    Old Timey Layout Video

    They are Roundhouse kits (maybe from the 1980's or 1990's?). I purchased 7 used cars on ebay with a non running IHC DC 2-8-0 Consolidation for $35. I was able to get 4 passenger cars out of the 7 in running condition. It was a nice find for me, it happened to be exactly what I was looking for...

    MTH HO Mikado 2-8-2 and the Front drivers climb the rails / derail

    thanks, added the washer and it helped. I also got replaced the traction tire driver with the non-traction tire driver and that made a big difference.

    MTH HO Mikado 2-8-2 and the Front drivers climb the rails / derail

    I have a MTH HO Mikado 2-8-2 and the Front drivers climb the rails on 18" R curves. I read on a youtube video that if the front drivers derail, add a washer to the rear truck's spring. My questions are: 1. What is the rear truck spring? (Is it the Trailing Truck w/ the 2 wheels, right behind...
