... I had one when I was in college, but that was in the late fifties; I wasn't aware of one being available in 1954. Unfortunately both the HO and N scale...

Hi Al, The HO trolleybuses appear regularly on Ebay. An N-scale trolley bus was also manufactured on the 1970s, and there was a Faller (also sold as Aurora...
Ken- I sent an email to NWSL to see if they have replacement gears (anyone know), but I haven't heard back from them yet... If they don't I am going to explore...
Hi everyone- I'm having fits of gigantism...I've been thinking of modeling HO trolleys! (N scale on the lower level of the layout and HO above) Help me before...
Well you do know that Tomix has modular tram track coming out in 70mm straight, 140mm straight and curves in 103mm, 140mm and 177mm in July? Kato has a low...
nah, it's not the availability of stuff...just big models entering my mind! I think it's the thought of better detailing possibilities or more realistic...
Why not? I've had a strange dream too... I've actually considered building a 1:22.5 scale work motor (open deck, pole in the middle, curved dash on each end,...
Take a look at S gauge. Quite a bit available now. Check the new S gauge Yahoo site. John Armstrong ... From: Alex Postpischil To: nscaletraction List ...
How about T scale?! you can cut out about 40% of the length of a 18m car! now that would be fun! jeff ... [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]...
Alex, You do realize that moving to HO means more… * Expense * Frustration * More detail that has to look right * Fruitless searches for parts that aren't...
Now there is some solid argumentation against it. Remember, it can be done in N!! That was my N Scale groups motto, and still is. Have fuN (fuH0 simply doesn't...
If you get WHITE gears as replacements your problem will never be fixed. You must get BLACK gears. They are made of a different plastic that is stronger. They...
Hey Alex, I was in HO and did PE. Loved it. BUT, the only way to do PE was BRASS. Expensive!!!! I went to N do do more in a smaller space then found MBE did...
Alex, I personally skipped over HO, and went straight to O. Photos of the PRR catenary project in progress: http://pics.livejournal.com/hiroe/gallery/0001e4ah ...
Drew, I'm sorry to hear about your struggles. The modules that were damaged are a great loss. But, maybe the time for that project has ended. Selling off those...
Drew- Sorry to hear about the thievery...nothing that cutting off their hands won't cure... I hope you don't fully give up on N scale. If you are interested I...
One thing I'm finding is that there is a lot of useful modeling info in some of these old magazines... One mag from '72 had a lot of good images of wirework...
Please excuse the previous junk. I just had an email conversation with Joe at http://islandmodelworks.com/index.html They produce various commuter type...
You seem to work quite fast. I note that a 4000 series EL car was available in April of 2010! Hmmm, and it's now May. Mr. Ken Krizanic Adjunct Faculty Triton...
I can not take any credit for the 4000. Although Joe told me that he is revising his original design to work with a Tomix chassis. That is why it is not out...
After looking at that video and seeing others of the real world. I know many of us have embedded our rails in the street. Does anyone have grass between the...
I don't... at least partially because I could never figure out how to make it look convincing in N scale (even HO would be difficult, I imagine). In one scene...
On my rural ROWs I've put grass (ground foam) between the rails. I have yet to try to taller grasses (stalk type), but may once I have the layout built... ...
