    Atlas Code 55 turn-out shortage?!?

    I'm using a combination of Atlas C55 and Peco C55. There is an issue joining the two. The Peco C55 is actually C80 with an extra flange. The rail below the upper flange is buried in plastic (ties, etc.). The most common method of joining the Atlas C55 and the Peco C55 is to mash down half of a...

    N scale buildings are missing.....?

    I think you should spend some time looking around. I've got a list of bookmarks for various N manufacturers. Many are not carried by Walthers. Sometimes you need to go to different on-line retailers to find things or dirrectly to the manufacturers. For instance, a look at AMB (American Model...

    Reckless Collecting

    That was 18,000 in 2003. He was missing 80 of MT releases up to that time. So, add one of every car MT has released since then..... That wasn't his only collection. He had some Concourse d'Elegance quality classic cars, western memorabilia. Three buildings worth of stuff he showed us.

I have been humble on that subject ever since. I've got around 750 cars, most of which will go on my layout. Still...

    Question about Kato N scale

    It's not the degrees that's the problem, it's the radius. For 30 " wide table the largest radius would be 14" but a little less would be better. I don't know the available radii for the Kato Unitrack but there are some that will suit your purpose. Maybe 12" or 12 1/2"

    Bachmann N scale F7-A diesel locomotive

    Keep in mind that Bachmann has a pretty good return policy. Send it to them and they will repair or replace. You just pay shipping.

    Track: Atlas vs Peco vs something else??

    I'm starting a rather large layout (38' by 18' plus a 8' by 18' leg). I've used Atlas code 80 and 55 as well as Peco code 80 and 55 on previous layouts and NTRAK modules. Here is my rational for the new layout. I really like the Peco turnouts and the Code 55 looks a bit better than the C80. The...
