    Does anybody else have problems with this forum locking up your computer?

    Dont be scared to use Firefox only here, use it everything and forget IE. Virus/hackers focus on IE more because lots of people use it, and the software is not well written. Firefox is more secure and overall better.

    how many kilometers can an N/Z scale train last for?

    I've thought I should add what I learnt recently. Though it is not in kilometers, but in hours. If you run it 4 hours a day, 7 days a week, then you would need servicing in about 2 months. After about 1000 hours, you would need to replace the motor.

    Just curious to know how long these small scale trains can travel for before you need replacing worn out parts or motor?
