HO / Re: Ready to Mount Couplers

Hey D:  That is a great suggestion!! Unfortunately, my 11 year old grandson lives 600 miles away.  Maybe I can find a neighborhood substitute.

HO / Ready to Mount Couplers
May 20, 2010, 04:00:40 PM
I am trying to use some Kadee #502 Bettendorf Trucks with ready-to-mount couplers.  Am having a very hard time in getting the "inside black centering spring" installed.  Clumsy me, I guess.  Does anyone have a "trick-of-the-trade" for this installation.  Thanks.

HO / Spectrum HO 2-10-2

Bachman has a Spectrum HO 2-10-2 DCC with Tsunami sound.  It says that the decoders are dual mode and will work on DC.  My question is, will the sound work on DC as well?

HO / Re: ground throw for turnouts
April 04, 2010, 05:00:08 PM
One can buy manual Bachmann turnouts.  All of the remote Bachmann turnouts that I have can be thrown manually.  All of the turnouts on the rail lines that I grew up with were manually thrown.  I thought it might be interesting to have ground throws on my turnouts.  Guess I will have to purchase a couple and try them.  Seems as if no one uses these.  But thanks anyway.

Has anyone used Caboose Industries ground throws with Bachmann EZ turnouts?  If so how were they installed?

Thanks,

HO / country dirt or gravel roads

Does anyone have any helpful hints as to modeling country roads.  They would be dirt or gravel.  Not much wider than one lane.

Thanks,

Has anyone downloaded the ebook, "Model Train Help", by Anderson?  If so, was it worth the $40?

HO / Installing EZ Ni/Ag #5 or #6 turnouts
July 06, 2009, 09:39:58 AM
Is there a trick to installing these turnouts.  It seems to me that you have to shave some of the roadbed to allow the attachment of track.  Any help will be appreciated.

HO / painting and using ballast with E-Z track
April 17, 2009, 09:40:04 AM
For those of you that use Ni/Silver E-Z track.  Do you paint the plastic base?
If so, what paint do you use?  Do you ballast the track?  If so, what product
do you use?  Thanks

HO / Passenger set Pullman green
April 15, 2009, 11:29:06 PM
Bachmann Spectrum #89525 is an HO heavyweight 4 car passenger set in Pullman green.  What is the minimum radius for E-Z track that these cars could use in a reasonable operation?  Thanks, whm2255.
