I use a little alcohol and it cleans the soot and light dirt with each pass. I like them. Adds another layer to the cleaning protocol. Trey
Supposed to be connected by phasing gears to a single output shaft. Very interesting design. Trey
I use all three mentioned above based on the project. I lean towards Tamiya liquid most. The Testors with the needle tip is good if you are a glue...
Check out youtube for videos for magnetic uncoupling. There is a guy that uses cylindrical magnets to uncouple cars. He used two rows between the...
Yes, Rokuhan track is much better, and they have a vast selection of different pieces. It is the Zscale equivalent of Kato. Trey
Based on Spooks review, it looks like this project was off the rails from the get go. I also had my eye on these. Really too bad. Trey
I thoroughly enjoy seeing samples of everyone's work, but I wish more would tag a bit of info along with the pictures for reference. Trey
You need to add the two screws to the bottom of the turnouts for non-power routing setting. Or you you could power both loops of track. Default...
The A031 fits all the middle cars per the pdf instructions on the website. Trey
For plain DC Use the Rokuhan light Boards. A031 for the powered car and A030 for the non powered cars. Pretty simple install. Be careful of the...
Absolutely. I love it. You get better flow, better heat transfer, and less time with the iron on the joint, which means less likely that you melt...

Scenic express gypsolite works like plaster, but has a gritty texture. When painted it looks more like rough ground. You can't cast rocks with it,...
I have one in N and one in Z and absolutely love them both. Each successful loop gets better and better. I try to run them often and things give...
I have one with basically two ovals. I have multiple feeders and run only one controller. No insulators and everything works great. nothing to...
Looks pretty good. I did one similar, but more square and an over and under instead of the crossover. The Rokuhan track works very well. I wish...
Very nice job. It's easy to overthink it and disappear down the rabbit hole. The elevations flow nicely and fit with each other. I also like the...
I think it is easier to solder solid wire to the joiners. I remove them from the plastic piece and solder to the bottom. Some flux makes it go...
I would be interested. After learning to handle and tweak N scale, then Z scale, I wouldn't be afraid of T scale. It's been a bit since I looked...
I came up with a track plan and then fitted benchwork to hold it. The scenery was just winging it. I did what fit in the space.It was a great...
