Thanks for all of your input gents - you have given me a lot to think about and a good start. I think I might do as JoeS said - buy some things...
I am new to Z Scale but not to the hobby. For the past decade I have had HO Scale layouts, a G Gauge layout and currently in N Scale. One of the...
I do a similar thing. Give my white plaster a coat of color, a brown, to help seal it before applying anything else. Once ground cover etc is...
Thanks mate, actually I asked for a mate but I'll let him know.
Can, for example, an OO gauge turnout be connected successfully to HO track of the same brand?
Bill, Your so right, my mistake. This "mix it yourself stuff" (can't think of the name of the top of my head, but is bought from Lowes) has...
It's a Kato so it'll be good! All of my engines bar 2 are Kato and have never had an issue with them what so ever. The other two, well, not so much.
Drywall "mud" works fine and is what I have used for along time over foam. I buy 25lb bags of the 25 minute set and mix it myself to get the...
Tony, It does look impressive, would be interested in knowing the dimensions and how much track this will use.
My latest buys: NOCH 60 pack of figures: [img] And two of my 20 ROBE BHP Ore Cars: [img] A bit of paint and the trucks put on and we're off...
By the by ... you might pay a little more for Kato engines but in the long run they really are worth it.
John, If you had that much trouble with the drop ins I don't blame you for discarding them, I would as well. As also mentioned, the only...
Personally, I have always thought that Bachmann stuff was over priced compared to that of other companies such as Micro Trains for example....
Your right about the "if you don't insulate properly" with drop in's; however if that is done as per the instructions supplied (can only reference...
Here is a comparison ... I bought 20 (yes 20) ore cars from a guy in Western Australia who produces them from a 3D printer. For the 20 cars with...
Yep it is indeed and thankfully the decoders aren't expensive and readily available. The "no questions asked life time warranty" by TCS takes a...
I was going to suggest Real Water but based on the above pictures this Deep Water stuff does look good. As for having the ends of your rivers...
Um well, and to be perfectly honest - none, I'm an N Scaler as are the majority of people in this forum ;) Good question though so, if I may,...
I finally got the nerve up to install the TCS decoder into my new Kato F7 B unit last night. Once I got the shell off the install was easy, or so...
Thanks and your right - nothing ventured, nothing gained! The other worse case scenario is I wont have a front coupler.
