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...

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...

The "Spring Thaw" in Allentown is February 26 & 27th. Here's a link. Hope it helps. http://www.allentowntrainmeet.com/ SouthForkRR

I'm using WinXP and can view them using Windows Media Player. MrBones

Mike I found it. On the Kato site, on the left side, click on "catalogs and brochures". Then on the next site, click on "catalogs and books". On the bottom of the next page, it lists it for $10.98, Item #25-012. It is in Japanese though. MrBones

Mike, I found a place in England if that is any help at all. MrBones

Mike, have you checked at http://katousa.com/ at the top of the page, click on the Unitrack button. That should take you to a few unitrack plans, on the left hand side of that page. MrBones

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 Gary. I'll ponder over this. Lots of good information there. I appreciate that. MrBones

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...

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...

Great to see you "pop in" Shamus. I hope all is getting better for you. Great work on the CD. I can't stop looking it over. It stays in the cd tray just waiting for another look. Continue to inprove and pop in here. MrBones

shamus, Please PM me. I have been searching for a couple of days now to order. I came acrossed it once, but forgot how. I need to know how to order from USA. MrBones

Charlie, they look great! Could we see some more pictures of some of your other shadow boxes please? Great idea there. MrBones

Wow Spitfire. That looks real good. You have convinced me, I will be using this method on my backdrop. Thanks for sharing your progress. MrBones

Put me in coach! Sorry, I had to be the first. Thanks for the information. I too used to attend the NV High School. Moved from there in 1970, so much has changed. I took my wife for a drive up there last year and we marked on our calendar, a ride on the excursion for August of this year...
