Hey again,
I know the questions just keep coming.I've got some basic electrical q's.
I know there is AC/DC/DCC and I'm not sure what else.Right now I'm running a standard transformer from a Yard Boss set.I'm not sure if it DC/or DCC.I'm wanting to run my #608 4-8-4 j I'm pretty sure this is DCC I also have switches,and soon lighted cars and houses.I have an old Tyco AC/DC transformer I could use but I'm sure I'd fry my train.This is something I do not want to do since I put so much time and effort into getting one for under $50.00(new)Can anyone please help me out?I'm sorry for so many questions.I would just rather ask people that know what they are doing instead of trial and error.(That only works on non-motorized modeling)Thanks in advance to all the great people that have been answering all my annoying questions!
                                                    Respectfully,Destroyer

Thanks again Brokemoto,
Here is what all I've found,PECO NL21 4-6-0 JUBILEE CLASS "RENOWN", NO. 5713,GRAFAR 1801 5 4-6-0,GRAHAM FARISH "MERE HALL" 4-6-0 #1579,
Graham Farish 4-6-0 English great Western.They all look pretty close 'cept the Great Western.That one has some crazy trim covering the top of the wheels.They are all 10 wheelers but they are all in the U.K. so shipping is almost $50.00 (OUCH)You are educated more than I,what one would you recomend?If you need pics they are all on e-vil bay under N scale 4-6-0
Thanks again.Destroyer

WOW ,
That is incredible!Talk about the well of knowledge.I might have to wait on this one untill tax time.The closest thing I can find is a 4-6-0 English Graham Farnish.Could that one be kit bashed do you think? I really do appreciate the info.Thanks a million!
                                                          Respectfully,Destroyer

Actually,
Juat by nails in the same gauge but a bit longer.I find picture frame nails to work good.Heat the end up push it through and BAM!Track nails for E-Z track

How are you going to use track nails with EZ-Track?

I bought my compressor on ebay with the miosture bag and a psi regulator for about $40.00 some times your local hobby store might have them for $80.00

Thanks,
I'm starting to feel welcome.People are helping me with N scale Q's and being friendly.I think I will like it here.If any one has any Transformer,Gundam,Berserk,Star Wars,Dragon Ball Z,or painting Q's feel free to ask.

I'm full of questions(probably comon for a beginer)
  Does anyone know the train type of the Ol' 97? Hackshaw Hakens wrote a song about it decades ago.I would like to land one.
                                                                      Thanks,Destroyer

TRACK NAILS!!!

Hey everyone,
I'm new to the boards,new to the hobby.About as close as I got was the H/O scale sets I played with as a kid.I also collect vintage Transformers.I bought an old Tyco Transformer H/O set about a year ago and just saw the 4-8-4 J class recently and decided to give it a go.

I would of never thought I would be getting into a new hobby with the cost of my toy habit.I guess it was the awww feeling of the N&W #611 .I remembered the rush I felt going on board as a kid.It was one of the best memories of my life.I was scared to death when the initial blast of steam came out on take off.

If anyone could give me some pointers on cool products,compatability,and the differance between the modern 4-8-4 J and the classic.Also where to get the best deals on one.I'm running a 4-8-4 Northern temporarly.What is funny It calls for a 19'' radius and I run it wide open on 11.25 wityh no problems.
 
Anyway,Thanks for having me and sorry about the spelling!
                                                                     Respectfully,TGD

Hey,
I was wondering what the differances are to the modern and the old style one other that the light?I was on the 611 back in 84 or 85 I was only 7 I got to go inside the engine it was a great experience.I just recently realized that this loco came out and decided to start collecting and building.If someone could help in this area I could make a decision on the one I want to buy.Thanks in advance for the help.
