Dave, I had a similar problem on a Minitrix loco years ago. The front to back play in the motor shaft was just enough to cause jamming in reverse. Solved the problem just as you suggested - adding a

The magnetic force on the armature when it receives electricity wants to move it forward or backward within its magnetic shell. So that movement when the locomotive is to reverse jams it in your

A bit off topic of group but it is model railroad related! I wonder if someone you might have a suggestion for me about the following. I have an On30 Bachmann Porter engine that uses a worm gear to

I've never had a respectable amount of RReal estate. I once had a 4'x8' plywood board, but that was for a month. Of course the occassional roundy round under the Christmas tree. We all know how long

Where there is a will there is a way. Anyone can have a layout if they really want one and small ones can be as satisfying as large ones and sometimes more so in many ways. Ron

I know how it goes. After many years and several different RR's I found myself with a 30'x50' section of the basement all mine to do with as I please. I also found I no longer had the interest in a

I'm working on a 2x10 (plus staging) interchange layout.?? A main line going through, a branch line terminating (so I can have a turntable and engine house), and a few local industries.?? A 1900 time

Back in the 1990's I had to go to "MODULAR". There was a decent modular group in the Sacramento (Roseville) area so I joined it. I was close to retirement. In 2000 my wife passed away and I had to

Like many model railroaded, I often thought about the 'empire' I would build: locomotive servicing facility, turntable, roundhouse, long mainline through towns and rural areas, branch lines,

Welcome and good luck with your project. Merry Christmas to you and all the members here. Ron

I am just arriving to the group. I have been in HOn3 for years but our recent move from a large house to a small townhome forces me to reconsider all my model Railroading to a simple 10' X 20" world.

As the owner of the groups I set them up to mirror what was on the old yahoo groups as that was the easiest way to get everything transferred over.? I have no intention of changing things at this

I know that when this group was first on Yahoo it ran out of space for the files section, so sldfiles (21 MB, plus 6.9 Photos), sldfiles2 (17 MB, plus 4.1 Photos), and SLDFiles3 (25 MB plus 88 kB

Hi all. I should clarify that the small layouts mentioned by Phil are relating more to the various modules on a much larger than micro sized modular layout that is in the process of being dismantled.

Visited your website.(3AM!)? Found it very informative and entertaining. I left a reply on your blog. Australia is a beautiful area.. Been there once.... Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. Great

Having only just joined this group, this was a very sad read. I had the great pleasure of working with Jack on the original Small Layout Design Group, all those many years ago. He was indeed an

This comment is OT - I had not received an E-Mail from this discussion list since December 13, 2018, and had assumed that the list had gone quiet. Glad to see that it is alive and well. Jim van

Here's a fantastic new video from the incredibly talented Luke Towan of an underground/subway station that gives plenty of ideas for a small/micro layout. It could be adapted to almost any
