Looking for ad
Hi,
I remember an ad for a new type of rail connector or module rail connector in the magazine, and I can't find it.
It looks like a short length of track that can be repeatedly connected together. Also at angles.
Not the little metal connectors. This was something new.
Anyone know what it is?

Atlas n scale code 55 turnouts
Hi
I am in the early stages of building a layout and am using Atlas track (which may have been a mistake). As my rolling stock runs over a turnout every axle does a little jump. After much trying to see what is going on I have come to the conclusion that the frog isn't deep enough for the wheel flanges, so they ride up. My rolling stock is new, so not pizza cutters. One wagon, in particular, is derailing as it does the little jump, which is very frustrating.
Has anyone else had this issue?
New Walther's Curved Turnouts
Hey all, first post here. Been lurking for awhile but am finally working on a track plan concurrently with bench work construction after moving to a house with a basement last fall. I do not have a ton of space, just a 6'x8' table top with an around-the-walls branch line around 3 walls that is roughly 18' in total length. Considering this is my first solo-build layout (I was in a club in college), I feel like this is a right-sized first layout project.
Queston on smoke box color on UP 844
When Athearn Genisis made the last run of the HO UP 844 a year or so ago I purchased one, but being in the middle of layout construction, I put it on the shelf unopened.
Today I decided to open it and put it on the layout. I was totally shocked by the smoke box and the fire box being pure bright white, not the usual smokey silver color. Looks awful. I didn't even take the tender out of the packaging.
making turnouts with fast tracks tools
In the "greatest frustrations" thread there was some talk about building turnouts, either with fast tracks tools or without or with just some of them (joe's poor-man jigless approach).
I didn't want to drag that thread too far off topic, so I started a new one, because this is of interest to me.
when did Walthers buy PROTO 2000
When did Walthers buy out the Proto 2000 line from Life-Like?
And what years did Life-Like produce the FA-2 in HO?
Oh NO!!! Broken link to Bruce Petrarca's video
I wanted to look for further advice on AutoReversing a turntable.
I found Bruce's article (Jan 2015) and the link on page 8 is broken.
(mrdccu.com/curriculum/wiring.htm).
Also, NCE's user group links to the same missing video.
Bruce? Are you there? Can you help?
TIA!
