Check this video on new releases from Bachmann at Trainfest 2010 including the N scale 4-6-0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EY1B8DeLTnY

What is a suitable N scale layout height for a room 11' x 12' and no grades ? There will be some switching.

I have just purchased a brand new N scale Spectrum F7 A/B set. When speed matched, spaced 6" apart, the A unit is much faster than the B unit. Is this common or is it a problem? I am worried that I might ruin the A unit motor if it has to do the work of pulling the rolling stock as well as the B unit.
Thank you,

I have an Bachmann 4-8-4 and I will be using the MRC 1823 Decoder and the MRC Blackbox to control it, on a DC layout. The motor is already isolated from the frame. There are three capacitors ( red arrows ) on the motor and two resistors. My question is, do I need to remove the capacitors?
  Thank you for your assistance.

Will the newer split frame (clear box) chassis fit the older 4-8-4 body shell (white box) ? I have an Union Pacific silver and grey 4-8-4 that the gears have split. Bachmann no longer produces this paint scheme or parts and will not be replaced with the same under warranty. I wouild like to purchase a newer Loco and swap chassis's.

Thanks
