Hello all, I am looking for a hi-nose GP9 in HO to use on minimum 18" curves. It can be either tuscan and grey or action red with the multi-mark. Does anyone know of or have experience with a reliable and detailed high-nose GP9 that I could one day use with DCC? Hopefully one with 8...

Hello all, I know a few of you will cringe at the thought of yet another 4x8 design, so just consider this an 8x4! The top half is rural with one/two wooden grain elevators to be surrounded with wheat fields. The bottom is a small downtown with some small industries. The positioning of...

Years ago, I inherited a large HO train collection including a wealth of code100 brass track and turnouts. I have since designed my first 4x8' layout that will require additional track, however, it looks like brass track is no longer available in stores. I also would rather not mix brass with...
