I like N because like others have posted, you can run believable length trains on realistic curves and you don't need to use selective compression...
Train shows have become as much of a tradition as train stores. It's waaaaaay much more than the bargains. It's seeing all that stuff for sale,...
A good start would be an Atlas Trainman GP-15 set. It comes with a great engine and good power pack. The price is right too. woo woo woo Klien has them for...
I bit the bullet the other night and blasted my 10 car daylight set through the double crossover on my Unitrack layout at full throttle. She...
I tried to buy some CC 86 ft hy cubes on ebay a few weeks ago. There were several listed. However, I tangled with snipers on each aution and lost....
I got mine and it is a silky smooth runner. When I first ran it, it began to lurch and squeal on curves. The mechanicals seemed dry. First I...

Etail cannot compare to a well stocked LHS. An LHS is a great escape from the daily grind and gives you instant gratification. You get to browse...
Charlie, my point was if the market wants more daylights, and Kato don't make them, someone else will. We have 3 different manufacturers offering...
Well OK. You steered me straight. Micro Trains has given me the impression of limited edition with terms like "series" or "releases". Dealers are...
As others say it's making enough to sit on the shelf for a year or so. Any longer and the space on the shelf becomes lost profit. It's difficult...
My guess is the blue trucks on the ATSF NW2 is the result of some craze started by Micro Trains and/or Lionel (O gauge) coloring the trucks to...
I assumed only Espee had GS-4's when I posted which is why I made the comment about lots of tooling to pay off. I thought Western Pacific got a...
