Hi Folks: Since trolley643 can't recall a request for N Scale traction for a national convention, let me be the first to invite him and all of you to such an ...
Hi Gil: Thanks for the offer. I assume the diorama is N Scale, although since Fred built it and he is an HOer, it could be HO. Nice looking. Regards, John ...

Welcome to our wild and crazy world! Your request for how-to documentation is a good idea; I am not skilled enough in any of those areas to write it (I've...
Jeremy- Some of that is already posted on this website (see the link in the footer for the group website and then go to the Files section). There is a folder...
Finally, the first "local" show wanting traction...too bad I no longer have any traction modules! It also stinks that it's the same weekend as my club's...
Don't waste your time hand-laying track. Waste it hanging wire. Using the Tomix track makes street running easy. And the new Tomix Tram track takes all the...
Ttrak is also a great option for small display layouts. our group (www.japanrailmodelers.org ) is working on street car, standard spaced ttrak modules on...
Michael responded before I could say exactly what he said. EasyTrolley is a name for a way to use the Tomix track and street system for temporary layouts built...
I'm sorry you've lost equipment while promoting the hobby. My experience has been quite different with public shows. In eighteen years of N-Trak displays in...
T-Trak's original intention was to provide a small, traction based module system (as Lee Monaco relayed to me). She brought it to my attention back in 99 at...
How well did the overhead fair at the joints between modules? Did it have to be replaced often? Were you guys using pole or pans? The Sourcebook talks about...
... In general, it was fine every 4 to 6 feet (but every foot like it would be on T-Trak...I'm not so sure about). ... The overhead? No. ... I used poles, but...
There are three different tram drives available in the Japanese market that can be bought on eBay from Plaza Japan and others. These all appear to be the same...
The difference is the side frames. None of them representing classic North American prototype. These chassis and matching trucks are made to fit BanDai B-Train...
This week on The Rail Channel there is a film called ""Before The Wires Came Down" It is about the Springfield Terminal Railroad. The images in the film scream...
Sounds great! Too bad I don't have the Rail Channel, nor have I heard of it before. Must be something up the Chicago way. :-) Do they have a website? ...

Off topic, but I too watched "The General" a couple of nights ago. Great shots of authentic ancient equipment..... but the story line doesn't follow the...
The later Disney version of the film was closer to the historic events.... I imagine they made the ending happier than what happened in real life, but at least...
My sincere apologies to Charlie for ruffling his feathers. I have a great respect for what Hal Riegger started, (along with Jim Stanley,) and tend to retaliate...
Corky- No problem.... the only ruffle was caused by not knowing what triggered the notion that I had / have something against NCAT..... as I stated, the only...
At 1 PM today Turner Classic Movies will be broadcasting 'Government Girl' 1943 a lousy wartime movie about a 'Dollar a Year' man who volunteers to help the...
This will be great. I have the Bachmann HO scale Peter Witt and the O Scale Bachmann/Williams Peter Witt (a beautiful model I could not resist). The n-scale...
