    F7's

    Thank you for all your input. I went to the show yesterday and found a set package of Micro-Trains FT A/B units, new, for half price. I was a little skepticle of the price, I couldn't remember the internet price, but once I got them home and ran them. Wow, they are the smoothest, quietest...

    F7's

    Thanks David. I really don't care which FT, F7, F3, whichever as long as it has those romantic curves of the nose, and runs well. I would like to choose a light color as I would like to repaint it close to the colors of the "The Texas Special". With my paint skills, I'm sure it will look...

    Guys I need some help. I want to purchase an F7 A/B unit/set , or similar, and have no clue which is good, or which is crap. I am looking at the Micro-Trains EMD FT as that is close to the style and color scheme I want. What are your views of this outfit? There was another company I was looking...

    Shhhhh--crossing over

    Hi Shamus. Love the CD I bought from you. I haven't looked through all of it yet, but what I looked at so far is superb. I don't get a chance to work on a layout during the summer months. Just too much to do outside. Gearing up now though. Thank you for the welcome. Hope things are going...

    Thanks Jim. I would like not to spend too much money right now on a new scale. Last year I dove into Nscale and in the summer the wifey purchased a garden layout. I have so many buildings to build, and so much scenery items to make. But I do want a small HO layout. Mainly for under the...

    Gary, you're peaking my interest. I looked over the Bachmann and in the Spectrum series I am researching the 2-8-0 and found the Consolidation with DCC and sound. Before I get really involved in a new scale, maybe DCC should be something to think about. I know nothing about DCC. I will...

    Thanks for the information. I will have to stop by Wally World and take a look. Though, at the LHS, all they had was the Walthers kit. I may hold out for better set. I really hate buying cheap. Right now I am looking at the "ATHEARN GENESIS LIMITED ADDITION SANTA FE 2-8-2 MIKADO". I don't know...

    Shhhhh--crossing over

    Hi everyone. I have been working on an N-scale layout for several months and adding scenery and cars and just plain investing money in N-scale. I like the size for transportability and empire size. During Christmas I got out my old HO cheap set for under the tree and it's a no-go. I would...
