Wheres a good place to buy detail parts for scratch builds? I want to try my hand at building a house or two. I'm looking mainly for doors, windows, siding, shingles, and really, any other house related parts. I've looked on modeltrainstuff, fiferhobby and hobbylinc, but they don't really seem to have that big of a selection. Where do you buy your detail parts from?

Detail Parts
Back when I was looking for something like n-scale "porta-potties" to build a rest area, I came across a company called "Grandt Line." modeltrainstuff.com carries some of their products. Google their name and see if they have what you are looking for,

Grandt Line

bwoogie; I agree with GN fan on Grant line windows and doors. They are some of the few commercial parts I used on the Lighthouse keeper's cottage and the Black River station models you liked. I think the light bulb in the semaphore is the only other non-scratch item. Grandt line window and door castings are great! They have a wide choice of sizes and styles. The also have other detail parts in their line, shutters, steps, etc. The castings have very little plastic "flash" to trim off, and they are even inexpensive, for their quality. I highly recommend them.

N ScaleMy cheapo Bachmann controller has announced it's intention to retire early, (the arcing on start up is a dead giveaway:rolleyes:) so I'm in the market for a new power supply.

Model Power 2-6-0 Mogul
N ScaleI realize this is a long shot but here goes anyway.... I picked one of these up @ MB Klein before the "new" batch came in and the prices went up to $200. Sure enough, like the BLI before it, this one wouldn't run either so I sent in another request for an RMA and was told they're only...- 13

BLI SD70ACE Contact Problems
N ScaleI now have had 2 Broadway Limited SD70ACEs with the same problem in DCC mode. They start fine but stutter and reset at random as they go down the track. I've cleaned the track extensively but it also does the same thing on my test bench. Cleaned the wheels, pickups, even had BLI send me a new...- 6

N scale passenger trucks
N ScaleHi - I have a 15 year old set of ConCor Milwaukee Road Hiawatha passenger cars. Unfortunately they have trucks with the old Rapido couplers. I would like to update them to Micro Trains. The only 4 wheel couplers I can find are item #1017. Would these work or are there others available? Thanks...- 3
