Large / Double Track Curves
March 19, 2008, 11:09:33 AM
I am constructing a layout in our 30' x 40' attic.  I would like to run a double track main line around the perimeter of this space but not sure how to handle the curves.

Is it possible to bend / tweak the Bachmann curve track a little bit to increase the radius so the outside main line is concentric with the standard inside main line curve?

I don't want to use brass track from other manufacturers unless there is just no other way. 

Surely, someone here has solved this problem before.  Thanks in advance.

Large / Master List ?
December 24, 2007, 10:34:18 AM
I'm new to the board and new to the large scale hobby, having just purchased my first Bachmann sets this holiday season. 

I picked up a Northern Lights set at Sams' Club for what appeared to be a steal of a deal at only $117.  Then I found this board and started reading.  Since then I've added a Wonderland Flyer set (#90045, I think) so now I also have an Annie locomotive. 

My question is this.  I often see reference to set ID numbers on Ebay and other online sellers, but for train sets that must be discontinued items.  Is there a master list posted or available somewhere, so a newbie like me can find info on the different sets offered over the years, or for example, if I purchase a caboose from set 90028, can I look up set 90028 and find out what other cars belong to that set?

Sorry to be so long winded.  Thanks in advance for any help.
