What is a good % grade for  Ho ?

Would anyone happen to know the spacing for telephone poles in HO? .I sure dont wanna havta go measure it

Help I changing out my rolling stock wheels soon  ,ans as usual I don't know what to order or who to get it from     I'm lookin for steel wheels with steel axles for Bachmann,atlas and assorted cars    33" or 36" and whats the difference .I'm assuming one is longer that the other ,and which one is the most popular ?

Anyone every order any of the Lampost off of ebay .Directly from Hong Kong ...If so what did ya wind up gettin ? And these say their approx 6 volt ,Thats kinda a weird voltage for Ho or am I just weird ?   

P.S. I didn't shout this time 

I need the pros and cons of Bachmann's Diesels ... EMD GP40. EMDGP38...EMDSD40...GE B23-7 /B30-7.......SOMEONE PLEASE WARN ME IF ANY OF THESE HAVE TRACTION TIRES. I'VE HAD MY  FILL OF TRACTION TIRES !!!

Ok ..I need the Bachmann part # for some traction tires,These are 20 yr old diesels Santa fe  and Burlington (same chassis ) These are four wheel drive locos with the back 2 wheels (1 axle) having traction tires .theses are the cheap engines ,I've tried making them from RTV and have got them to work ,but not exactly right .I want to get then fully functional  mostly for sentimental value  Or if not a Bachmann # Some other manufactures # that will work.
                                                         Thanks Sloan

I'm having some trouble getting some new couplers to line up (height wise)
replacing all couplers with Kadee #5s .Was looking at Kadee #44 (short underset) to adjust the height a little .Are these compatible  or do I need to get something else ?

Need  supplier of Real Wood  HO Telephone poles (cheap if thats possible )    Sloan

Need to know what the best grease to grease the loco gear boxes with . it doesn't have to be the absoultly best .We use to use Vaseline back in the 60 's   Sloan

Bachmann said "If the loco's are over 5 yrs old ,Finding the Traction Tires are my problem "   They said a part # might help  anywhere on the net to find a parts breakdown on the locos ?

Anyway I added  2 sections of nickel silver track  into a steel alloy  oval to make it a little longer  1st day it worked fine ..2nd day I got a big voltage drop on the nickel silver sections ...3rd day its gone back to working fine .ok who's been here and done this I'd like to know why and is ok to mix the track ? Sloan

Does anyone know  why the centering spring "must" be installed on top pf the coupler ?...I've done several with it underneath and it seems to work just fine   Sloan

 Gonna rebuild my layout .I've read the pros and cons .But I like experience better ........    Steel Track or Nickel -Sliver  ??   That IS the question People   Sloan

I need to get some Rubber Tires for a 20 yr old Bachmann Diesel Loco
They fit Around The steel drive wheels  >Somebody be nice and let me know Something      Sloan

Ok Yall a real dumb question ..Is the Kadee #256 screws  actually  size 2-56 screws  ?  I just hate ordering the wrong stuff     Sloan

Ok I've been totally convinced to usr kadee #5 couplers .Now I'm wanting to retrofit an old Bachmann set (20yrs  or more ) I think I'm gonna need new Draft gear boxes and lids Can someone tell me which ones are the easiest to install  or just tell me "What the deal is " cause I ain't really got a clue   
                                                                                                     Sloan

Is there a kit availabe to retrofit the old trains(20 yrs) to e-z mate couplers ? Or do I just have to improvise ?
