How about HO scale Brightline trains please

Hello everyone. I have two HO  double deck passenger cars #13248 that I wsnt to disasdemble for repainting.  How do tjese cars come appart? Thabks!!

I really like the 4-6-2. I'll take on in the Southern scheme. :-)

Thank you! I plan to run passenger cars So I'll go for a 100 watt at least. I really would love to get a scale Hudson, But they can be a bit pricy.

Hey Guys,
Can I run a Williams steam locomotive using a Lionel PowerMax Power pack? The PowerMax puts out 40 wats. Or am I going to need a more powerful power pack?
Thanks

I'm exited to see the bluetooth technology in williams!!!

I'd love to see them too! And maybe a close to scale catenary system as well. That would be great!

Hey Lee F.
I'm sorry to hear about your house. I love mine. We bought ours about two years ago.  and I hated renting. I hope that you can someday own again. There isn't anything like owning your home. Post some pics (if you can) of the progress of your layout. I'd love to see it.

Just an Update. This layout of mine goes through so many changes! Soon I will post pics of the progress. I've decided to give my son my O gauge stuff, but we will run it on OUR layout. I will get more Williams locos as time and monwy allow. I just love them.

Hey ETS,
I agree with you. I've had some of the fancy sound equipped locos with the command an all in the past. Ask me where they are now...I have no clue. I've sold them. All I I have now is a Williams SD90, an old 1960's Lionel Scout loco and my son's Thomas. In my experience I've found that while they are nice, life happens and when they break down it costs a lot of money to repair. not the case with Williams. I love my Williams loco. I'd love to get something crazy like one of the BL-2. They're so different looking and it seem that not too many people like them. I decide against building an HO layout as I stated in previous posts. I'm going with O gauge!! Here in Nashville there isn't much support for HO, and with my low vision O gauge just makes more sense. Plus they are more fun to run in my opinion.  Here is what the lyaout looks like so far.

Hey everybody,
Pics of my new layout in the works!!! I still need to ge lumber to build proper legs for it!!



I cant wait to rum my Williams SD90 on this one!

Hey donelon,
I appreciate your reply. The main reason I was asking is because I like those British trains. and I'm not sure if they are readily available here in the US. So I was looking to the Thomas line from Bachman as possible candidates for a British style layout. That is why I posed the question of HO vs OO "scale". I figured if could pick up on ebay a used British type loco from whatever manufacturer and some Bachman Thomas cars, I have a convincing (if not just for me) British style train to run on my HO layout. But then that brings up more question...about gauges, couplers so on so on. I'm exited to learn more about all of those trains. I'm learning about Bachman Euro, Bachman China, other brands like Hornby, Lima, and Märklin. I'm very exited indeed! So any knowledge anyone here is willing to shape, please I welcome it. After over 30 years in the hobby, I finally find myself exited about model trains again. I think my interest in the hobby has definitely taken an international turn! LOL

Hey rogertra,
Thank you. I hope I did not offend anyone. I'm just trying to understand these kinds of trains. I've always had HO North American style trains. But I've developed an interest on them. I really like them.
Thanks again!!

Hello all,
The Thomas the Tank engine line that Bachman produces, Are those trains in HO of OO scale? The reason I ask is because I have developed an interest in European style trains and I think a lot of the Thomas stuff is of European nature. Tanks!!

Love that last layout! Don't mind if I copy the track plan! LOL
