    Tried N, got frustrated, went back to HO, happy again

    Like most of the others, I too was into N Scale. A move two years ago forced me to abandon the layout I had, but now I am rebuilding, in HO. I have a ton of N scale locomotives and rolling stock and will be looking into efforts later this year to part company with all of it.

    help me find a site where I can configure and buy HO locomotives

    . I should have clarified, I am hoping to find a single supplier where I can pick the locomotive I want, the dcc and sound options that I want, and the supplier will install those and ship me a final product. Years ago, when I was modeling n scale, I ran across such a company on the internet...

    proposed layout

    An exception to every rule no doubt. These are fine looking backdrops. Who are you buying them from if I may ask? I am wanting to find some industrial and urban backgrounds for my layout and money is no object.

    TrainCat-Anyone else find it hard to get a hold of them?

    I ordered some brass stuff from them in early February, and some time went by and no shipping notice, or anything, so I started e-mailing them for an update on my order. They hit my paypal account right away that's for sure. Sent a total of 4 e-mails so far, and no reply :( At this point...

    Ebay Experiences

    Here is another laugher, The box not only looks like it went to war with Iraq, the guy e-mails back a belittling message when you try to make a reasonable offer, and then doesn't even have the guts to let you e-mail him back. Obviously it is cretins like this that not only entertain us, but...

    Ebay Experiences

    I have not experienced too many issues at all. I check several other internet stores before I make the purchase of course, but sometimes, not always, it works out a little better on E-bay. I am always looking for two special road names for modern locomotives and rolling stock for Indiana...

    I also concur with NHS hobbies, low prices and free shipping for many items if you order more than $99.00.

    BOF In Process

    Thanks Josh. I have not posted any other photos yet, I am still a newbie. In a few weeks, I will put some up. The Mill is the first module up on the layout and is spread over 5 eight foot sections. Works out nicely in n-scale.

    BOF In Process

    I completed the Basic Oxygen Furnace finally tonight, and after we get it painted next week, I can add it to the layout. This was a fun project, and my first attempt ever at making something from scratch. I used foam core board and two Electric Furnace buildings and a bunch of Plastruct...

    Advice on cutting plastruct ABS tubing

    Tom, That is good to know about the power tool. I am thinking a fine enough blade should do the job for me. BOF = Basic Oxygen Furnace. They have very distinct horizontal roof vents that look a little like pac man.
