QUOTE: Originally posted by TrainFreak409 Finally, after years of dreaming, I finally decided to dish out the money for a 10 pack of Deluxe Innovation's RoadRailers! And here they are! These things are awesome! I highly reccomend these to any of you N scalers out there![8D]
Is it REAL? or Just 1:29 scale?
Long live Outdoor Model Railroading.

QUOTE: Originally posted by TrainFreak409 Norfolk Southern has some RoadRailer trains. I've never personally seen one, but I love the concept. I've always like the more unusual rolling stock that you don't really see much, or that is only used by a few railroads. I'd like to see a nice long string of the G scale ones. They are impressive in N scale, they should be even more so in a garden railroad.[:D] I'm thinking about spending another $115 on another 10 pack, just so I can get a longer train.[8D][;)]

I have been thinking about getting some of those, do they track well? Any issues on turnouts?

QUOTE: Originally posted by kevnbety [ Grande Man, I know how to make the ditch lights on your DH163LO "wig-wag" or flash back and forth like they would at a grade crossing (if that is what you are talking about). These CV values are assuming that you have separate bulbs for each ditchlight, and that they are hooked to the F1 & F2 outputs. CV 51 - 106, CV 52 - 107, CV 62 - 196, & CV 63 - 064. When you push F2 on your DCC controler, it will cause the ditchlights to flash. There is also a "hold over" time, and they will flash for a few seconds AFTER F2 is released. I did this mod on one of my Kato SD90s, and it is a neat effect! Hope that helps!

C: ...it almost looks like you sprayed the car then wiped the one areas out with paint thinner or something to fill the edges along the supports. D: ...Good job.
