Matthew, If your speaker wire is the clear sheathed kind you might find at Radio Shack or some electronics store, then your speaker wire is good enough to ...
hi: since you cant get insulated rail joiners just use your dremel tool or a track saw and cut thru the track and fill the gaps with glue, let it dry and...
Why ruin a tie with huge ugly holes? Use some CA glue to hold the tie in place. Clean, neat, and no ugly soot to get all over the tie......and, no holes to...
Robert, Yes, the AZL Bethgons are definitely out there and running on layouts. First, you can find photos, product numbers and roadnumbers in each set at: ...
Robert: They look and sound [metal wheels] good - couplers are a pain unless you keep them coupled as a group all the time. Try Loren for quantities from 1 on...
... Were these loops properly working in the beginning? And did you isolate each rail in order to change polarity prior to returning to main track? In the case...
... So if I've properly understood that's it: without any isolation the (+) rail comes back on the (-) stockrail, thus the short. In my opinion you should cut...
... If you're using sectional track, simply cut a gap between two rails. If you're using flextrack that's better to put an insulating joiner and if your local...
MattThe wire is not the problem. The reversing loops must be isolated. I do not know where the actual placement of the isolating gaps should be. There...
The BNSF AZL Bethgons set in my opinion, a new benchmark for Z Scale rolling stock to achieve. The printing is very crisp and well defined, including printing...
Now that the on-line store is closed, does anyone know a good source for Zthek products (other than the snail-speed controllers)? I'm specifically interested...
Andy of Proto87, the HO manufacturer, posted on Z-Bend Track that he was planning to produce Z turnout kits and track laying material. Check out the following...
Jeff, This sure would be good news for us NA type flex track folks who are looking for good looking, affordable turnouts in several sizes. And what is wrong...
Loren, Amen, brother. 15° & 22° crossover tracks would be phat when building a complex railyard that is prototypical. Number 10 turnouts would turn some...
Reynard, Could this be the year that Z really hits us between the eyes with all sorts of new items?..........I think so and hope so. Heaven knows Karin and I...
Yes you've got it. I was thinking along the same lines so I went out today and purchased a twin contol box for loops and it gives complete instalation...
Thanks Tom and Loren. Those are some of the things I will be looking at when it comes time for the final construction phase and everything gets put in place...
... I appreciate the comments. Wish I knew someone else in Z. Being in the back country, lucky to know other modelers in any scale. Loren, Anthony ?? Thanks,...
Loren: ljsnyder@... Sells primarily Micro Trains and AZL. Located just a couple of miles away from MTL factory in Oregon. Is at MTL nearly daily and...
Robert, We should talk......about a lot of things.........I'm a dental technician and I speak your language, not only in teeth, but also I understand some ...
SEARAILS IS PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE THREE NEW PRODUCTS; A. RR-100 – $50.00 DISCOUNTED ADVANCE PURCHASE PRICE for "J" Class 2-8-2 Mikado shell. Quotations...
I have 72 of the BNSF Bethgons. Unfortunately they are all sold out or I would manage to get more. They are as great if not greater than what Robert Ray has...
OK Searails, you convinced my very leery soul to want your new Mikado shell
because I'm hungry for new steam loco, so much so that I sought out and
bought a...
For my birthday this year I have decided to put my diningroom set in mothballs. I am replacing it with a large z scale layout. That is the glory of being a...
Hi Searails, I too am very tempted by the Mikado Steamer as steam is what I like most in the hobby and real life but I agree with Karin the complicated pricing...
I thought it was the best gift I could receive. And who better to give it to me than me. Besides I need something that big to hold all of the scratchbuilding...
