I have cleaned my track with brite boy and Goo Gone. I am interested in hearing from you as to what you use to clean your track. Have you had any experience with the track cleaning car? Does it work very well? I read one post where that person used No-Ox-ID. Who has had experience using that...

I am ready to paint some mountains that I made from rubber molds using plaster. I also made some mountains using pink insulation foam board. I would like some suggestions as to the color and brand of paint that some of you have used. I have viewed some of the pictures of the mountains that you...

I noticed that Factory Direct Trains has Broadway Limited Imports HO BlueLine Locomotives with sound for $119.99. An NMRA Standard DCC Socket is included so you can quickly and easily install your favorite decoder. Each locomotive has a factory installed sound system. Has anyone used these...

I have used Prodigy Express on my layout for a year, and now decided to add another Prodigy Express walkaround. I got the new walkaround yesterday and tried it out last night. Things did not work very well. When I added the second walkaround my old walkaround did not work properly. When I wanted...

I installed a reversing loop on my layout, but I get a short as soon as I plug in my Prodigy Express DCC. I am attaching a crude drawing of the part of the layout where I have the reversing loop. I have installed insulated connectors at numbers 1, 2, 3, & 4. I wired in the MRC Auto Reverse...

I want to use push buttons on a diagram to operate the turnouts that I can't reach, and I will be using a DC transformer to power them. Can someone tell me the steps that I need to take to make this become a reality? My Ho trains are operated with DCC Prodigy Express. Thanks.

I will be using Prodigy Express for my layout. What gauge wire should I use for the track bus and what gauge for the feeder wires? I have one book that says to use 14 gauge wire for the track bus. That is the same size wire that is used in wiring a house. Is that too heavy?

I will have two reverse loops on my layout. Will one auto reverse loop module take care of both of these reverse loops?

I have been out of HO railroading for ten years. When we moved ten years ago we had to tear down our layout and we boxed up the cars, track, switches, locomotives, etc. I now want to get back into the hobby, but all of the track and switches are brass. I want to go DCC, but I was told by a hobby...
