I have a terrible time trying to put the steel bachman track sections together.  The rail wants to push the other rail in the ties and not slide the sections together.  Is there a secret to doing this in an easy way.  I am use to O gauge track and it goes together easy.

Is all or most G scale stuff 3 ft narrow  gauge oriented?

does the smoke on the k27 get blown out or does it just drift up on its own?

does anyone have a recomendation for a paint that would look like the sides of new rail.  I looked at it today in the yard and it is a hard  color to try and figure out how to go about mixing it.

If I buy a standard 1.22 size bachmann box car, wil it be scaled for standard 4 ft 8.5 inch track or will it be 3 foot narrow gauge.

who makes a scale sized g scale ballast.  I want to mount my track for my K27 on a walnut board with scale sized ballast of the type used by the D&RGW.  Thanks in advance for any help and where to buy the ballast.

if I want to order a new exhaust stack for my k27 how do I go about doing that?

to get the best prices on bachmann g scale.

does anyone know if someone makes builders plates for the bachman k27 or decals for such.  I just discovered that in the bag of parts are two curved plastic circles for builders plates for the front of the boiler.  I think they would look dumb just glued on black but would be super cool with a plate decal on.  thanks in advance.

how long is a bachmann d&rgw narrow gauge g coach and how long is a accrucraft one.

What kind of smoke fluid do you use in the k27 and how much do you put in.  Do you just drop it in the stack.  There are no instructions about it in the manuel.

Why are there so many differnent scales withing the category of G scale?   Also why does the new bachmann K 27 end up with 20. 3 and not just 20 to one and why the change from 22? to one?
I;m used to O scale which for 90% of the time is O48

Does anyone make dry transfers or decals for d&rgw engines and cars ( narrow gauge)

What is the length of the engine and tender when connected together.  I need to know for a shel I am building.  You see the engine is here in box but is a present and I do not get it for a month.

I I want to put the bachmann k27 and one accuscale passenger on a display track, how long should the track be.  thanks

will the bachman d&rg passenger look small behind my K27?  One dealer tells me I have to get a accrucraft car for over 200.00 to look to scale is that correct.

To run standard dc to track how much voltage will be required for the k 27 and how much current capacity.  Will a lionel transformer with a bridge rectifier and filter cap be workable, or will I need a special unit.  Hope you guys are not getting tired of my questions.  again thanks in advance

I would like to add sound as I am used to the Lionel legacy sound so quality of sound is paramount.  I am not interested in dcc just common dc with control to activate sound.  I was on the qsi site and like the unit you add to the standard power pack but was not impressed with the quality of the sound that was available on the samples.  Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance for any help.  Dave.

what is the minimum diameter curve this engine will run on.  I am going to make a around the ceiling track with silverton pass cars behind it.  How many of these cars will it pull on level track.?  I am sorta new to g scale but I used to have a big hauler battery set with a large track plan out in the patio for kids to use when they came, but I think I am getting a lot better detailed loco with this one I hope.
