    Isaak's Bookshelf Railroad

    Controller Oh yea, they're definately slipping. The Bachmann 4-4-0 would definatly benefit from some weight over the drivers. I think it would be a great challenge for the people at Bachmann to make a Spectrum version of this engine that is weighted correctly, has pickups on the drivers...

    Bachmann 4-4-0 American Problem

    I got the Bachmann 4-4-0 "Jupiter" in a set for Christmas when I was 13 (25 years ago). It ran quite good for about 4 years and then it started having trouble so I sent it in to Bachmann for repairs and they sent me a brand new one! I have been running that one ever since. It is a pretty good...

    Flying Object Over Layout?????

    Organic Models I once caught a large fly and tied a small thread around its "neck". I then tied the other end of the thread to a hook on the ceiling. It went around in circles for about 36 hours with a pit-stop on the ceiling from time to time. I have also heard that the military is...
