I have seen a lot of posts that bring back memories and thought this maybe a good place to put them all in line. How far back can you remember? I remember S&H Green Stamps as well as Blue Chip stamps. Can't recall if green stamps had the larger size like Blue chip did. I think 1 large Blue...

They say torque and traction wins but it seems the diesel has the advantage in both categories! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-D1KVIuvjA

Jim Fitzgerald passed away recently and many of you know him as the "father" of NTrak. What a great guy he was as I had the pleasure to be in a club with him in California. He will be missed!

http://www.wimp.com/locomotiveparade/ I'm not sure how to change it to a link but copy/view works. Not a diesel in sight! Shoot howdy, it looks like a link, cool.

http://news.msn.com/us/60-injured-5-critical-as-conn-commuter-trains-collide I wonder what could have caused this?

I was thinking of doing some lightning and thunder in my valance light area above a tall mountain and googled sound ic but really got nowhere. It appears there is the kind of circuit used for greeting cards but the minimum is 2000- 5000 and they all are from China. What I was wondering is does...

I just received a new Bachmann 2-10-0 with DCC/sound and all the bells and whistles work except it has a had time moving. It came with a small pack of what looks to be graphite (large pack) but I was wondering if this is to be used on the side bars etc. I thought graphite was a metal and...

What is meant by the term " filtered DC"? I'm assuming a car battery is filtered but what about our transformers and are the Radio Shack 12 volt transformers filtered? Thanks for any info.

I have a brand new in box Bachman Daylight GS-4 as well as the Freedom GS-4 train engine. I checked with the local hobby store and they said to put DCC Soundtrax in one would be 65-75 bucks. Seems okay. DCC in the Freedom would be nice. My question is these are 15 years old and would the...

I hope this is the right area for this thread. I'm not showin' off, trust me. I took a few photos of a section for my layout while it was on it's side. It made doing the wiring and installing switch machines a lot easier. I have finished the wiring and it is ready to go back on it's feet once...

I'm looking for a MJE3055, Silicon Epitaxial Planar Transistor, WOW! I'm not sure what it does but I need one and on-line they go from .99 to 11.96! The only electronics store I have is Radio Shack and have no way to cross reference this number to a Radio Shack one. Any thoughts would be...

I think I goofed already! My name is Brian and I have been in Model Railroading since the 90's but took a break in 2000 to do RC boats but now back to do my layout. I started digging out from underneath my house in 1989 and finally finished an 18X16 foot room with a 4X5 chunk out of one...

I just purchased an NCE Power Cab but have no DCC locomotives. I have been searching decoders but am a little confused. For what I see, there is 4 function with 16 lighting effects for 20 to 30 bucks and there is ones with sound that jump to 60-70 bucks and what looks to be sound only decoders...

I have a Walthers Cornerstone Rocky Point Lighthouse that came with a small circuit board to power the beacon. I can't remember the voltage it requires but I think it was 16 volts AC. I don't want to toast the board so I was wondering if anyone has this building and what the correct power...
