    Tried N, got frustrated, went back to HO, happy again

    Like most of the others, I too was into N Scale. A move two years ago forced me to abandon the layout I had, but now I am rebuilding, in HO. I have a ton of N scale locomotives and rolling stock and will be looking into efforts later this year to part company with all of it.

    help me find a site where I can configure and buy HO locomotives

    . I should have clarified, I am hoping to find a single supplier where I can pick the locomotive I want, the dcc and sound options that I want, and the supplier will install those and ship me a final product. Years ago, when I was modeling n scale, I ran across such a company on the internet...

    help me find a site where I can configure and buy HO locomotives

    I am starting a new layout in HO. I am looking for a place where I can buy HO locomotives with DCC and Sound cards of my liking installed. Does anyone know of such a store?

    The rounded version of a back ground. Half rounds and quarter rounds being most common.

    proposed layout

    An exception to every rule no doubt. These are fine looking backdrops. Who are you buying them from if I may ask? I am wanting to find some industrial and urban backgrounds for my layout and money is no object.

    TrainCat-Anyone else find it hard to get a hold of them?

    I ordered some brass stuff from them in early February, and some time went by and no shipping notice, or anything, so I started e-mailing them for an update on my order. They hit my paypal account right away that's for sure. Sent a total of 4 e-mails so far, and no reply :( At this point...

    Ebay Experiences

    Here is another laugher, The box not only looks like it went to war with Iraq, the guy e-mails back a belittling message when you try to make a reasonable offer, and then doesn't even have the guts to let you e-mail him back. Obviously it is cretins like this that not only entertain us, but...

    Ebay Experiences

    I have not experienced too many issues at all. I check several other internet stores before I make the purchase of course, but sometimes, not always, it works out a little better on E-bay. I am always looking for two special road names for modern locomotives and rolling stock for Indiana...

    More work on BOF (Basic Oxygen Furnace)

    I am moving on a little further with my BOF, as well as Gary Works US steel plant and should be posting some pictures pretty soon. I still have some vents to install, and some stencil work I wanted to do, but the BOF is painted, assembled and placed. This is N-scale, but the structure still...

    Where you buy your track from?

    I also concur with NHS hobbies, low prices and free shipping for many items if you order more than $99.00.

    BOF In Process

    Thanks Josh. I have not posted any other photos yet, I am still a newbie. In a few weeks, I will put some up. The Mill is the first module up on the layout and is spread over 5 eight foot sections. Works out nicely in n-scale.

    BOF In Process

    I completed the Basic Oxygen Furnace finally tonight, and after we get it painted next week, I can add it to the layout. This was a fun project, and my first attempt ever at making something from scratch. I used foam core board and two Electric Furnace buildings and a bunch of Plastruct...

    Advice on cutting plastruct ABS tubing

    Tom, That is good to know about the power tool. I am thinking a fine enough blade should do the job for me. BOF = Basic Oxygen Furnace. They have very distinct horizontal roof vents that look a little like pac man.
