Ewoutro’s rendition of the locomotive is very well done, built to run on narrow gauge track as well as standard LEGO track through the use of a haulage cart, just like the real engine. This dual-mode operation is a very cool detail to see realized in a tiny LEGO model, and though ...
Well, we are now back home after the North Wales N Gauge Society show at Conwy. We were made most welcome by all the society members there and we had a lovely friendly show with hardly a gremlin in sight. Die Keinnamebahn ran perfectly and only needed occasion track and wheel cleaning ...
Using the track gauge, lay the rails on the ties in the correct position. Make sure the rails are straight and level. Spike the rails. Using a small hammer and spikes, secure the rails to the ties. Be sure to space the spikes evenly along the rails. Solder the rails. Apply flux to...
In the past, we have seen great and highly informative articles from Hod Carrier and Matt Csenge on simple but good-looking details anyone can build to add detail to their track. Today, I’d like to do the same, but for a relatively unexplored genre of L-gauge modeling: Light Rail!

O Scale- The O gauge at 1:48 is one of the oldest model train scales, and it has been used by toy manufacturers such as Lionel to produce large numbers of model trains since the late 1800s. S Scale- It is a middle-sized model railroad at 1:64, larger than HO and smaller than ...
Geoff runs OO9 (OO narrow gauge – runs on n gauge track) and asks readers: “I am trying to fit a decoder to the Tomytec chassis TM-07R. The chassis works fine on my DC test track, and the decoder is fine on my decoder tester. But when I put the two together, everything is...
