    I bought several plans from Scalemodelplans.com and am working my way through them. Apart from building 1:24 scale Revell and AMT car models, I am fairly new at model building. This one is their Plan 1466 Victorian. Their website shows various versions. I decided on 3/32" foam board from...
  3. Technical Model Train Forum
    Hello! I have heard a bunch of info about some HO layouts being operated wirelessly by phone and through a Wi-Fi server router with a PC connected to it. I have heard somethings as Raspberry Pi would do the trick, but it only works within a certain range as far as I know. I want to have...
  4. HO Scale
    I am aware a thread like this may already exist in the deep recesses of the forum but I wanted to make my own for posterity. I invite my fellow HO scale modelers to share details on what their era/region of interest is. I am curious to know what the other people on this forum are doing with...

  9. HO Scale
    Hello ! , some of my Lionel, bachman and tyco engines will have this problem where they will run for a minute or two than stop , this is not a track cleaning problem as far as I’m concerned and I have other trains that will run for hours perfectly. To me the trains seem like they are over...

  16. HO Scale
    I just bought a used athearn switcher that i fixed up to make it run but is is making a fairly large amount of ozone smell. Ive searched it up and it looks like many trains do that, but is there a way to stop it, is it an athsma trigger/is it safe to run for long periods of time, or does it mean...
  17. HO Scale
    I'd like to buy EZ track for my HO scale train, running the Bachman brand locomotive you see in the picture. Right now the locomotive jumps the track pretty often. Someone suggested I buy larger radius track, but I don't know which radius to buy. I'm not even sure the radius I have already. But...
  18. DCC Forum (Digital Command Control)
    Hello Everyone, I finally made the jump to DCC this evening. Though I'm facing a few issues, watching multiple trains just sit on the layout waiting, with lights on and not moving is awesome. Better yet, bright lights without having to put the train into "back to the future" mode is great! I'm...

I haven't found any info on it other than a couple of EBAY postings. Does anyone have any further information on this / how much...

    I just replaced my HO Atlas Code 83 track with new Kato Unitrack. I did not use cork roadbed, and laid it down on very smooth, flat 3/4" birch plywood. The joints snap together nicely, but I find that one rail will be perfectly mated up and the other rail will create a vertical 'step' with the...
