Well, after a good few months of searching i think i have come across my perfect stock for my traction line - 2006 SEPTA PCC-IIs!!! http://ihphobby.tripod.com/shellphotos/pcc2-01.jpg http://ihphobby.tripod.com/shellphotos/pcc2-02.jpg only problem is i have to wait for them to come out now...

Well heres something for all you On30 people out there (of which i am one!) Some progress shots of my 0n30 layout. And some clearance checks with a BVM Ore Jim Buck car

i got bored this afternoon so heres a few pictures of my pair of USRA 0-6-0s on thw work in progress layout! In this sequence shot by an intrepid railfan of the pair, an unusually 4441 is seen arriving with the on-loan SP directors observation car, whilst workworn and tatty sister 4756...

right, having decided where my line is based and what time of year it is i want to know;- what sort of things would instantly tell someone looking at my layout that it was fall in New Hampshire?

Right, now as my interurban`s "parent" is supposed to be the mighty PRR i would like to know just how far towards Maine or the California region did the PRR extend as these are the two possible locations i am looking at for basing my line in and i want to know before i start on any senic...

bachman spectrum 44T and 70T switchers with individually powered trucks? I ask because ive got one of each now as i "shotgunned" them out of part of the collection we were cataloging over the weekend. Intend to use them to power two or four interurban cars depending on if i can find suitable...

Now i know i have probably put this in the wrong forum - but my club recently recieved a VERY large amount of stuff from someone who passed away and bequeathed his entire american collection and layout to us. In amongst it there are about a half dozen or more brass locos - what i want to know...

Anyone know if a model is availble of the Erie RR 0-8-8-0 camelback mallets? after one as the motive power for the non-traction line on my layout. Any help appreciated!

right just been brought a Bachmann Spectrum F40PH which i am thinking of making into one of the CSX Executive pair. Is there anything i should think about doing to the loco before i start on detailing and repainting it? And yes i just happen to have some decoders spare so this one will be...

but does anyone know if there is a suitable comfort cab and radial truck sideframes available for the BLI SD40-2? I have an undecorated version that i want to make look like a "modernised" version like that which was proposed for the Alaska RR before they decided to buy MAC`s instead.

Right - help needed! I have got the boards up and built for the traction line but i can find any suitable plans to build a layout with. All my books seem to just have photos of the stock - nothing on the layouts of stations etc. Ideally id like a point to point line with a major terminal...

Has anyone got a photo of the nose handrail layout of the GO Transit F40PH`s. A guy at my club has got a GO F40 and i am pretty sure that is uses the same Nose grabrail layout as the Amtrak units but he hasnt been able to find a photo of the nose to fit the nose handrails to his unit. The...

Does anyone know where i can get hold of some decals for my HO locos - i dont really want to go via Microscale because that would be expensive so im ideally after some transfer paper and a printer that i could use with the paper (assuming it wont go through a normal inkjet printer)

Does anyone know if there is a kit out for the SP`s triple-articulated coach/diner/coach unit as used on certain limited services? Ive looked everywhere for them and cant find anything!

well started project number 2 now that boxmotor number 1 is running (albeit a bit roughly as she has no flywheel!) Basic materials;- 2x Athearn F7A (one powered one dummy) razor saw filler super glue Can you guess whats its going to be yet? ;)

I am building a bendtrack (N Gauge) module based on an MPD plan, does anyone know a good site to get hold of MPD (steam or diesel) track plans?

So, i have been going through my stock box today and have come up with a complete train of overton cars (two full baggage cars, a combine, two coaches, an obs that i was going to use as a diner and another obs). would these make a good "streamliner" type fixed consist for a traction line if i...

ok, i think my doodlebug is a bit of a freak in terms of its length so i want to know just how short have people cut these things down to?

As the title suggests, construction of the East Suffolk Electric is underway finally :) . I was browsing through my copies of MR and found an article about a traction loine built on 2 x 4 boards as a sectional layout (and yes, it IS a HO traction line) so i have decided to build a "sort-of"...

how do i take it apart because i want to cut it down to make a full-mail shorty version out of it and mount it onto a switcher chassis so i can use the motor/bogie combination to power a more important box motor project.
