Hey all,
After some digging I finally landed some C-C N&W passenger cars.Any ideas on some lighting kits?I was told to do LED lights but I thought those were for DCC I'm still on DC if anyone has some advise please help me out.I would greatly appreciate it.

Is there a good way to hinge a layout so it will fold in half to store when not in use?Or would it be easier to make it in sections for storage?

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!

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

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

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

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
