When I say "proto-typical" I meaning the AccuMate knuckle couplers which ship with Atlas engines as opposed to the "C-Type" Rapido couplers (I've been cautioned before for using this term, prototypical). The trade off to my recommendation with "bending" the brass piece is that you will have...

Roger, Here's my .02 cents worth. I've been running N-Scale for about 5 years now and run pretty tight radius on my layouts as well. I model modules and this is a common practice for me. My first was a 3 1/2 by 5. My resolution is two fold. (all you rivet counters should skip to the next...

I'm afraid I can't match the previous response by "Woodie" but I can add from my experience. I go to Walmart for my acrylics which I pay .89 cents. I also use the acrylics for structures, rolling stock and motive power wheathering (chalk as well from Walmart for weathering) and scenery. Hope...

Woodie, I appreciate you reply. The site you provide was great but they still didn't tell me what type of train it was. I searched Google for railtown 1897 and came up with the following link: http://www.colegroup.com/miscellanea/w-mrrr/sierra/ I sent them an email so we'll have to see if...

Can someone tell me what the Train Engine was that pushed the Delorean in Back to the Future part III? Can you name a resource on the web which may have the information? ------------------

Michal, You may want to start a new thread when you switch topics. As for the picnic tables Walthers has a few picnic tables on their list. I remember seeing some good picnic tables in their catalog. If you go to the Walthers website at http://www.walthers.com in their search type in picnic...

I appreciate everyones reply to this. I think I've used their side walk before but wanted to see a picture. Not a problem. Rory, thanks for the link. It appears to have good supplies. Once again thanks for everyones feed back. To answer the original thread: I use styrene and joint...

Yes, in most DCC systems you can run analog on the 0 circuit. I can control one analog engine from my DCC control unit (DigiTrax). A lot of anolog trains run poorly on the digital track. Kato and Atlas seem to run the best. I didn't see it mentioned in earlier responses, but, Atlas is making...

With no N-Scale clubs in my area I was considering starting my own. I'm looking for a how to book or a website which may get me started. Is there a guideline for starting a N-Trak club? Is there a "Model Railroad club template" perhaps? Any help would be appreciated. Jason Furtak, Boynton...

Would you happen to have the website for Evergreen?
