Hi Barry, Can you send me the list? krs9@mail.com
What diameter wil that lazy susan (or turntable) be? If the diameter is too small. I expect that a normal two-axle truck would bind - none of the...
The closest LGB loco I can think of is this one - but that's a 2-6-0 [IMG]
I'm not that familiar with Buddy L trains (I assume you mean the current ones, not the ones from the 1920's), but I didn't think the freight cars...
Right on! Except the "LGB 2-6-2" in the first post is not an LGB engine at all. Seems to be a Buddy L from the Heritage Express set.
Could someone post the dimensions of the USA Trains 20 and 28 ft containers? Length x Width x Height Thanks
I spoke too soon and posted something misleading. That strategy only applies to European prototype products. For US prototypes Marklin-LGB will...
The biggest radius that LGB Makes is R5 (4640mm diameter or a bit over 15 ft diameter). Those curves are meant for standard gauge trains. I rather...
I hope you are having a good time and are not getting frustrated. I know I am - having a great time I mean; more activity in this forum recently...
I see this mix up between radius and diameter in Large Scale fairly often. It's not that people don't know the difference, but - I think - it's...
I was only looking at the coning of the wheels and how that affects slippage (or not) when going around a curve, nothing else. All the other...
Well, if you need a 100 - 120 inch radius curve to accomodate a standard gauge Accucraft live-steam engine, couldn't that throw the argument that...
Very nice web site. It's true that the flanges of the wheels are normally not touching the wheels, but the reason there is no slippage (or very...
Sorry Trainman - think again. The tightness of the curve would make the situation worse, but for any curvature, no matter how gentle, the outer...
I just came across this thread because it was referenced in another thread I was reading and I would like to make some observations: 1. In the...
I think you have radius and diameter mixed up. All USA Trains engines except the BigBoy will negotiate 8-foot diameter curves, the BigBoy requires...
I think starting a manufacturer's thread in this forum would be counterproductive. If people talk about a product or feature or capability, I'm...
That's really a low blow, trainman. The Aristocraft forum is a manufacturer sponsored forum, not really comparable to the trainboard or all the...
We in Canada went from imperial (that's what the inch/foot/pound system is called) to metric about 50 yrears ago I think, but then stopped half...
Two comments trainman, three actually.......... 1. With the "alphabet soup" NMRA actually did recognize 1/29 scale on 45mm track (USA Trains and...
