I'm interested in the Woodland Scenics SubTerrain system of inclines and
risers.  Anyone know Internet stockists or Kent based stockists of this
stuff here in the UK?  I want to know costs, etc. of the various pieces.

Hello NG!
I'm looking for Peco Code 55 arcuated tracks. I've heard, that Peco produces
such tracks. In Germany are only switches and flexibel tracks available. Can
you help me were I can order arcuated tracks in the www.

Hi Everyone, I've been digging through my boxes of stuff, and I've
managed to scrape together 2 A-B sets of Miracle Castings Baldwin
6-Axle sharks (HO scale), as used by the Pennsy.  These are
out-of-production kits, and are listed on Ebay as follows:

Graham Farish (N-scale)
Arrivals/Due early December
370-025      0-6-0 STARTER SET 3 WAGONS      £  49.95
370-050      J94 3F FREIGHT SET              £  69.95

I'm looking for some very small pullies for a modeling project, something under
24" HO wide.  I tried Bluejacket ship modeling but they didn't seem to have
anything quite like what I'm looking for. Any ideas?

I am planning a multi level switching railroad. Possibly 3 decks in HO
standard gauge.
Does anyone have suggestions, comments, cautions for me as I draw the plans?
If you built this type of benchwork, how did you do it?

Hey Folks,
I have the new Walthers turntable on our wish list. It won't happen
anytime soon, but I do plan to incorporate a turntable into our model
railroad. This one appears from the write up to be a nice choice.

I'm getting ready to install my switch motors and do the wiring.  I
noticed that for switches on parallel tracks they are in pairs, one
switch on one line at 180 degrees to a similar switch on the adjacent
line.  I cannot think of any situations where they would not operate

Here's an interesting idea...I think.
From time to time, I see cars on the road that have a really attractive or cool
color, and I think, "That would be a really neat color to use on certain
models," whether as part of a special scheme, such as for an "executive fleet"

So what way do guys go?
I follow a prototype because it gives me a focus and a clear path to follow.
Hopefully the final result will be a realistic layout that's as much fun to

   I have just about finished converting my loft so I will be able to start
making the baseboards then build the layout but I am confused by the
sequence to take.Should I design the layout in detail first then design the
baseboards around the layout or design the baseboards the ...

a newbie here with a question about baseboard suppliers.
