Is it just me or do these @#%@^ N scale Atlas rail joiners the biggest pain in the neck? I am coming over from HO scale where I never had a...
Thanks for the input. I am still not sure how to predict when a train will be coming by. I know early in the AM there always seems to be alot of...
I live near Poughkeepsie, NY and a great place to watch CSX is along the Hudson river near and around the old Poughkeepsie train bridge (now the...
OK, the legs wont be an issue. But I do have a question on ramps (grades) using HCD. With plywood I would just use a jig saw and cut a slot in the...
Yea, that is what I am talking about! Thanks! I have been on ebay and I have won a few turnouts so of course I need to order some switches for...
The switches that come with Atlas turnouts are cheap and big. I am looking for some SPDT momentary switches for my remote turnouts. Anyone have a...
Hey guys, about to build my first N scale layout, maybe using HCD as I have no room for a 4x8. Just looking for a good HCD layout I can use. (I...
WOW! Thanks, guys. You are great and fast! I decided to go with the Zephyr because I like that it is a console and not a handheld. Also, my local...
Well guys I went out today and bought my first N scale loco, an Atlas CSX GP38-2 with Lentz decoder installed (#47826). I picked it up from my...
I am thinking about building my first N layout (a small 4x8 with about 4 or 5 engines). All my previous layouts, HO, have been DC. I plan to go...
Hey guys, I found another layout that I may be able to build however it is an HO layout and I don't know how to convert to N. The layout is from...
Thanks for the info. I will be just a beginner with DCC and N scale so I don't need the best. But what do you mean when you say the decoder is not...
Thanks for the links. I asked about the DCC decoder locos because I figure I will be buying them before I buy a DCC controller. I have a few...
Been looking more around and have found some CSX Atlas engines for a good price, like $109 for an CSX Dash 8-40B from Atlas with DCC. Question...
Is this some kind of sick joke or what ? 8-) I went to Walters and Trainworld.com looking for CSX N scale engines from Kato and Atlas and I...
Regarding the double crossing I just realized that I need to keep on my toes with two trains running to avoid collisions. Upon looking at this...
Thanks everyone for your input. I was hoping Atlas and Kato would be in the list but I wasn't sure as I went to my local train store and he like...
I am a transplant from HO where I built a layout back in the early 90's. I stopped back around 2000 when I had to leave the layout. Back then...
Yes, that layout. I would build it as is, no changes. Looking at it closer, it is only 6.25' feet, not 7.5'. And I am thinking the design may call...
Well, I bought a book from Atlas and found a layout that looks very nice and is the kind of layout I was looking for. It is called the Gulf Summit...
