Due to very limited space I am constructing a small layout for myself and my
son on 3 1200mmx1200mm sheets of 3/4" MDF that will have to sit on the
floor. A friend with carpentry skills has kindly installed metal dowels and
sockets so that the boards push together well and they are ...

Further to the interesting thread on turnout control for a switching
layout, I have used Caboose Industries ground-throws in the past and
been quite happy with them. But the next part of the yard to be built
will have trolley wire overhead. I am not keen to be sticking my hand

I am in need of a belt for a Custom Brass O scale FA with a belt type drive.
Any ideas where I can get one?

Hi --
I've read through some of the archives, but am still feeling quite confused;
I am REALLY stupid about this stuff, so please be kind.
My parents and I are looking to buy an N scale set for my son for Christmas.

who has a way of dealing with Mars Lights in Proto 2000 E units, in DCC? As
suggested by Cheery Littlebottom, I will probably replace the ...

Is one of the MTL passenger trucks [101719 or 101819, silver sides]
correct for the Con-Cor smoothside UP passenger cars?  From the
pictures, they look like 4-wheel [101718] trucks, but I can't be sure.
