    The thing about Hobby Lobby is that America's Greatest Indoor Hobby is not that well represented there. That's model trains. They do have a couple of Bachmann sets and some slot cars but Honestly don't hold a candle to anything like even Hobbytown. Hobby Lobby has paints and Dremels and...

    One of the things that some people don't realize is that the Dukes of Hazzard town is also the same town that was used for the TV show "In The Heat Of The Night" with Carroll O' Connor to represent "Sparta Mississippi"

    Bachmann customer service problems

    Could you try a different carrier? I think with a different carrier like UPS or Fedex or even DHL you should be able to ask them to give you a disposition on the delivery like what the heck happened? Send them a certified letter and request a response. If they don't respond kick it up a...

    Need tips on kitbashing a BQ23-7 and who custom paints loco's?

    That big yellow thing is getting work done on it. I got the chassis switched out and got a can motor in it now instead of the pancake motor it came with. I need to body mount Kadees. I need to stabilize the circuit board because that has the light on it but I got to get the DCC chip on it...

    Types of Digitrax chips

    The truck frame is plastic. the pancake motor is a powered truck. It's not connected through a drive shaft to a centralized motor in the middle of the engine. (it's like one piece) If people can make that little "Thomas the train" work for the kids, clearly that wasn't meant for a decoder. All...

    Types of Digitrax chips

    I was told the pancake motor can take a decoder. The parts just are not available for repowered chasis to get better chasis in them.
