    HO an N mixer

    Brick red paint

    Help I live in an area that is 100 miles to the nearest Walmart and 3 1/2 hours to any freeway so to say we live in a secluded area is putting it mildly. I need to find a paint for brick.

    Yes, another new guy

    But my first thread was to solve a problem from happening on the layout I'm planning. The response was great. I'm a retired missile and explosive worker. But then I went back to work raising cattle and hay and that seemed more than I wanted to do so I sold most of the heard. During a visit to...

    track angles

    I'm working on an HO layout with two layers. In coming down from layer two to layer one on a 24" radius should the track be banked to the inside and if so, what angle? The grade will be about 2 1/2% to 3%. Also this will be my first time with DCC so is there some way that I can set up a sensor...
