Does anyone know where I might be able to get a front bogie wheel for a
Mainline Jubilee; or a couple of the smaller nylon cogs that engage with
the wheels (not the one reproduced by Ultrascale unfortunately) for a
Mainline Warship?

I have just rediscovered this loco (circa 1979) which was part of my first
set many years ago.
I am cleaning it up and wondered if anyone could assist in showing me which
bits need lubricating according to the service sheet here:

Anybody know where I could get the equivalent to this in the UK

I'm looking for an 00 turntable for a new  layout I'm building ( British
outline) I need one that is reasonable flush with the surface so as I don't

Anyone know of on-line or hard copy overhead photos of Alco C-425s?  
Need them as guidance for upgrading the radiator grillwork and walkway

I've just unpacked my train set after 19 years and built a new layout
using Peco settrack/streamline.  I have a Hornby Schools and a D49 and
the floppy centre wheels on the tenders seem to catch on the more modern
finer points causing the tenders to lift off the track and the ...

I wanted to ask about import duties when buying model railroad
equipment in Europe, more specifically in Austria or Germany, and
importing it to Canada (Ont.). From what I understood you first pay
duties, the level of which appears to be difficult to assess, and then

Can anyone give me the length of the MN chassis and also if there is

I've been subscribed to this group for about 7 years.....it was an
interesting,busy and very informative group. But it seems to not only have
gotten very quiet on the railroad side but is more and more full of
irrelevant nonsense.

wake up to check posts and before bed and some in between!  <a

Any electrical experts out there who can tell me where I am going wrong?
I have a small layout (4' length - 5 turnouts) that has just undergone a
rebuild of the baseboard. During this time I took the opportunity to
move the turnout switches from the front of the board and locate ...

I'm new to all this.   I had a train set as a kid and I'm just starting up
again.
I have a Hornby Class 121 R2509 Bubble railcar and I can't get the casing
off to fit the DCC Decoder.   Undoing the screws is simple but whatever I

Folks:
I just bought the June 2007 RMC and I must say it's very good.
Scratchbuilder's Corner is shaping up into a wonderful
series, and I love the chatty tone.  It's fun to read and full of good
