It sounds to me like the LZV100s are slowly overheating. As BigJake mentions, make sure that it is being cooled adequately. For starters, you can...
Yes, me too. I don't use magnetic uncoupling at all, and as long as cars will couple when pushed together (by a loco), and can be uncoupled using...
My observation is that the more free-rolling a car is, the more likely it is to exhibit the slinky effect. Consider the MTL retarding spring - its...

Thanks for that link - I've never seen it before, and although I knew that Kadee produced trucks with Rapido couplers I hadn't realised that they...

I haven't installed my LocobufferUSB on a Vista system, but I have installed it on Win 7 and Win 10 systems. Be aware that there are two parts to...
All those tree look great, but the modelling in that first photo with the trees along the river bank is truly excellent.
Years ago I noticed that several of my seven SD-24 locos could (literally) pull only half the number of cars that some of the others could. The...
EDIT: I was thinking of N scale when I wrote the following reply, but in hindsight, the OP didn't actually say what scale he was referring to. So...
Absolutely. If you're getting a yellowish tint then your current lamps are probably around 3000K. 5000-5500K is similar to midday sun. 6000+K...
I've been using a Badger like that for more than 30 years to paint rolling stock, locos and structures, and it has never let me down. I also own...
There are many videos on the care and use of airbrushes on YouTube, and I recommend that you watch some of them. This one briefly discusses your...

Five or six years back, I installed #60052 wheels on a bunch of very light gons to increase their weight a little, and they've given me no...
I've bought quite a number of different Chinese trees from ebay, but never found any that I was totally happy with. In the end, I've resorted to...
