$35 is a deal! Go for it!
I'm sorry if anyone was offended by my saying that "N scale doesn't run" I guess that was an oversimplification. I didn't say it to belittle...
Why HO? Letsee.... N scale don't run... Never did like the 3rd rail in O gauge, and when I started, all the S scale was American Flyer, and O...
Thanks for the link. That is what I was planning on doing if I can't find a kit that is closer to the prototype. I have heard a rumor that Trout...
