Choo-choo -> model railroading (7/7/2008 1:43:18 AM)

Do we have any model train TCA's out there?

You need to talk to the guy in post #2 in THIS thread.

I have an N-guage setup. 2 locomotives, a dozen cars, probably 60 feet of track.

I don't have a layout built, and my cars are not line-correct, but it's fun to set it up for a while every couple of years or so.

What do you have?

I like S Scale however live steam has got my attention recently. Here are some links.

By TCA I assume you mean Train Collectors of America?

I am in the NMRA: National Model Railroaders Association.

I have a 16x22 foot HO layout. Around 20 locomotives and well over 300 cars. I am also involved in the hobby industry.

JonCo54 do you build your own live steam? I know a couple guys near where I live who scratchbuild live steam out of brass. Very impressive stuff!



freakofnature -> RE: model railroading (7/17/2008 2:48:49 PM)

I have had a desire and strong interest in model railroading but at this point have not the room or time. Recently however, I have talked my wife into adding a room to the house, not necessarily for a railroading hobby but there will be enough room.

I have always dug the N scale trains. Smaller but yet they look more life like IMHO.



ta_mosquito -> RE: model railroading (7/17/2008 2:53:24 PM)

My dad has built (from a kit) a 1.5" scale live steam engine. The tender's not done yet, though.

Ah! He put it on YouTube! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mdMmC4xbdhg

The video bounces around a lot, especially when it is zoomed in.



TMeeks -> RE: model railroading (7/17/2008 3:48:47 PM)

I want one! [:D]

No but I would love to get my hands on a kit. They are so cool.

Enjoyed the video ta_mosquito. That is a great looking engine.
