even if they were made of styrofoam, there is still enough there to kill someone, let alone that they are made of steel (and aluminum...)

Heyy does anyone know where csx line and guilford line meet in massachusetts? i have seen alot of csx on guilford track. just wondering how they get there!

The CSX 'Boston Line' connects with VC I believe somewhere around there, and somehow they wind up on Guilford. LOL Correct me if I'm wrong somebody.

I've seen the HO GP35s, had 2 of them for a while, didn't like them too much, but they ran ok even if the detail was a bit lacking. (The whole cab was misproportioned)

See if the hobby shop will let you test run it.

[trainboyH16-44]

My LHS has 2 test tracks, one for all scales DC, and another hooked up to an MRC prodigy for HO and N. Is your LHS anything like this?
Matthew

[Anonymous]

heyy guys ya my lhs has an n scale layout and a ho scale layout. I tried out the conrail and it runs good. it doesnt take switches on his layout good because its such a big engine. but i think im going too get it when i get paid at the end of the month for the usual dog walking business. lol thnx guys!

[:D] Keith

[Anonymous]

Hi Keith, www.discounttrainsonline.com are selling them at 86dollars and 10cents each. That's a good saving.
They are a bit slow but apart from that I have had no trouble with them.

[Anonymous]

Heyy Everyone! Im getting too the good part of my layout...the turn table and roundhouse. i have the atlas turntable but i need a round house. i looked at the atlas one and i dont like it. i want too create like a 5 or 6 or mayb 7 stall round house. i stocking up on engines and dont know where too put them! well my layout is coming home too me soon me and my uncle are almost done with it. when its here ill post a pic. so any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

[:D]Thnx...Keith

[trainfreek92]

hey keith you told me those stack cars ran good now?? Loco Man

[trainboyH16-44]

Wow, this thread is really on life support!
I would, if you get a lot of locos, use a few tracks on the other side of the turntable, like a yard for engines. I wish I had one of these, it would make storing my 18 engines simpler.
As for a roundhouse, whatever looks good. And don't rule out scratchbuilding, it's not that hard, and you can add more details later.
