Hi Stu, It was a pleasure talking with you in Philly. You seem very enthused for NTS 2007. Glad you found your way to the list here. The Z-Bend Track...
Started to lay down some track on my modules and then I had a mental block, In N-scale I lay feeders about evry length of flex track. In Z scale do i do the...
About every three feet or so is good, Stu. If you are using MTL flex track that's only about a foot long so it would be a LOT of feeders if you did one per...
We had a discussion on this back in March 2005 on the Z_Scale list. MTL rail has about the same electrical resistance as AWG28 copper wire. If a power bus of...

Thanks for the added detail, Bill. It's been awhile since I laid any track and am getting forgetful, your caveat is a reminder of other caveats. Soldering...

Hi, Jeff, if you can make 10 within 2 weeks, the Tri-State Z Scalers will buy them <seriously>. We need them for our Dec. meet and for a major train show in...
There's no way I can make 10 before then. I just got back from Europe Monday nite, have to finish my modules for a test run this weekend, go see my Mom (just...
You are so right about the wire. We can get that here for cheap. We just don't have a good source for the parts and could use some group purchase to reduce...
MIchael, I need some harness kits also if it isn't too late. I believe Brad says
that I actually need 1 1/2 straight through kits per T module and I have two...
