And it’s hard to argue with success, and Lionel together with O have more success and product than S. For 50 years we have been pushing the size of S and decrying being held back by Flyer - what if

So Fred, Do you just 0-5-0 cars up to the section? Does it have a dedicated set of cars to push around up there? I'd say you're well on your way with the photo stuff. Jamie Bothwell Bethlehem, PA

DCC has had two ways to synchronize chuffs.? But I don't know if all decoders offered this. One is a "chuff" input that you connect to a switch that is triggered by a cam on a driver axle (and as I

I have two Lionel K5 Pacifics that I got from my afore mentioned Uncle that have two wheel pilot trucks.? My AC Gilbert Pacific has the appropriate 4 wheel pilot truck. Andrew Parker

Jim, I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with in terms of a switching layout!? I'm sure it will be inspirational! My experience has been that smaller does not have to mean less engaging!

Jim: Congrats on still being an active model railroader at 80 years of age! What you're describing is SO important to us as we age. Namely: GOALS which gives us things to ACCOMPLISH. When our dreams

Conversion cars are nothing new. Back when I was a child with AF, I had some cars with a knuckle coupler on one end and a link coupler on the other end. I seem to remember a prototype narrow gauge

I'm enjoying the thread that Andre's posting has generated. I too am accumulating orbits of the sun. I'll be 80 in a few weeks. I am not increasing my rail size but I have decreased my layout. There

Hard to believe that any HO mfg'er would be proud of that mess of a drive design. LOL! Andre

While Gilbert did use the Mantua/Tyco General set for their FY&P old timer in HO, it is just the opposite as to the streamline passenger cars.? Actually Mantua/Tyco used Gilbert streamline passenger

Tom: Glycerine is a carbohydrate, not an oil. I believe it is in a group of what are called "sugar alcohols". It is completely soluble in water. *Google it!* Google probably has a more succinct
