    How Trains Turn...

    Ok that makes me wonder about model trains. Do model trains have the same taper on the wheels or do we rely on the flanges for turning? That could help explain some seemingly mysterious derailing on some models and not on some others. -Art

    Steel bridge

    Xavier, I like the look of that curved Vietnamese bridge. I might have to try and make one of those as well for my train shelf layout to go with my truss bridge. -Art

    Steel bridge

    Zoegraf, Try making one yourself. I made this from small wood pieces I got from Home depot. The curved arches could be made by cutting a plywood template to the desired curve with a jigsaw then take the wood for your bridge hold it over a boiling tea kettle to "steam it". Then tack it to...

    UP Gas Turbine Typical Freight?

    I have 2 HO scale Lionel Veranda gas turbines and I have no freight cars to go with them. I posted a similar question before and someone suggested Pacific Fruit express reefer cars but I can't find anyone who makes them in HO scale at this time. I found some used ones on ebay but I want to buy 5...

    I need a new camera

    A good place to look is Best Buy. You can try them out side by side and the workers are somewhat knowledgeable. Once you find the model you are after, a thorough web search is in order for a good price. I am a huge fan of digital SLR cameras. They are big and bulky but you will love the...

    Gregg, I can email you the plans I used to make my bridge. It only cost a few dollars for supplies. It could be easily modified for any size you need. Here is a pic: I made mine wide enough for 2 tracks for my planned shelf layout. -Art

    Bachmann Spectrum FP40PH adding DCC/Sound?

    Issue solved My NJ transit issues are solved by Trainworld.com. They had a GP-40 with DCC and QSI sound for $179.99. That's cheaper than modifying my Bachmann Spectrum FP40PH and hassle free. Thanks for the replies. /) /) -Art

    Bachmann Spectrum FP40PH adding DCC/Sound?

    I have a Bachmann Spectrum F40PH NJ Transit (non dcc version) and I would like to add DCC and sound. I sent an email to Tony's Trains and they said there was no room to add sound. Has anyone done this? I don't need anything fancy I would be happy with a cheapo sound generator perhaps n scale. I...
