    Looking for North Carolina Piedmont coach cars

    I found an NC Piedmont EMD F59PHI engine with DCC and sound this past weekend. I am trying to see if there are any N scale of the coach cars they use on the Piedmont.

    HO Scale Amtrak on Switching Layout

    Above are some shots of my fictional, 2 car Amtrak train, the Northern Valley Star, based out of a fictional Wisconsin town, Northern Valley. The switching layout does not resemble any location or era in particular, but VERY VERY LOOSELY resembles Lennox, SD in the 1980s. There are also 2 guest...

    N Scale Amtrak Surfliner and/or Metrolink and "Mooning the Amtrak"

    I've been trying to think of a good theme/time/era/region, etc. to model. Due to a lack of space, I've been looking at NTrak modules as a possibility. It occurred to me that the annual Mooning of the Amtrak (and Mooning of the Metrolink) might be a fun scene to recreate. For those that don't...
