Any thoughts on how best to approach? Thinking that putting things in lots might be prudent, so that it is less work, but moves stuff. Does...
Hey all, I'm a member from the early 2000's checking back in. My interest in n scale has waned a lot since 2004 or so. In that time, I moved,...
It could be the joints between the motor and the trucks. perhaps those are binding? Though it does sound like the circuit board is not making...
To clarify - I have ~15 loco's with Decoders (all Digitrax 163 series IIRC) generally they have all played nicely with one another, this is the...
Dave B wins the gold star for the day!!! That was the exact issue, thank you very much!!! Interesting, I made several searches, but could not...

I am in a similar quandry--have all the pieces of my previous layout in the new basement, and have drawn a scale drawing of all the pieces and the...

A year ago, my wife and I moved into a new to us house, and after a busy year, it is time to start serious thinking/building of a new layout. I...
So what are you all using for track joiners between sections? During my recent move, I discovered that just cutting the rails at the section...
I have been away from model railroading for about a year due to a move. The good news is that I now have finished space available for a layout,...

That looks to be a creative and unique solution to the challenge. I am very interested in how you proceed with it, especially the transitions...
My wife and I got there at about 0930 on Sat, and found it not too crowded. However, by 11, it was jamming. SInce the locations of most booths...
