Matthew, Your layout is looking great! Keep up the good work. Patrick
Very interesting! Like seeing these pics! Patrick
Matthew, I'm enjoying watching the progress on your layout. Keep it up! The photo of your son reminds me of my oldest son. He picked up his...
Folks, I'm trying to get an IHC SP 2-6-0 Mogul up and running again after a long period of down time. The motor mount overheated and melted...
Maybe you need to switch back to HO scale? Pat
I've used the WSC risers on a 4x8 railroad, and they work pretty well. They sure are a lot easier, and less messy, than cookie-cutting plywood....
I picked up the radius info for the Peco ST244/245 from a post on a Yahoo Groups site. This is one of the first places I've ever found that info,...
I have an older IHC 2-6-0 that ran wonderfully on my store layout for quite a while, until the motor mount got a little too warm and deformed....
I suspect that a 22" minimum would be the absolute smallest radius you could use. A 24" minimum would be a little better. I've used Peco...

I've seen the work done by Emperor of the North, at the 2009 NSC Convention in Portland last summer. It looked very professional and very good to...

The Atlas MP15-DC is available as both DCC-ready and DCC-installed. Both TCS and NCE offer a drop-in decoder: the NCE NMP15, and the TCS MP15N....
Sounds like you got a great deal, and turned it into an even better one! Good job! Pat
I am so sorry to hear about Wayne's passing. I had the opportunity to communicate with him through Trainboard a few years ago, and enjoyed...
HO and N scale, with a little Lionel for around the Christmas tree! Pat
I think you might need a whole string of these solar cells to power a model locomotive! Still, it's neat to see how the state of the art in solar...
The Sumpter Valley Railway has a diesel like this in their engine shed. In fact, it might already be painted in the same paint scheme. I don't...
I've just been amazed at all the pictures. And they keep coming! Wonderful! Keep up the great work! Pat
I agree with mtntrainman, Kato makes some very nice track. I've used Atlas track in the past, both sectional and flextrack, and you can make a...
