I'm thinking about building a small N Scale pizza layout with Kato 117mm track. I just want to make a circle so it will fir on a 1x1' piece of wood. Any ideas about what locos would run. I'd love to find a small steam engine but the only loco I can find are the trams that Kato sells. I really don't want to model a city scene so I'm looking at other options

Thanks-Tim

Good evening, all.

I'm looking for information on MKT's roster numbering for their heavyweight cars. Specifically, their number series of 12-1 sleeping cars. I've checked between the three reference books I own and searched online, to no avail. Is there anyone here that might be able to shed some light on their roster numbering system?

Thank you in advance!

I have a brass Alco D-150 3-unit Gas Turbine. Lead and middle units are powered, with the original motors. I am looking at repowering these units and am looking for suggestions on repowering kits. Thank you.

After converting to DCC not too long ago I might add, the options seem endless as to what you can now do to create a realistic operating railroad, signals, lighting, cross bucks, bells, camp fires, head lights on automobiles, street lights, clickity clack, break squeals, rail crickets, and real crickets, barn animals, babbling brooks and streams, and of course diesel or steam locomotive sounds. Id like to get some input on how folks truly feel about sound overall before I start dropping some coin on it.
