I couldn't disagree more, Bert... hand-laying Is FAR worth the effort when you're trying to get the most realism possible. It may take longer, but that makes...
I agree, Ed. At one time I used Micro Engineering rail (all codes) exclusively until I became aware of the LaVancil rail in code 81 (which immediately ceased...
Hey Ed, I'm finally getting back to this between snow storms. There is no continuity between the top and bottom of the throw bar. It's actually a matter of...
I use power points for my switches. (I'm non-DDC.) I had just replaced a throw bar on one of my older switches and it was shorting out. First of all, I use a...

Bert, It all depends on what you want from model railroading in general and S gauge in particular. Do you enjoy other aspects of modeling in S other than being...
Bob, you son-of-a-gun, you did it!!! I unsoldered the throw bar and still had the short. After reading you post I removed all the spikes from one of the...
Happy New Year everyone! I certainly agree with Ed L. I must have 50 or more turnouts by Eshleman, Tomalco, Shinohara, Old Pullman & I don't remember who else...
I'll only need a couple right now (probably more later for kit-bashing), so that'll make it an even 50. Mark Plank ... -- Got No Time? Shop Online for Great...

<sigh> I already broke a New Year's resolution - this one to proofread before sending an e-mail. It looks like my math background consisted of counting on my...
Hi All -- Robert is correct, but there are many places that spikes can complete the circuit as I have discovered. Check that they are not bridging the...
... Mark....In spite of any mathematical errors, the diaphragms are still ahead of the X-29s! 75 to 62 at last count. And, some consideration should be given...
... Hi Bob....If your track and wheels are both in gauge, there is no reason to modify anything for the sole purpose of using DCC. All of the hull-a-bull-loo...
Bob, The initial idea of going DCC can be a little scary, but I assure you it's easier than getting the clock on your VHS/DVD to stop blinking! If your...
My bug of interest in "modern" stuff has bitten again... so does anyone know if an SD-45 or SD-45-2 (brass or plastic) has ever been produced in S scale? If...

John, I use Micro Engineering code 83 and 70 for S standard gauge, code 70 and 55 for narrow gauge. Most standard gauge on my layout under construction will ...
