I bought the Bachmann Thomas with Annie and Clarabel. Fun stuff! When my son was young, we'd go to the hobby shop and buy the metal Thomas trains...
Both sides. If you only have them on one side, and there's a train there, the train on the other track won't be able to see it. Knowing where you...
They're good cars. I have quite a few of them, and recently preordered some of the SP bulkhead cars that they just announced. I'm hoping they...
I think the most offensive thing listed is a shop wanting a $100 deposit....
So sorry to hear this. I have 20 tunnel motors and 8 F units which I checked a few weeks ago. None had zinc rot. Zero. Why the difference? I'd...
Welcome! Sorry I can't answer your question. I just wanted to welcome you to the board.
I have metal wheels from probably every manufacturer on my fleet. They're all acceptable, except for the early Micro Trains, which didn't roll...
Thanks for the tips. My son has a 50 gallon compressor that he was keeping here, but now it's gone. About all I ever used it for was adding air to...
I need to buy an air compressor for the garage. I'm thinking one of those smaller 2 gallon size ones, good for inflating tires, or running a nail...
There's been a few over the years packed in foam, usually cars with loads. And my first engine was a Marx 0-4-0 in Penn Central.
Cool! I'm thinking of buying one for the unique factor. I'll admit, it probably won't get too many laps on the layout, but it's nice to know that...
Straight portion will be fine.
I bought a new Kato SD70 about two years ago that was dead out of the box. Nobody's perfect.
Well, the good thing is, IM has another run of SD40T-2s planned. I reserved mine March 2015. Any day now.....
I just finished checking my 19 tunnel motors and 8 F7s and thankfully everything is okay. I'm sure I've bought some from every run that IM has...
I haven't looked at some of my IM in a few years. Quite honestly, I'm afraid to.
I'll buy one. Because Kato. I'm also in for a Charger or two.
I ran my Big Boy on the V16 set not that long ago with no problems. That's the 480/447 radius set. I know I've run my FEF on it also but it's been...
I use those Plano boxes to store my Atlas articulated auto racks. That way I don't have to disassemble them every time I put them away.
It's a giant global conspiracy. Seems like out of about 7-8 manufacturers of N scale metal wheels, there's maybe one or two that will actually...
