  1. HO Scale
    I have an old locomotive from my childhood. I don't remember ever running this one. I tried it out today and noticed that it was jumping on the ties. It looks like one of the wheels has is an inner and outer flange. What's the point of this? Does this require special track? Is this easily...
  2. HO Scale
    Hey everybody, awhile back I picked up a locomotive off ebay (I know, but it was cheap) in hopes of painting the shell and giving it to my son. At first the train worked on the track, then stutteringly, and now just the headlamp works. I took off the shell and I can tell that no matter what, the...
  3. O Scale
    I recently purchased the Legacy Grand Canyon set for Christmas. I put the locomotive on the track, power up the track (I'm using fastrack with DC power input from a LionChief set) and I can hear the tender speaker turn on but the locomotive will not power on. The manual for the Grand Canyon...
  4. N Scale
    Hello all! You all may remember me as "that one guy that barged in many months ago asking about toy train track." Since that post, I have amassed a (currently very small) model train collection. I bought a single lot on eBay towards the end of January and that's been my whole collection since...

    Looking to sell a lot of 8 DC N scale locomotives, most of which need work. Price includes shipping. I'll add pictures as soon as I can take them and post them from my phone. These first three are all from Lima, and have poor reviews on Spookshow.net. I could get them to come to life, but...

  8. N Scale
    I've always been quite fond of the early days of steam, and I'm starting to get back into model railroading again and am looking for engines from the 1830s - 1860s or so. Patentees, Adlers, Cramptons, and the like. I can find no rolling stock, either. All I can find are a small number of 3D...
  9. 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...
  10. HO Scale
    it is a Rock Island 1282 but there is no model number or anything saying who made it. Does anyone know?
  11. HO Scale
    Hi All I am a beginner with HO scale. About the sound of trains I often see such as: TSU, ESU, Proto, Pragon .... Does anyone have documents or websites that talk more about these sound brands? Thanks
  12. G / #1 Scale
    Every Christmas I do a large window display where I like to have a G scale train driving around. The train is on a timer and runs on and off through out the day. However my basic Bachmann train is not reliable. The wheels needed cleaning once a day and when the timer turns on the loco often...

  14. Technical Model Train Forum
    I'm automatically controlling my point-to-point train with an Arduino that I've programmed. I need a 12v DC power supply to run the train. Can anyone recommend a 12v power supply? The amps are my main concern, I think. My locomotive O gauge Williams diesel locomotive SD45-201. The...

  17. O Scale
    I have a 2344 locomotive and the horn does not work. I don't know exactly how the horn works. Having to use a battery is strange to me when you have a power source. Anyway... Using a 1033 90 watt transformer: When I use the whistle lever the relay closes I have continuity from the truck to...
  18. General Model Train Discussion
    My N scale Kato sd-45 running on DC progressively gets slower as the run time gets longer. While other trains appear to speed up as the running time lengthens, this particular locomotive somehow slows down to a crawl. This locomotive had prior problems, which caused me to convert it into a dummy...

    I started painting my N Scale locomotive today, but found myself using enamel paint, which I find very hard to work with. What should I do now? Thank you! Brandon
