Thanks

I reside on Long Island, New York

I did see anything off the shelf like a 5' by 5' at home depot

I didn't ask either

I would like to make a layout that is 5' by 5'
Is there a piece of plywood, or other board,
that size so I don't have to cut a 4' by 8'

If so, where could I get it.
If not, any ideas?

I am making a layout similiar to

Thanks

Hey,

Check out this score I got a train show...



  • 3 right #6 crossovers
  • 3 left #6 crossovers
  • 2 left #5 switches
  • 2 right #5 switches
  • 2 Y #5 switches
  • 4 - 3" straight 4 per card (16 pieces total)
  • 6 - 9" straight 4 per card (24 pieces total)
  • 1 - 33 1/4" - 6 degree curve 4 per card (4 total)


all are new in card, except two #6 crossover,
both a right and left, each are without controllers


Guess how much?

$150 for all


I only wish I had more room to set up everything
(P.S.) I am only happy for the deal, not trying to brag

if you are making a 4 foot by 4 foot, instead of a loop, try a triangle layout, like the Acela Express layout

each leg of the triangle
1 x 19"                =15 degrees
3 x 11 1/4"          =90 degrees
1 x 19"                =15 degrees
total                    =120 degrees * 3 = 360 degrees (circle)

add 2 x 5"

the 19" radius provides an easement into the 11 1/4" radius for better operation

I find the triangle more interesting than a loop

Mr. Bachman

For those of us long timers to the board who bought the tubes about a year ago, how about sending us a couple sets of the coupler upgrades gratis?

Thanks

I was thinking of getting this engine, I would like your opinions please.


How does it run

How is its details

How difficult is it to change the rapidos to Microscale, Red Caboose, or the new Bachmann dummy knucle coupler

I know in the product description section on this website it says "This locomotive performs best on E-Z Track® curves with a minimum radius of 19 inches" however
what about 11" radius, what about 11" with a 19" easement?

finally, does anybody have any information on LMS ROADNAME?

Thanks
Ed

I would like to get the MDT switcher also.

I thought all Bachmann n scale products were now comming with their new dummy knuckle coupler.

Perhaps the Bach Man can clarify.
