(EDIT: I figured out my issue)

Quick question for those or use, or are familiar with, NCE's power pro system with radio cabs. - Are you able to change loco addresses and what not while wireless? I ask because currently the Digitrax system requieres you to plug in to change addresses. I know Digitrax has their duplex...

Over past few months I've been doing research and looking at a variety of N-scale signal companies to find ones that look prototypical, good quality, and reasonably priced. In the end, I settled for and purchased 4 brands for a hands on look. Those are: Atlas South Bend Signals Single Track...

Anybody happen to have Kato's Denny's building? I'm trying to find out the following dimensions: A) Just the building itself B) Building and parking lot. Thanks!

After a year of being in the new house, I finally got around to putting my N-Scale Showcase Express shelves back up. Yay.

I posted this in my progress thread, but thought it might be better here so it's not so buried in the thread. An 8-minute video tour of my layout in it's current state: YouTube - Layout Tour

Hi Folks, I'm gonna be testing out a new N-scale signal being designed by Custom Signal Systems soon that'll be a Greed/Red over Yellow/Red signal double searchlight signal, and had a few questions about when/what type of displays should be shown. First off, is a G/R over Y/R prototypical...

Just playing around with some video. YouTube: YouTube - BNSF Hopper Passby N-Scale HD Version: http://gallery.sodh.net/railroad/layout/videos/KatoSD40-2.m4v.html

Of course I'm kicking myself for not really doing this first, but I'm looking into ways for cutting a completed structure in half. I'm kinda wanting to chop a little bit off the back of my Taco Bell structure, so it's not as deep and more like a semi-background building. It would fit better in...

Uploaded a video clip of my new Big Boy to my gallery this evening. Athearn-N-4-8-8-4 I'm currently uploading to youtube in case you can't get the above HD clip to play.

Hi folks, I was wondering if any other folks here has had experiences dealing with the site https://www.texnrails.com I placed an order for a brass searchlight kit back in January and the item has yet to arrive. I emailed several times over the past month and hald and never got a reply. Mid...

anyone ever come across a site listing Digitrax's LT5 tester for sale? 1 is included with a BDL168, but don't really see them for sale any place individually.

I placed an order with this site last week, and never heard anything since. I sent an email asking about the order status and got the auto-reply. "Hello, Thanks for contacting TexNrails. We are out of town at the Amhearst and Timonium Train Shows and will return on March 6th. We will be...

For those with powered mainline turnouts (or planning on it), I'm just wondering what the general consensus is for industrial siding turnouts. I'm considering using a mixture of methods...possibly. I know want the mainline siding turnouts to be powered, for possible automatic computer...

Hey all, Quick question regarding Digitrax's BDL168 occupancy board. The hookup is pretty straight forward, Loconet to the BDL168, then Track feeders to the proper block of track. Since feeders in the traditional sense are short 20AWG-ish wire connecting to the DCC bus, my thinking is I...

Hi folks, Anybody here put together any TrainCat models before? I'm eyeing their Truss bridge and through girder for my layout. BLMA has a fully assembled and painted truss bridge coming out soon for about $75 more, but wondering how much of a PITA the bridge kits might be to assemble. I'm...

I've been searching walthers.com for them, but haven't come across any yet. All I get are stone piers, not [modern] concrete ones. Anyone ever come across some before? Here's some in HO on the new Art of Model Railroading calendar that has the look I'm after.

Hi folks, This morning I had a brainstorm for how to setup my staging without dealing with curving rack in a tight corner. Here's a pic of the lower level: Now here's my thining. I would put a piece of benchwork crossing the door at the bottom, about 6' long, 4-5" wide. Trains would...

Call it a really really super impulsive buy, but I pre-ordered an Athearn Big-Boy 4-8-8-4 N-scale locomotive last night. :mrgreen: While my layout is set in modern times, I've always wanted a fancy steam engine to run for those special excursion trips. I had originally bought an Athearn...
