Hi all.

Some things on the US scene are new for me. And one thing the size of the wheels. Why? Because almost all of my rolling stock (N Scale) has plastic wheels and I want to change that. Metal wheels will give them  a bit more weight and I'll add some more. After I read Mike Confalone's thrid book, I really want to try all of this.

Doubt came into my way when I was seacrhing for replacement wheelsets, and I saw 33" and 36" sizes.

How can I know what should I use for my cars?

Thanks.

I had just started working on my new layout, the last time I had built a layout was about fifteen years ago.  This time, like most of use I had a little less to work with to build it.  I have gotten myself back into scratch building as much as possible.  So when it came to my roadbed I started researching what I wanted to use, foam or cork?  Foam seemed too soft and springy, but it looked more affordable then cork.  My first step was where do I find cork sheets.  Researching on the web I had found out I need to look for a roll of cork underlayment for flooring.

Does anyone know a source in HO scale for a driveshaft driven generator used on some late 60s caboose trucks?

I'm kitbashing an Atlas extended vision caboose into an accurate Northern Pacific version.  The NP used this style of generator drive initially before balancing problems forced a change to a belt driven style.

Thanks
