If I go the DCC route in N gauge, is it definitely possible to fit DCC
decoders to all n gauge traction including the diddy saddle tank or pannier
tank 0-6-0s? I know the decoders are small but I can't see where they would
fit in my saddle tank!!

Before I box my Prodigy Advance and send it to MRC for repair, thought I'd
post my issues to hear if anyone else has the same issues.
MRC states my Prodigy Advance may be one of the early ones that had
read-back issues, but I'm not so sure, the store I purchased this from in

Hey Folks,
I have a number of [HO scale] Walthers and Athearn cars w/ plastic

   Dear all,

Here's something I've begun pondering...how many of you save "expired"
Walthers catalogs for their "Magic of Model Railroading" photography?

Hey gang, I'm from the RGVAC boards (rec.games.video.arcade.collecting)
and was wondering if you could enlighten me on pricing old HO scale
trains and accessories.  I have a box full of old HO stuff upstairs,
which I've spent the last couple months mauling over wether or not to

Somewhere in my train travels, I saw a wall mounted cabinet that housed the
train & track. It was deep enough for tunnels & all train cars fit onto
shelving. The face of the cabinet dropped down for train usage & closed up
to get it out of the way.

Just received the new Hornby 2005 catalogue, (thanks John). I preferred the
portrait version myself, but that's not the reason I'm writing.
I noticed that there are only 3 Merchant Navies this year. Does that mean
the earlier ones are no longer available, or am I missing ...

Any news on the Hornby class 31?  Also are they going to do a 31/4?

I am trying to find a copy of "An Illustrated History of the Abingdon
Branch" published by Wild Swan in 1985 or so.  Would anyone have a
direction to point me in? I have been doing searches, but so far have
been unable to find a copy.

Hi Gents,
I am planning a layout with some very complex pointwork that I hope to
operate using DCC. I thought it would be a doddle to wire it up but of
course this isn't so.

If you film them on video, you can sell it as a giant monster movie ...

I'm finishing up my basement, getting ready to put a new O Gauge
layout in.  Was wondering if anyone had any recommendations regarding

Thanks!
