Definitely incompatible with UniTrack unless the clip on the end of the E-Z-Track is cut off OR a section cut out of the end of the UniTrack roadbed (to clear...
A club member has just bought the Kato El Cap and the Super Chief from the latest runs. I have not seen them yet but he made some comments I am curious to see...
Hi Folks, I am using Atlas code 55 track and Tortoise turnout machines. Now common practice is to position the turnout machine directly under the centre of the...
Does anyone out there have a spare IHC carousel gear/motor set they could part with at a reasonable price? Thanks in advance. Dennis Lloyd denlloyd@......
Dennis, those motors were pretty poor, they are not geared.. you might also check ebay as you can find a lot of nice low rpm geared motors for $5-10 that will...
Hi all, IHP now has a store on Shapeways selling N scale items. You can see it here: http://www.shapeways.com/shops/ihphobby Shapeways works like this: you see...
The Athearn / MDC Roundhouse caboose is a 30 Foot car which is very common for cabooses from 1880 onwards. The car is a D&RGW prototype which was selected...
I still really think that a 30' caboose would not be very common in 1880. 28' box cars were more the norm at that time. It is great to see that Microtrains...
Ken- The size of the cars were determined by the interior accommodations. The 28' car is only two feet shorter than the 30' and both were used by my favorite...
Hi Charlie, The 2-6-0 is also not likely actually N scale of course so the body is likely scaled up to look correct on our 9mm track. It looks good to me when...
Good evening, I have an Atlas code 80 bridge(with track) that I would like to connect to Atlas code 55 track. Are there any" dual" code joiners available that...
I've not heard of any. I had the same problem in reverse. Connecting Microtrains code 55 on their bridged to Atlas flex track. As best I recall, I used the...
The old technique is to put the code 80 joiner to the rail, then carefully crunch it down so it is the correct height to place the cd55 rail on top. After...
Most take a rail joiner, attach it to the code 80, and then smash (crimp) the remainder to form a base to set the code 55 on. Solder both together and you...
... Same solution I've done here: a Kato double track truss (code 80) TO ME code 55 flex: replace the bridge track with two pieces of ME 55 "Bridge" flex. Enzo...
As my layout has grown I've found the need to be able to operate more locomotives. Originally a DC 2 cab layout, I'm planning to take it up to 4 cab control. I...
Found this site where you can download images to be used to print advertising hoardings. http://www.thaimrr.com/thaimrr2/index.php/thaimrr-free-download ...
In your transition blocks, you could either add another toggle switch to switch between the A/B cab toggle and the C/D cab toggle, or replace these three...
Hi everyone- I've been busy prepping my peco turnouts for use, but have questions about modifying them for better electrical performance. As you may know, when...
Hi Alex, I'm a Brit and I still live here so I have a cheaper supply of Peco points than you, although that could be corrected! Now I assume that you are using...
Hi Alex, I would love to see a photo of what you have done. I am not sure that I fully understand but the idea of drilling and soldering is always better then...
It seems folks are misunderstanding what I want to do. I do NOT want to power the frog. I do NOT want the turnouts to be power-routing. I want to make better...
