One thing that might help is to stop giving so much attention to huge, basement-sized layouts. The American dream is dead for a good chunk of the...
I'll be using Peco code 55 on my upcoming layout.

No question about it. The only reason I can think of to go with DC is if you've already got a layout that's wired that way and don't want the...
I don't see why it should be "very problematic." Reverse loops require some special attention, but nothing that daunting. Are you using DC or DCC?
They're described as having MTL couplers. I guess the Vlk couplers still aren't ready.
DCC makes pretty much everything easier. For a while I held off on switching, but now you couldn't pay me enough to go back to DC. Just getting...

OK, great, that's what I was looking for, thanks.
It's not so much the proximity of the switch that concerns me. I could move the bridge a bit further away easily enough. It's the fact that the...
Hi everyone, I'm working on a new layout design and could use a little advice. Here's the plan: [IMG] The small bridge going over the road...
I'm firmly in the "good" camp. I, for one, love being able to open up a jewel case and see a fantastic looking locomotive that's ready to hit the...
Gotcha, thanks very much.
Quick question: Is it possible to fit a first-run (1991) Kato SD40 shell onto the 2002-release DCC-friendly SD40-2 chassis?
