This layout has been significantly redone and i am actually in the process of replacing the one entire side of the layout (the part where all the houses are) with brand new buildings and scenery.
Cool layout. I have a Bachmann Spectrum K-4 (postwar) with five standard heavyweight coaches for it to pull - but no layout to run it on yet (I did give it a run around one of the local club layouts though).
@kshopr - Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. I bought them a few years ago at a few of our local train and hobby shops in Brisbane (Austral Modelcraft and Hobbyrama for sure, maybe J&J Hobbies as well). Might have been old stock then.
Actually, at the moment I'm on the hunt for some New York Central streamliners for my Rivarossi Dreyfuss J-3 Hudson to pull. Haven't seen any where you are, by any chance?
@Vmanshow sorry for taking so long... and personally, i prefer atlas HO train cars... primarily because they have metal wheels and are less likely to derail or cause problems... Ive never tried there engines. But I am highly pleased with Mantua. They have great stuff. All of it. So I suggest Mantua.
Well I just got it not too long ago and it is sweet! I got a $200.00 Pennsylvania steam locomotive with sound and it sounds so real because it was recorded from a real train. I would make a video about it but my dad won't let me use the video camera.

@JBofBrisbane May I ask where exactly you found these coaches? I have been looking for Pennsy Coaches for years now

Does your layout have DCC on it? I love the flashing light on the tower and the way the signal actually responds!

Is a 4x8 sheet of plywood pretty good size?
NSwannabeEngineer 2 years ago
not really. its very small for O gauge, but for HO its good for a begginer.
kshopr 2 years ago
Its a good start. If you're lucky you can find a 4x8 folding talbe with a wood top that is free or cheap and just use that.
TheClemsonDude 2 years ago
O-Gauge you can do just about nothing with it. HO is a bit better. And for N-Scale it's freaking amazing.

I forgot to tell you that mine is the exact same locomotive as yours but with dcc and sound.
bufwings23 2 years ago
I just read the box and it says that it's a Bachmann Spectrum PRR K-4 DCC with sound.
bufwings23 2 years ago
dc or dcc
bufwings23 2 years ago
I would like to get dcc but I dont have the trains or the money to get it yet So for now its DC.

Cool layout. You should have done some editing in the video.
