Thanks! SD74, THANKS for starting this thread! And thanks also to the posters. Great info right here I need now, even a few years later. Ric
Howdy y'all - I have a HO-scale, standard gauge, Bachman 0-6-0 tank switcher painted/undec., and have thus far been unable to discern which (if...
That is a great observation! The continually-improving trucks/wheels and couplers make "local" uncoupling better and better. The Sergent...
With a little fussing, phosphor-bronze shoes may be an answer to reliable pick up with the Kato rigid wheelbase drives. Somebody above asked...
I agree about the track-planning software. The one I have (Empire Express) is real easy to use for concepts and visualizations, but no way would...
Don't neglect the vertical curves (one each top and bottom) required to transition into and out of the grade. You may lose 18"-20". Try mocking...

My impulse buy (just came this evening) is a Bachmann H16-44 in B&O dress. Glad I did. I had assumed these units were "toys". This one's pretty...

Without getting into a political diatribe, it's difficult to express my thoughts on this situation. I read somewhere (Mother Jones?) that...
Depending on the part of Texas, a cottonseed oil plant is a possibility for outside a small town.
This is a mighty interesting situation, to say the least! If only Jim Fisk was around to see it.
THANKS!!! Many thanks Dave, Skunk, and Jack! I like all three of the operating options, and will allow all this to "ferment" between my ears for...
