I am finally breaking ground on my railroad, and have recently took a break to look at different DCC products. There are quite a few choices out there, and I have no idea what to choose. I do have requirments though. I want to run phoenix and sierra sound, and I don't want to use battery power. I also want to be able to run a few engines at a time.

Thanks

I'd like to make a 2-8-2T for my logging railroad. Does anyone know how to make and instal a trailing truck for a 2-8-0? And are there any sites of how-to's for that?

Thanks
CSLM

Okay, just thought of this last night. What about a Spectrum 4-6-0? I know the anniversery version is "spectrum quality", but how about a real spectrum? eh? (I personally would like to obtain one and place a huge saddle tank on it  )

I'm planning my engine terminal right now, and have some ideas of how I want it to look, but I wanted to come to you guys for help. What are the things that need to be included in a steam and diesel terminal? (narrow gauge of course  )

Thanks Again Guys
CSLM

Thanks a ton

Hey Y'all,

I was just looking at the D&RGW's narrow gauge roster and thought what is the difference between the K37 and the K36. I know the K37 was made from a standard gauge consolidation, is the 36 as well. Whats the difference?

Thanks,
CSLM

Okay real stupid question, but what is the difference between the outside frame and the inside frame of a steam locomotive?

Thanks,

I would love to see the Colorado and Southern mogul in 1:20.3 spectrum! I've always loved the LGB model, and the locomotive itself, but LGB is 1:22.5, and I need 1:20.3! 

Has a 3 truck shay and a 2-4-2 from aristocraft (which I still need to modify). The 2-4-2 "Ginn Linn" is used for the mine, and the shay "Stepney", is used for the Yellow Pine Lumber Co. So, I still need a locomotive for the my road engine, and a 2-6-0 would be perfect!

I also agree with Mr. Gunslinger87 with the K28 thing. I love the K28s.. and while it would require me to widen my curves, I still would get this beautiful locomotive!

But if I had to pick between the two........ I would have to say the mogul.. that is a wonderful locomotive, and I'd love to have it on the Yellow Hills Central

Well we've decided to change the disign, and get a little ahead of ourselves in the modeling.. heheh.. we've ended up deciding on a White Pass ALCo locomotive.. Any tips for that would be great!

Thanks,

Hey Bachmann, is there anything new on the productions line for us largescalers??

Thanks
CSLM

Thank you all for your help!  I have designed a diesel and plan to use either the 45 tonner or Aristo Craft's RS3 wheels for it.

Shay

i've always have been a fan of the Bachmann 45 Tonner.. but I'd like to, like you said, bash a diesel.. but i don't know what to do to get started, what to do when I've gotten started.. yadayadayada.. any chance you guys have any sites or advice for a fisrt-time scratch builder? That would help alot 

Thanks,
Shay
