ModelRailroadForums.com is a free Model Railroad Discussion Forum and photo gallery. We cover all scales and sizes of model railroads. Online since 2002, it's one of the oldest and largest model railroad forums on the web. Whether you're a master model railroader or just getting started, you'll find something of interest here.


I have been intending to get one of these Herpa 1:87 models for quite a while to mainly check out the linked tracks, which the picture clearly shows, with the idea of contacting the manufacturer to see if they could be bought as a part. Long shot I know, but worth a try. Hate those rubber band tracks most have.

So, with great expectations, I unpacked my very last model railroad purchase (officially) from Klein's today with one in it. You guessed it. Rubber band tracks :mad::mad:

Good Morning All. Clear and 30 degrees this morning in North Central Texas. Only looking for a high near 48. Rain tomorrow and temps in the mid-60's Thursday & Friday. Then back to the 40's.
Yesterday was a slow day for modeling as the weather was too good to be indoors. I did throw together a few DPM walls for a background industry. They're in the paint booth right now. Had a great homemade German chocolate cake for my birthday yesterday. 64 years young. Today is grocery trek day by myself, as my wife started back to work yesterday, she is a seasonal tax preparer. During the first month I get to hear of all the people that barely work but get back more than they pay in. I call it income re-distribution. Very few are truly legitimate.
Well, off to the train shed for a few hours until the sun rises and the outdoors beckons.

After many years of running trains without sound I find that I can really do without it. I only have three with sound and usually only run them as a novelty when I have visitors. I wish I had a way to turn the sound off. The heavy mike I picked up from Terry is a really nice performing locomotive, but for me after a few laps around the main line, I find the sound can really get annoying. Maybe I'm just an old fart. View attachment 55043 For me performance is much more important.

All my DCC sound-equipped locos can be silenced by hitting the #8 button on my controller....ok...some locos its 1 or 6 but 98% its #8
