I have a Bachmann FTa that just broke and I now have to fix it. (It has more sentimental value because it was my first DCC engine) I feel that now that the wires to the front trucks broke, it's the perfect time to add whatever is missing from the locomotive shell. I have tried looking at...

Seeing the success of the "E" and "F" unit fan club, I decided to make another "fan club". This time, the theme is ALCO's, as it seems to be a popular subject.

I have noticed that there are a lot of locked topics just sitting there, some with content that could be hurtful or useless. I'm wondering if somehow there can be some sort of "locked topic cleanup", clearing space for more important topics.

I have heard that JR somehow adds startup/shutdown features to some locomotives, and I would like to know how. I would also like to know how to add MARS lights to a reskin of Auran's default F7 engine. (the ATSF loco with 2 headlights) Anything I do to those cloned engines will only be for...

Selling real model trains. Not that the virtual ones aren't real, or model trains. What I mean is, plastic and/or metal electric model trains. Seeing how well designed and detailed the virtual trainz that come from JR are, I could definitly see super-detailed, after-market modified, model...

Ok, I know this may sound like the wierdest thing I have ever said, but I really like F units and E units. (my favorite train being the F7a) I posted this thread as a discussion of all things E unit and F unit. (also, can I just search online for pictures and post them here, or would I have to...

Well, I have only bought Bachmann and Broadway Limited Imports so far, but BLI is REALLY expensive and Bachmann isn't the most prototypical. Also, Athearn is, for some reason, even more expensive, and I don't buy MTH because they wrongfully sued BLI. Anyone know what the most affordable but...

Did ALCO ever make a 2-6-0? And if they did, did Union Pacific ever own one? Also, did Union Pacific ever own ALCO S2's? And was the Liberty Bell Special pulled by a 2-6-0? Or was Bachmann just using another generic Bachmann trainset 2-6-0?

Can someone tell me how to post screenshots of Trainz without having to first post them to some sort of online photo site. Is there even a way to directly post pictures to these forums, or does it have to be done through one of those photo sites?

Well, I have noticed that the moderators don't have much that shows that they are moderators. I have seen other forums where the modrators had either something near their name that said "Moderator" or "Official" that made it easy to tell them from normal posters. Have you moderators ever...

I have seen many weird trains since I started the hobby of model railroading, but I wonder, what was the weirdest train ever made? I have seen in a book something called the "Crampton" locomotive, and it looks like something Frankenstein would build, but is it the weirdest? Are there weirder...

I am an amateur model railroader, and also like F7's for some reason. I saw Bachmann selling a Southern Pacific F7, and bought it. Come to find out, Southern Pacific ordered all of their F7's with 2 headlights, while the Bachmann model only has one. Also, it wasn't a delimma with a genaric...

Ever heard of 3D printing? It works by taking a computer model, and turning it into an ABS-plastic model. I think that it may be a much cheaper way to make model train scenery. (and an interesting idea for those who already know how to make 3D models) (also, does anyone know if an O, or HO...

I have tried to use the I-Chat server lately, and noticed that almost everyone had a name starting with "driver" and then some sort of number. I then heard somewhere that the "driver" names are users with unregestered copies of Trainz. HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?! And are they breaking the rules by...
