HEY,
Nice set up!The vid looked great!

I was speaking of HO scale and larger I should of been more specific.If I took enough time I'm sure I could stencil out the road names ect.I might give it a try after I see the size of the lettering.I'm in the proces of dumping off all my DBZ(Dragon Ball Z) toys and some other stuff to make room.I did find a Norfolk Southern sheet but they are all sold out and don't know if they are getting more.Where should I look for the best deals for the loco labels?After I get everything going and I get my stencils made I'd be willing to help anyone else out.Besides it only cost .40 to ship out stencil patterns.Give me about a month for anyone looking for the help.Anyways Thanks again Brokemoto.My friend got me a life like country cottage and church I can't wait to get started.I'll send you some pics when finished if my junk 50/50 cam will work lol.Later guys.

Yes, TGD, I did get the e-Mail.  I will go into my passenger car box and see what I have.  I will then get back to you off list.

It looks like anyone who wants to paint N&W passenger cars will have to fudge the road names and car numbers from the steam locomotive sheet, as the font on the passenger cars was the similar to  that on the steam locomotives.   The spacing might be a bit funny, though.  Then, maybe there is an old NorthEast set out there, but I do not know.

If you look at shows, sometimes you can find N&W passenger cars, but you must look.  You can also join the ya-HOO! group, N Scale Yard Sale, and post a 'wanted'.

The only N scale J ever manufactured, of which I am aware, is B-mann's.  They had a Standard Line version of it.  They recently upgreaded it to SPECTRUM. which was not a boad move.

In another words good luck to me

Everyone came out with the 4-6-4 j before bachmann did and everyone bought all the stuff out before the Bachmann fans could get 'em.I personally think they should re-release a set of n scale cars for it.Still the hunt continues!

I looked at the Micro Scale website, but could not find any decals for the N&W passenger cars. Oh well. Sully

That is almost the same thing my yard boss TF has but it only has 2 instead of 3.I think I'm going to try it out tonight

My Bachmann controler (the one that came in a set with a E60P) Has a AC connection and an DC (to track) connection and on my AC connection i have about three switches connected to (bachmann E-Z Track Switches have lil' boxes that you can hook together with one AC wire leading ino one of them and yet u can power all three switches) the AC side and i can throw two swithes at the same time while my train is running and my trains will not slow down or even stop

Hey Brokemoto,
I sent you an email did you not get it?I've been having alot of failure notices and return emails too many problems with yahoo.I'll try again though.If it don't work I guess tag me first and I'll respond.Later.

P.S.Thanks again!

Hi,
I'm new as well welcome.I wish I could help but I'm clueless as well.I know you can get the blue prints through Bachmann that might be a good start to help you pop it apart.As far as decoders I don't even know what that is.Sorry for absolutly nothing but welcome all the same.

Thanks for the heads up.I was going to use air brush thinner!

Hey Glenn and Moto,
I do paint.I have an Aztec dual action.I've just never done lettering on someting so small.I'm defanatly not sure of all the abreviations 'cept MP I know what C-C is I just don't know what PRR(Pullman Rivirossi?) I hope RR stand for rail road if not I'm clueless.Or maybe Rivirossi?Just kidding guys I'm really actually starting to learn the terms.I've never really done train painting just basicly Transformers(More than meets the eye)Very popular 80's toys not power TFs.Model cars,Real cars and some house painting.I also painted alot of Ral-Partha pewter mini figures.Would any of the old Santa-Fe table top cars look right?I'm just not real experienced in train lore.I just know I like them and want to build something really cool.Maybe like a country/edge of small town scene.Anyway Thanks again you guys.About those cars!Let me know.

The MP Streamlines will look silly behind a J. They are old Trix shells. THe cars are too short. THe trucks & couplers are worse.
MP only makes 3 body styles: Coach, Dome, Observation. They may look decent if pulled by the MP FP unit.

The MP heavyweights have a few more body styles. Getting a PRR set may look OK behind a J.

Your best bet is to find a RR/ConCor set. You may have to hunt them down on *bay or a swap meet. You could get lucky at ToyTrainHeaven or a ELHS that buys old sets.

Hey,
Yeah,I read in another post that it will slow it down or can't run both.Electrical wise I'm a meat head.I always burn something up or catch a fire.Bad thing is I know the differance between power and ground and hot and cold wires.I think it is a curse.Anyway I was thinking on using my bachmann for the lights ect and my vintage Tyco for the train.At least untill I get something better.I have all the know how to build most scenary so I think I'm good there.I think I was going to do 2 layouts.I wanted to build an N scale custom Transformers train for the fun pretty small about 2'x3' and I was going to do a large layout with 3 seperate trains maybe 2 to start with.I was thinking about a 8'x12' Thanks for all the help for the new guy.I'm always open to tips.

Hi again,
Anyways,I found some good deals on 4 differant passenger car sets.I'm planning on custom painting them for my #608 and #611 I just need some advise on what ones would look best and work best for lighting.They are all new with metal wheels.Sets come with 2 coaches,1 observation car,and 1 vista dome car.They kinda resemble the style of the Pohwatten Arrow.(I hope I spelled that right)I think they are made by Model Power.Any advice?
Thanks in advance!

Hey,
Thanks,so it is all pretty simple.I had no idea what DCC was.So I can run the train on any DCC or DC voltage as long as it don't excede 12 volts.I have 2 AC spots on my yard boss transformer so know I know what to do with that.Thanks again!

Hi,
Does anyone have any of the rubber figures for a 1985 Tyco/Irwin Transformers brand train?Or any parts for that matter box inserts cutouts.I'm only missing one figure but it would be nice to have extra stuff on hand.Thanks,Destroyer

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!
Table top transit/Carpet City central.I find that ironic since that is what I'm doing but very funny!

Come on! You need a nice heavy consist behind that Centennial! 

I usually use mine to pull my Roadrailers...But I'm only running on the TableTop Transit line or the Carpet City central.

Nice senary Bob!I'm jealous!
