Pretty much everything on my flex track layout is soldered except the duckunder bridge and at the ends of a very long straight viaduct. But the...
I've got a rechargeable airbrush and like it. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08CX8BM9M I've used to for weathering. I can't imagine having...
Manufacturers avoid releasing proprietary data about their sales because it gives their competition an advantage. Also, do you measure sales by...
Simplest solution is adding an IR emitter and sensor to either end of the length of track that the crossing is on, so that when a train is...
Thx for this. I ordered a 12 pack from Lombard Hobbies.
Can someone point me to the proper metal wheels for MTL roller bearing trucks? I'd like to try them on a coal hopper to see if they roll farther...
Never seen any deterioration. My Peco C55 turnouts were installed over 25 years ago. They are an order of magnitude more robust than Atlas, my...
I use standard Peco Electrofrogs in the yards. The one shorty I used has been replaced, not because cars couldn't handle them but because it...
Anyone know what happened to Moose2013? Used to post regularly, hope he's OK.
In depth discussion, not sure if you need to join nScale.net to see it and the server has been slow lately:...
Cool approach. Minimize the rise per revolution as much at you can. Can the roadbed be thinner? Here's why. NMRA RP height clearance is 1.73...
For the tank car you want short shank roller bearing.
I always brighten up when I see there is a new Train scene in Japan posting here. Thanks for bringing us with you! Btw, since those catalogs...
Ditto on @umtrr-author. I have dozens of those hoppers, all with short shank roller bearing trucks. Medium shanks space them farther apart.
It looks like it will work as is. You won't be able to turn an engine so CCW all the way. You labeled the top as main but the oval will be your...
The bridge in the pic is cable stayed, technically not suspension. A famous rail suspension bridge spanned the Niagara River once.
You can always kit bash. The deck truss approach bridge is made from three Kato through truss single tracks. Dunno why it needs to be upside...
The problem may not be the motor. As a test you can touch DC to the motor tabs and see if it turns.
Never heard the term "matchbook turnout" before, can you explain? Kind of interested since mine are 25 years old.
Probably the best graphic presentation I've ever seen, about the zenith of steam loco engineering. I can't imagine how long it took to create...
