Thanks ABC didn't put the math together like you did, I need to stop being a block head and remember what I learned from school. LOL.

Thanks guys, was looking into the 33.50" radius and didn't know if it would fit, now I know. I have bought some 89' auto carriers (Norfolk Southern), and I'm sure they will look good going down the track to a dealership or factory. Thanks again.

That's what I thought, thanks for confirming ABC.

I am planning to build a 8X8 table with 18" and 26" curves and I want a 3rd line, what is the maximum curve for a 8X8 layout?

Thanks for answering all of the questions that I have had so far. I have found a RR club in the next town from mine and I am going to go talk to them tomorrow about joining.  Loved trains as a kid and love em even more as a adult with my little boy.

Keep up the good work, this forum is good for the new guys.

Does Bachmann sell rail joiners for the grey roadbed EZ track?

Or would any code 100 rail joiner work?

Can anyone help me with identifying which turnouts work with what radius track?

I have read that #6 turnouts are better because there is less chances for derailment. So can a #6 turnout be used for 18" radius track?

Bob I really liked your club website link. Your layout was awesome, that is something I would like to learn how to do.

I wonder if there is any clubs in  Central Missouri?

Thanks for the advice.

Cool website!!!!

Thanks for the reply Lex

Do they work good?

Anyone try them?

Any tips?

Or should you strip the insulation from the bus and solder the feeder to it?

What's the cleanest and easiest way to run feeders to the bus?

New to railroading with my 2 year old son, any ideas will help, thanks and have a Happy New Year.

Has anyone ever seen a large tanker car with the CHVX on it? Should be a 6 digit number after the CHVX. At my work we unload liquid wax lubricant from these cars with a pump. The wax lubricant is used for vinyl siding, plastic pipe, vinyl fencing and other plastic applications. If you have ever seen one of these please let me know.

I bought the UP Merger DCC set online and I have not received it yet and I just read that it will not be ready to run until I buy a decoder for it.

Is this true and if it is what kind of decoder will I need to buy to operate multiple loco's?

It is the Bachmann brand.

What radius track will run on the outside of 22''?

Will suitcase wire connectors work well for tieing the feeders to the bus?

Or should I strip the insulation from the bus and tie the feeders to it and solder?

What is the best way and cleanest way to tie the feeder to the bus?

Hi, I am now new to railroading world, just purchased the HO scale UP merger DCC set and a Norfolk Southern DCC locomotive and I was wondering how the best way to run the feeder wires from the bus to the track on the grey road bed without the wires being to noticable? I am planning to run about 30 to 40 feet of track to the loading area and another 30 to 40 feet back to the town for coal unloading. I need to have enough power to keep the track energized throughout and I was wondering if there was any other items I could buy to provide electricity to te track with out having to wire to the bus every 2-4 sections of the track. I am planning on running two different lines back and forth UP and NS. Maybe a AMTRAK line in the distant future.
