Advice wanted on tight radius curves in N Scale. I plan to build a streetcar layout in N scale representing a Czech town. I would like advice on the smallest...

I have just listed my upgraded Arnolf GG1 for sale, Ebay item 6018541262. I modified it with a Kato motor, a Lenz LE0511 DCC decoder, low profile wheels, MT...
I've made 3" radius curves with Atlas to see if it would work. The track can take it, but many two truck trolleys can't. Single truck trolleys seemed OK, but...
The smallest redius I got from a Bachmann PCC car was 5 1/2 inches. But I would get a piece of form board and nail down a piece of flex track into a sharp...
All: My breifcase layout is about 4.1" radius. A bachmann brill runs ok. Had to modify the unit, removed one set of gears (only one truck is powered. The 4...

Hello. I wonder if anybody would be interested in lost wax cast overhead wire hangers. I'm going to cast about 100, for straight track, and curved track one...
This sounds interesting. In my experiments so far I have been using fine copper wire, individual strands from a dis-assembled length of lamp cord. I'd be...
Hal Riegger, the man many of us consider to be the "father of N scale traction," passed away last Thursday. The overhead wire system he developed has proven...
A sad day indeed. At the convention at St. Paul he was proudly showing off his functional third rail setup. It wasn't expansive, but it was functional and very...
There's simply no way I could not reply to this. Especially lately, as I find myself finally getting back into serious modelling and starting that layout I've...
Sad news. I will put the Kato EF 57 I got from him prominently in my display case. Hal changed the engine to power pickup from the catenary and it runs well. ...
Sad News. Hal was a person who got really involved in what interested him. Ten years ago, my wife and I stopped by his place in Rough & Ready, CA, on a...
