    I wish I would have sold my train stuff on here instead of ebay.

    I have sold some train stuff on ebay because I need to trim down to just G gauge for our big move. I have sold train stuff on ebay in the past and never had an issue. But this time my mom and I decided to sell under my mom's general seller account because I turned my account into a business...

    Making some cool G gauge rolling stock.

    I am glad you guys like them. Yes, To me its like the wagons have jewelry-grade wheels here. I was thrilled by these wheels when they arrived in the mail. They're heavy and shiny.

    Making some cool G gauge rolling stock.

    I finally received the metal wheels I have been begging the universe for. I selected USA TRAINS POLISHED METAL WHEELS. These basically have the appearance of Chrome... And I am not going to be painting them or making them appear prototypical because they basically cause the rolling stock to take...

    O gauge - Black ties vs Brown Ties

    Oh yeah, Atlas Century is a little nicer than anything tubular just on account of what it is... I have considered this Atlas track, though have yet to bite mostly because of limits on what I can afford and funds being eaten by higher priorities. Actually, one of my local hobby stores...

    O gauge - Black ties vs Brown Ties

    How about a new post about a classic argument? I have a layout featuring N, HO, O and G trains all in a 8 x 12 foot area. I just like the different characteristics of the different size model trains. I have also been one to like trying different track systems for each size. I like the different...

    Making some cool G gauge rolling stock.

    I have begin to slowly collect these square-ish Piko Ore Jennies. I get them at Onlytrains, RLD, Trainz.com etc. They automatically come with plastic wheels which is OK to start, but I insisted on ultimately fitting them with metal wheels, which I finally got a chance to order and I am patiently...

    Big Diesel vs. Old Reefer box car

    This youtube video is one thing that inspires me. I have G gauge myself, because G gauge is pretty good for having trains quietly fly down the track at very expeditious speeds. I asked a bunch of commenters on this youtube video with the speed train on it, what would happen if there were two...

    Big Diesel vs. Old Reefer box car

    An old piece of O gauge rolling stock was draped perpendicular over the tracks when a freight train led by a GP38 slammed into it with great force. The ancient box car was no match for the diesel, and was destroyed on impact.

    A new beginning...JRs UPRR.

    Looks like some high end HO locomotives there. I recently got myself a Mehano steam HO 2 6 0 that is not that high end perhaps but it is very nice for how affordable it was... $47! I had been ignoring my HO stuff for awhile and most of the time it was put away in drawers. I feel proud to have...

    3-Rail track could be redesigned to look more like 2-rail

    I model in O gauge 3 rail. I had a rather large collection of hodge-podge random used O gauge rolling stock and a few locomotives I was tired of. When I bought a G gauge set I decided to shift focus onto that, and so I sold a lot of my less beloved O gauge stuff... But after I did that I was...

    Mehano Steam locomotive locks up

    Okay. I am not sure if this locking up started specifically after I added the roll of pennies, or if it was destined to happen regardless. Because, you don't have to get into the axle box to add a roll of pennies... I don't know if I caused this problem to begin with but I did tinker with it so...

    3-Rail track could be redesigned to look more like 2-rail

    I had actually run across this before online but simply forgot. That is quite a beautiful product, and its design is something that, to some extent, later products from Gargraves and Atlas wound up serving. I don't remember what it was, but if I recall, Lionel Super O was a commercial failure...

    3-Rail track could be redesigned to look more like 2-rail

    Maybe. I definitely don't have much to argue about the tradition of 3 rail and its appreciation. I think what my real intentions were was that, should a 3 rail track with a really low profile central rail become available, some people might enjoy that. But I can get behind the idea that it...

    3-Rail track could be redesigned to look more like 2-rail

    Thread. Not threat. It was supposed to say "Thread". And I enjay my idea of a low height 3rd rail!
