I have claimed an Eheim Trolleybus as part of a sale on a board related to one of my other hobbies (haven't got it, yet) for $20. The bus is...
I have finally decided to get into Z scale, as I don't have the room for a permanent HO scale layout. I've picked Marklin, as for one they're made...
I think I've figured out where the shavings "might" be coming from. I removed the shell and weight block, and then set the rest on the track I...
I've misplaced the front coupler at the moment (put it in my small loco parts box, I think). The coupler is virtually the same as a standard hook...
It had to have been from the previous owner. The locomotive came in a Cox locomotive's box, which was missing the plastic film on the front and...
Where can I find exploded diagrams to specifically my F7, as so far all I've found is instructions for a Proto 2000 by Walthers-Lifelike, which I...
Duplicate post.
The locomotive was sold as untested, but I tested it and it runs fine, and the light works as well. I had it running around the track quite a few...
Just today, I removed the shell of my Life-Like Spirit of '76 F7, so I could clean and lubricate it (I bought it secondhand about a week ago)and...
My secondhand Tyco train power pack just got very hot and started stinking with a sort of a something rotten kind of odor. Is it time for a new...
I've been wanting a new locomotive and caboose, and to ditch Bachmann for quite a while. I found these this Tyco Spirit of '76 locomotive and...
It's $19 or Best Offer plus about $10 shipping. I was already planning on offering $10 for them. Would that be reasonable, or should I offer...
I'm considering buying a pair of old Athearn locomotives, both needing truck clips and drive belts for about $20. On one, it also needs couplers...
Knowing Bachmann's lack of reliablity, I had planned just to buy a new loco, but then I realized that even though there are plenty affordable used...
Way back in springtime, I first learned Preiser had a set of two firefighters, the Jaws of Life with spreader and cutter, and 2 EMTs, one of which...
I think I'll do just that. Change the lead car to having front horn couplers, then the Kadee Couplers normally used by Bachmann on the back, so...
The one in my area has been rumored to a front for drug dealing, according to my grandparents. They won't let me go for that reason alone....
Surprisingly, only maybe two of the Atlas pieces had a tiny bit of oxidation, as if they were kept in a closet or something for the 30+ years. And...
My first layout was likely back when Maisto made roughly N-Scale non-powered diecast train sets when I was about four or five. I had a BNSF...
I've noticed that a lot of vintage HO model locomotives and rolling stock (mostly from the 1970s and 1980s) have a completely different coupler...
