Not to be cranky about it but isn't that why most forums discourage the - 'what color is your favourite ....?' polls that were trendy for a while. Just a thought. If you think they're a waste of bandwidth, space, time, whatever, neat thing about forums. They have a subject, if the subject has the word 'contest'
If the first one hadn't been the Santa Fe engine I might not have caught on so fast. however I've seen that picture a bunch of times while researching how I might want ot do my dream santa fe layout so I was questioning what was up. Still very cool.

I finally got the drop in board for the Kato NW2 I got over the christmas break and was ready to give it a shot. However, for the life of me I can't figure out how to get the shell off. I don't want to just yank and hope I get it right, and a bit of bending and prying has only resulted in a panicked moment of when I popped the front truck off. Fortunately it appears it's supposed to come off like that. Any suggestions?
I just got the scenic ridge set that is n-scale just last weekend. My $0.02 on this kind of set. A) You get a lot of experience with a lot of techniques really fast. B) You have something to 'play with' and see if this hobby is for you long term. I think this is a lot better than building an oval, or trying to build grand central station in a spare room with your initial exhuberance about the hobby. C) I don't worry about 'future expansion' as some of the others have pointed out
A year ago when I started reading this forum and debating what to do on my first 'room size' layout I laughed at the thought of someone crazy enough to hand l I've played around with some Code 80 flex from Atlas, and have recently aquried a few sticks of the Code 55 Peco. Then the December issue (believe that's the one, not at home to look visiting family out of town) had an article on hand laying the switches with out the jigs. A very good read, if you look at the issue you can see
Very impressive program especially considering the cost of it and the community behind it compared to the other programs I've looked at.
