is that Atlas code 83 track?

[NorfolkWestern34]

yupper

[4202EJW]

Any tips or anything on it I'm thiking about getting it cause I'm tired of the backmann fast-track.

[NorfolkWestern34]

yea, get rid of that EZ Crap, i used to use it, look at my older vids, first of all, you need some type of roadbed, like woodland scenics foam, or cork roadbed, then you need to have all your joints soldered, and make sure they are level, and you need feeders, o and make sure your benchwork is level! haha

[4202EJW]

Ya well I wish I didnt get that grass mat crap! I really never EVER want to see it again! I should of got 1in foam boards like you did to make the layout realistic and make a lake! Well sorry I am new to this what are feeders? Oh and I really gotta work on leveling my layout! Thanks for your time!

[NorfolkWestern34]

Dude, no problem I am still new at this! haha grass mats are a pain! o and feeders are wires that you install under the benchwork to keep a more steady power flow, you hook them up every 6 feet or so, no problem again, anytime!

[tarmac2001]

Looks like you got some pretty good buys, I know the retail asking price on alot of things in the model railroad hobby is just plain ridiculous.

[NorfolkWestern34]

They really are sometimes, but its all worth it when its all said and done.

[puttrainguy]

Ok. for the striped screw, just grab a pair of pliers and yank it out. As for the other stuff... Nice!!! As I told Eric I like the Mp15DC I have. I was operating with mine tonight and I looked and my rear light doesn't illuminate the cab.

[Jabbajawz4life]

As for the stripped screw(SHAME SHAME SHAME JP) go to walgreens and they sell these drill bit things that dig into a screw when it has been stripped and yanks it out pretty good. Or if they don't have them there go to Lowes or Home Depot and see if they have it.(They Should)

[NorfolkWestern34]

HAHA aurite will do man, i was thinking about like yanking it out! hahaha thanks man
