Atlas hasn't done much lately that interested me (era, model, railroad, ect.) but I have some RSD4/5s on preorder, so I'm interested too. Atlas...
A busy train weekend, but probably nothing accomplished at home. Saturday a friend and I will run over to a train show in Livingston MT. It's...
Well......in the continuing saga, I just got an e-mail letting me know an item I had requested was back in stock. It looked exactly like the old...
With the Atlas, you go to edit, then create baseboard. You then left click on a start point and draw a line. When you need to change direction you...
Thanks......these weren't warranty, definitely operator error. I found the form, but couldn't find any links to parts lists.
I haven't ruled out soldering down the road, but currently no. When I laid my track, I put in feeders every other piece of flex.....when I got...
Got the fish tank done .......thanks for the suggestion Bremner, thought about running a garden hose up the stairs, but decided the exercise would...

well........I'll be in the trainroom/man cave, but I'll be working on installing a fish tank, not too much on trains. I may get a little work done...
If you are happy with what you have that's great........but if you foresee wanting new stuff you are probably better off to "plan ahead". No point...
That's really hard to answer......I've never preordered direct from Athearn. The place I preorder most of my stuff from only charges me $.01 to...
The Bachmann controllers are among the better of the "old" controllers and I still use one on my test track........but having said that a lot...
True, but if you look at the popular hobbies out there (ATVs, RVs, Boats, ect.) model railroading isn't all that expensive. And just my 2 cents,...
I have one of the Rivarossi versions. I got it in a box of "I'm throwing this stuff out, you want it?" stuff, which also included a Mikado, a...
minor plans this week.........built a Showcase truck on saturday, and have some locos that need some TLC. I have a pair of Kato NW2s that are...
