I am just getting back into Model Railroading. I have not been involved in the hobby since I was a teenager, and boy has it changed. I see that people mention three types of track, I do not have room for a layout at this time, but I want a test track to check on locomotives that I buy at shows or online, what type of track should I use and is there a terminal that does DC and DCC
Looking Forward, Great information, Steve
I am changing a layout from a "circle burner" and block control to an operations and DCC. I will be adding turnouts to the layout. What are the pros and cons to insulated and non-insulated turnouts? Thanks!</strong>
Hi
Great show tonight. I'm in the process of building an 8 x 21 foot o scale layout with 4 separate loops all controlled by mth dcs. There are several sidings, but the large scale leaves little room for operation. Any suggestions, way bills etc.</strong>
Is there any replacement for the old Permascene Modeling Compound. Used to be an easy-to-work scenery material that would hold trees with ease and could be built up around buildings, abutments etc as deep as needed without cracking.
Thank you gentlemen
You mentioned young people wanting to do modern trains. Problem is, much of modern freight tends to be a lot longer in length than 1940's era 40 foot box cars. If you are limited in space so you can't have a big radius layout, there may not be easy solutions for running those long freight cars around a small radius. Any solutions other than going to a smaller scale like N scale?
First time visiting
I am adding an N scale addition to my layout, what is the best brand of track to use?
