I'm about to embark on my On30 platform, but need some crossings for my track plan.  MicroEngineering doesn't have any, and I can't find any at Peco either...are there other manufacturers that make them, or will I have to handlay them?

Dear DM,
I'll see what I can find out.
Have fun!

Thanks I'm hoping to be able to pick it up at York next week...

Any word, Mr Bach-Man?

What's the ETA for the Christmas boxcar this year? http://www.bachmanntrains.com/home-usa/products.php?act=viewProd&productId=3461

Any Christmas cars on the plate for this year? (yeah, i know it's late, but i'm actually planning for next year's layout). for that matter, any on the plate for next year? all I can find are a 40ft boxcar and the gandy dancer

Both my father in law and myself have this same problem w/ our Climax locos, purchased from different dealers. I purchased mine about a year ago, his was purchased just a month or so ago. 

What's happening is that after running around the track for only a couple of minutes, the driveshaft connecting the motor to the bogies is coming loose and starts spinning freely.  this is happening on both the front and rear bogies. 

we are local to philadelphia...is this something we can bring/send in for repair?

*bump*  i know it's august, but what's the scoop? i'm getting ready to preorder a broadway limited On30 Xmas locomotive and would like to have some nice bachmann cars coupled up to it...

do you put strips of foam inside the ez track roadbed, or are you putting the glue just along the edges where it contacts the table top?

What's the preferred/best method for securing Ez Track to the table?

Any word on whether they'll be a 2009 installment of the On30 Christmas cars?

hehe..ok, i'll chalk it up to good luck then thanks

Just curious how fast other people's Climax locos are moving.  Mine moves at a slow but steady clip around the track (haven't measured time/distance yet).  I know the prototypes didn't have the need for speed, but I want to make sure that mine is operating as intended.  FWIW, I'm running DC only on the On30 track.

Thanks. now i just have to try to make it out of the shop with JUST the razor saw and not $500 worth of rolling stock...

The Plasticville bridge is no where near the look that i'm trying to get (replicating a real bridge in New Hampshire). The Lionel bridge is pretty much dead on. 

What's the best way to cut through these plastic creations? I'm guessing a very fine tooth hacksaw...

I've decided cutting is the way to go.  I'd love to scratchbuild (done lots of it in the past w/ other modeling pursuits), but with infant twins and a 3 year old, I hardly have time to enjoy my trains as it is
