BACHMANN IRON DUKE

[Anonymous]

I THINK I AM GOING TO BUY A BACHMANN IRON DUKE TRAIN SET AND BUY SOME EXTRA TRACK TO EXPAND IT. I AM GOING TO PUT IT IN ABOUT A 3X3 (ITS N SCALE).ANY IDEAS OF A THEME THAT WILL FIT IN A 3X3 AND CAN THE THEME INCLUDE A BRIDGE PLEASE?

MANY THANKS IN ADVANCE

First of all, typing in all caps is the online version of yelling. It is considered rude and many people get offended by it.

Second, a guy just sent me to this link. It is full of great N scale ideas.

Heh, whenever I hear the word's "Iron Duke", I keep thinking of the mid 1800s British locomotive of the same name (made famous, at least to me, in "Railroad Tycoon"). Was a fairly decent replacement for the two early 1800s locomotives which took about 3 months to get from Philadelphia to Baltimore...

Hmm, that's somewhat close to your period, (1880s?) right, SpaceMouse?

Reminds me of the Pontiac 4 cyl. that was half of their V8 eng. Anyone else remember that?
