I know WHY they're hard to find right now. But does anyone have any #5s in stock? EBay is no help.
Humor me...I know DCC is the modern way to control both trains and accessories. But let's say I want the following: Signals, three-color,...
Like the other turnouts, it could be tough to find one. Like I said, you may need to learn to handlay some track!
A No. 3 wye, eh?
MSI demolished the 1941 layout and replaced it with a new one in 2002.
I highly doubt the Museum of Science and Industry layout uses R/C. There's no point, because operators don't follow their trains. It would just be...
A word of warning: the plans in the Westcott book were drawn freehand--in other words, it can be tough to match them with commercial track...
Dave, that was my thought process. I bought a lot of it at hobby shops on the East coast. Out here in the West, it's impossible to find on the...
For years--literally--I planned an HO scale ACL layout. Bought lots and lots...and lots...of rolling stock, locos, structures, you name it. But...

The shortage forced me to use ME code 55. I found I actually like it better. This is gonna hurt Atlas bad.
It isn't a plot. It was an accident. The mold(s) were damaged and had to be replaced.
How are you handling your track that you need to worry about how "robust" it is? Geez, unless you're seriously mistreating it, this isn't even...
Geez, I didn't think anyone really used dimensional lumber that large for a layout. Talk about overkill!
They'd have to have used ladders...and a straight-edge.
I believe those decals are mounted too high. The flat bottom of the decals is meant to match the bottom edge of the car... because most graffiti...
I have used kitty litter for a scenery base, but in my opinion, it is far to coarse to be used as ballast. I am a big proponent of using...
It actually doesn't need to be 100% dry to paint it. You're good to go any time.
It is unfortunate when someone steps up to give us definitions but clearly doesn't have the right information. It is lucky we have been able to...
Well, now that Atlas's unfortunate problem made their code 55 flex unavailable, I am using ME code 55 instead and--surprise!--I like the ME...
