Sure I'll take you ultra power?
If it's free that is.

That is correct, you cna get away with running it on 15" curves just not very fast.
I mean it looks stupid but it does run on 15"
And on the big boy I have no experience with it other than the fact that the gears suck on anything that big.

I've got a house with a front porch that is screaming to have a screened porch.  I really don't know where to search for "screen" in HO scale.  If anyone knows of a manufacturer or a substitute product that would pass for screen, I would appreciate some information on it.

Secondly, I'm looking for a tender dog house around the 1940 era to go on my Bachmann 2-8-2 SY.  I've checked Walther's, e-bay and Cal Scale and haven't found one suitable. Again, any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, Bill

And as for that dog house may I reccomend purchasing and kitbashing a N&W freight tender?

3 words. ATLAS TRU TRACK!
It connects to ez track and it works a million times better.
Either that or just suck it up and use regular manual switches..
I have 50+ switched and they're all manual..

Why are you guys coming up with makeshift ideas when precision craft makes the perfect screen type and size?

Go to Misc. then go to screen..

I wouldnt reccomend rubbing alcohol, however, acetone works nicely.
just make sure it's not a plastic resevoir if you use either one.

Hi everyone

Okay first I am sorry for asking so many questions tonight.

I was at my not so Local Hobby Shop today. About an hour's drive.  This is worth every second! But They sell used Engines there and I fell in love the Rivarossi HO Streamlined version of the NYC famous J3 Hudson in grey. It is in beautiful condition I can run it before I buy it. I trust the store that is selling it. They are very honest. It is not DCC and there is no warranty with the item though which concerns me a bit. The engine is about 10 yrs old. But it looks pristine. They want 125 for it.  I bet I could maybe get it for 110 but not too sure as I am asking to put in on a payment plan.

I would love an opinion from anyone here. I am going back there on Wednesday anyway to pick up some other stuff.  I cannot find the engine on eBay which is my first place to check.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Robert

Go for it I hope you enjoy it I recently bought one and am very happpy with it other than a little motor noise and complicated wiring it's a very good puller and runner I can tell you right now it's not gonna pull alot of cars maybe 5-6.   
As for the price I personally think it's a realy good price I got mine for 150 but it had some minor mechanical problems so if nothing is wrong with it GET IT!
