Hi; I have a few Atlas N scale Master Series freight cars and one of them took a header off the table. When it hit the floor the trucks and mounting pins separated and flew in separate directions. I found the trucks and pins but not the metal washers that go between the mounting pin and...

I'm new to DCC and building a small n scale layout. I've bought a few DCC equipped locos and one DC version I will convert to DCC at some point. I also have a DigiTrax ZEPHYR DCS52 for the DCC part. I understand that DCC puts a constant 14 - 16V on the rails but one DC loco can also be run...

Hi - new to this forum. I'm building a small N scale switching layout and would like to find a new N scale RS-3 with DCC, preferably Atlas Master Series. I can't seem to find one anywhere. The Atlas website doesn't show that model on their webpage and all the on-line hobby retailers only show...
