Hi all. I am planning on building a steam era layout, country terminus in N
gauge.
Although I am quite okay with track laying, wiring and electrics (I enjoy

We just bought a PRR K4, from Lionel's 2002 catalog in brand
new condition (the box had never been opened before).  When
we first ran it and turned on the smoke generator, a little came out,
which we thought was remarkable considering it had been sitting

I've just heard a rumour that involves Hornby producing these for 2007:

A very Merry Christmas to one and all.

My Dad just gave me a 1958/1959 Lionel trainset that his Dad purchased
for him when he was a kid. We last had it under our tree in 1995, and
now its time for my kids to enjoy it. Though I think I am enjoying it
more than they are at this point. :)

Gerard-
Got a question on your layout, and maybe it's just unfamiliarity with
wiring, polarity, etc. but don't you have the possibility of coming

Can anyone tell me what bulb number to use in a KW transformer.  It is
probably the same as used for the red lamp on the ZW model.  Just about
to turn the kids loose with my 54 year old set... everything is working
including the circuit breaker but the overload bulb is missing :( .

Folks,
I am looking for a pair of Andrews (I believe that is the name) trucks
in O scale 2 rails for a tender I am building. These should be leaf
sprung and can be made of brass or delrin/plastic. I need the trucks

my layout could use: millions of $$$$

I don't have any of Trainorama's 44's, but do they have a DCC decoder with
sound or is there a provision for one? I guess that a US sound decoder for
something like a PA-1 is going to be fairly close to a Mk-1 44 class sound
decoder if you turn off all the US-specific functions.

Hey all-
Playing around with RTS 7.0, and came up with a kind of basic layout
for an N scale railroad.

I am trying to locate an O scale club with a layout in the RALEIGH
area, in North Carolina.
A few years ago, the Neuse Valley Railroad Club (or something similar)
was operating a small layout in malls during the Christmas time and

I was wondering if someone could post a summary of the manufacturers
who have produced the AC-10 or 12 Cab Forward in O scale 2 rails, in
brass. I have been searching the market for such model for a while, but
was not too lucky.
