ever tried this? I got some brown paper from an art store and mocked up a huge grid of 1/160 tie plates and printed them out. Then I cut...
When I went to my LTS this past weekend they had all the Es. I've been wanting a Santa Fe E1, but I settled on the E6. It was tough to do looking...
Awesome... Thanks guys!
I'm building an A-B-B-B-A Intermountain F7 set, and I want to add sound. I was thinking of running the two A units with regular non sound TCS...
I don't have a significant other right now, but if I did, she would have to be cool with it. I think once it's done (if it ever is, right?), it...
Hey everybody, I haven't posted for a while, and I wanted to share some pics of my layout rebuild progress. I don't think I ever posted any pics...
I picked up some ME code 55 flex track, and first I noticed that there's a lot of flashing on the ties, to the point that it would almost be as...
Were you still going to post some pics?
Yeah, it's just some colgate crap. It made a slight difference in the trucks, but they could be better. My concern then is that even if I use the...
It's the 10713. I did the toothpaste and it seemed to help the trucks out a lot, but then when I installed them, it now seems to be having binding...
drasko, were you able to make the squarish part of the bottom of the boiler/smoke box round? I looked one over in my lhs the other day, and I felt...
It's got the 5 poler, so I figure it can't be that old, but I'll give it a shot.
I'm certain it's none of those things, but thanks.
Yeah they're seated. I guess I'll just see if I can get them to send me a new set.
It runs really jerky, especially at low speeds. I tried loosening the frame, and it helped a little bit, but it still did it. I took the trucks...
Has anyone else had an issue with this? I haven't seen any threads. Any suggestions besides sending them in or asking for a new pair?
I recently lowered all of my IM F7s. First I looked up inside the shell and noticed some molding protrusions so I carefully ground those off...
