Are these kits available for purchase? Tom

Lewis Polk passed away. He will be missed! Tom

Brian? We usually sign our name on posts. Stan Cedarleaf is the man for decals. http://gold.mylargescale.com/StanCedarleaf/WebPageDecals/CustomDecalsx.html Tom

I don't know anything about that LGB loco, Look at the Train Engineer Revolution product line. http://www.revoelectronics.com It is a good system for sound on a DC layout. Tom

Garden Railways Magazine had a two part series on building turnouts. It was in June 2009 & August 2009 issues. Tom

There is shelf lining that is non-stick. Can be cut to shape as needed. That should keep things in place. Tom

derPeter Your work is fantastic! Thank you Tom

Jaug Very nice job. I think it looks great! Tom

Chuck I think you are talking about the EMD F59PHI. http://locomotive.wikia.com/wiki/EMD_F59PHI Funny what a single "I" in the name does. Tom

Larry I have only heard good things about Stan. http://1stclass.mylargescale.com/StanCedarleaf/WebPageDecals/CustomDecalsx.html Tom

I tried about 4 times by clicking on the link. Then I did a "save link as" a couple of times before it finally worked. Gremlins are afoot. Tom

Jerry Your link is broken. Try this one. http://www.g-bits.co.uk/index.html Tom

? Do you have anything to add? Tom

Jerry Price? Tom

To ? It looks like a real problem with the track about in the middle of the left side in the picture. There appears to be a dip in the track. I don't see wheels slipping when the train slows down. Looks like it runs out of gas (electrons). Tom

Download the manual for the Revolution Base Unit from the Crest site. It will tell you all about it andhow to hook it up. Tom

The 57004 may be used as an onboard receiver for higher power locos. This has been done by many 1:29/1:32 scale modelers. It is done with track power or battery power. The 57004 is sound capable. It does not function at this time. It will work after the USB adapter becomes avaliable. The 57000 SD or SS are avaliable now with sound. Output is limited to 5 amps. The sounds are generic and limited, but are acceptable to many people. Tom

You will find the latest LS Anniversary Edition 4-6-0 has metal gears. http://shop.bachmanntrains.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=255_433_436&products_id=2894 There are complete chassis avaliable for the 4-6-0. I don't know if the metal gears are avaliable separately. I think you will find the 4-6-0 is a BigHauler series and not a Spectrum loco. Tom

Jim What is the wheel arrangement of the locomotive? Tom

It would help to know what the radius of the curved track is and how long the straight pieces are. Tom

There is something called Bullfrog Snot. I have never used it nor do I know anyone who has. http://www.bullfrogsnot.com I won;t take any blame or credit if you use it. Tom

I see two sellers on ebay that will ship them to UK: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Bachmann-G-Die-Cast-Shay-Power-Trucks-1pr-BAC88999-/360998736812?pt=Model_RR_Trains&hash=item540d3393ac http://www.ebay.com/itm/BACHMANN-88999-Shay-BB-Power-Trucks-Backward-Compatible-2-G-/251578014900?pt=Model_RR_Trains&hash=item3a9337dcb4 I don't have a connection with either one and I don't know anything about either one. They are not cheap, but if it is what you need! Tom

nick jr I think it came out really great. Nice work! Tom
