I have reading and on occasion posting to this board for awhile now and have some questions.

1) what type of oils do you use to lubricate your locos?  I have 5 in service.

2) could someone educate me about turnouts I here you talk about #5 #6 turnouts please explain what the numbers mean? 

I sent my 2-6-2 UP Prarie in around thanksgiving and a new loco came back about 3 weeks later However they said at this time of year the turn around was about 6 weeks.

I also had the same happen last night with a tank car, I was given. It was not a big deal but it did make me wonder about quality control a bit.  In any event I popped it back in and car is now in service.

Thanks everyone for your replies.  As with everyone else We have a train and village under our tee. I also have my 2-6-2 Steam loco out for the holiday on my main layout which normally all diesel. Merry Christmas

Just Curious Anyone know how the history of trains under the tree at Christmas Started?

Thanks to the service Department for the quick turn around time relacing my broken 262 Union Pacific Parie Locomotive.

Well there you gto mr. Bach Man, a new niche market.

This year I added a homemade Hanukkah train to my holiday train collection. However I was wondering if anyone has ever commercially produced a Hanukkah train? Anyone know?
