Ok.....so I have moved into a new house of which I have been "allocated" about 405 square feet of space in the basement for the new layout (less stairs, furnace and hot-water tank). I model 1972 for CPR between Crowsnest Pass and Grand Forks (Alberta to British Columbia) and intend on...

So I just got back from a late night walk with my dog (a Samoyed for those who care). I'm fortunate (some locals say unfortunate but they are not interested in railroads, just peace and quiet) to live very close (two blocks) from CPs main line south of Calgary to Lethbridge and the US (the...

Does anyone have a pic of an assembled mail hook assembly for the Kato Budd Passenger RPO? Also maybe a prototype pic as well?

Just wanted to vent (and also sympathise with the "older crowd" on the forum). Am in the process of replacing Kato and Rapido couplers on my rolling stock in a piecemeal process. Am replacing the whole truck assemblies for most of the rolling stock (freightwise anyhow) which is straight...

I'm after some info on what types of coal cars CP has used (particularly during the 1959 - 1975 period that I model. Am interested mainly in the pre pacman era but will look at anything up to 1975. Also what models in N Scale are available. Are the new Atlas 70ton tubs suitable for hauling...

I'm assembling two Walthers River Mines. Should I paint before or after assembling?

Well, I thought I'd better join the fray (and after several requests) and try and post some pics on my layout. Much against my better judgement as I am the shy retiring type and quite self conscious given the quality of work found on this forum. I posted the following info on my layout...

Can anyone tell me anything re Atlas Davenport Switchers (I have 2 which don't run particularly well). Am looking for both model and prototype information. Thanks

Without getting into the debate about the quality of Model Power vs Kato / Atlas (yes I know the latter two are better), does anyone have any experience with the Model Power FP7As - Ie do they run ok (with DCC which they say are compatible with) or are they cr....p? I desparately want to outfit...

If the tooth fairy arrived tonight (and I still had baby teeth!!!), I would wish for an Atlas or Kato F7 (A and B Units) in CP Tuscon colours (not fussed on Block or Script - either would do!) Must have room for a decoder! I know Kato have just put out F7 A units in lots of US road schemes -...
