Hey all,

I know the D&H isn't as celebrated a railroad as say, the UP or NYC, but still, i thought there should be a place for listing prototype information, history, etc.   

Does anyone from the UK know if the transformer plugs included in Hornby train sets are compatable to the sockets in the US?

Does anyone here know if an HO scale model of the CN #1392, or any CN h6g for that matter, exists?

Anyone who is having trouble with their steel alloy track, here is a useful tip. Take a sanding block and run it along the rails and the dirt should come off. Just blow it off with some electronics cleasner and it should be good as new!  Hope it helps.

Hi,

I bought the Bachmann GE 70 Tonner Switcher this morning (Item No. 60607), and when I started running it, it sounded like it was making a heck of a lot of clag when it ran. I was wondering if this is a common occurance on these engines. Please help. (There is no sound decoder in there by the way.)

I have a question for ALL of Bahmann Industries. As a modeler of British layouts, would it be possible for Bachmann to start retailing their UK products, Bachmann Branchlines?

You know that awesome loco, the F40PH. I noticed it didn't have a thread for itself, so I made it one. I never actually knew how much people love these engines until I read the article about it on Encyclopedia Dramatica. Here's a vid with just some of it's awesomeness:

enjoy!

Me and a Friend of mine are trying to break the record of the lonest distance covered by model train. The record is 10 miles. Who here thinks I'm crazy to do this. 

Say Yes or No before you comment.

As some of you may know, Bachmann Branchlines has taken Thomas' and Percy's tooling and put them in their starter range. Can anyone post a like of where I can buy these two? 

Alright, I know there are a couple of people across the pond who know what I'm talking about. I want to switch from HO/OO scale to Bachmann Garham Farish N scale. Does anyone know where I can get the startrer kit for cheap THATS NOT EBAY!

This was found by Simon (whom some of you might know as the creator of The British Railway Series) of The Preminant Way Forum, I give all credit to him.

BACHMANN CITY OF TRURO!!!!!!!!!!

THANK YOU BACHMANN! I take it you guys read last December's issue of Hornby Magazine. She's a bit on the steep side at a whooping $320.72 for NRM Version and $238 and up for Standard Version.

You can post anything you want to see Bachmann make in the coming years.

Personally, I want to see a N&W/Virginian R.R. "Y" 2-8-8-2

We all know that at Christmas time we see those cheap G Gauge Trains underneath peoples Christmas trees on over expensive ornaments on said trees. Anyone got anything to say about either?

Do any of you think I should Kill a Hornby Thomas. I want to make him into this.

Imagine that, but with the extended side tanks and in experimental EWS Red and Gold.

Right, we're going to try this ONE MORE TIME. If this turns out to be a disaster like the last one, I'm not re-posting it. So, What is a Loco that you desinged?

are On30 locos able to run on HO scale track, or are they so heavy, the tracks can't support them?

Aren't they cool?

Well, I think that some of you may Know about British Rail's New Engine 60163 "Tornado" A1 Pacific. It's been about 50-60 years scince the last Mailine Brit engine was built. So do you think more new steamers are on the way. Cause if there is, it had BETTER be an 8F or a 7F

I was just looking on Modelfair.com for some Class 40 diesels and i found this: http://www.newmodellersshop.co.uk/images/Trains/diesel/r2777-ews-class-08.jpg. This was made by Hornby. So just a question, why did they use the old Triang 08 mold for Diesel?

It seems that sometimes we forget what having a Model train is all about. This video helps reminds us why we get them. (I mean seriously, I can't even expect myself to keep a train looked up in it's box for 55,000,000,000 years)
