In a review of the Bachmann Spectrum Decapod in MRC the author

Did any, some, most, all GB steam use left hand lead for the driver
quartering?
In the United States most RR used right hand lead, but the Pennsylvania
Railroad (PRR) used left hand lead.  I'm just wondering if any other RRs

Hi guys. My name is Adrian and I've been lurking in the group for quite a
while, reading the posts and picking up bits and pieces of info. I guess
its time to de-lurck!
I've a quick question that a google search didn't turn up:

Anybody have a place to order Cannon parts from? My local hobby shop
doesn't offer any discounts and after all the business I've done I'm looking

Thanks to all.          Paul

I'm sure this has been answered before, but how do you file the inside
of the pre-cast draft gear box for the coupling on Bachman freight
cars to fit a Kadee #5 coupler?  Specifically, what tool would you
use? Where to buy it?  Local hardware shop?  I don't want to file off

I wanted to buy a Digitrax setup, but my local hobby shop was
out of anything except the most expensive.  They said that the
lower level Zephyr had been on back-order for two months.  Then,
I checked Walthers and saw that they had only a few Digitrax

them.

Any North American residents on this list planning on going to the Great

I've heard complaints about how the magazines never give a bad review.
Looks like MR is trying to reverse that trend.  Looking at the beautiful
model shown in the new issue (Vol 71, No 4), the reviewer complains that the
separately applied grab irons "seemed a little heavy".  A ...
