Satisfaction Survey for battery and gasoline locomotives
If you
purchased a locomotive (not steam) in the past 36 months, I want to hear from
you.
If you're
happy or even if you're not happy with your locomotive, I want to hear about it.
I'll ask you questions like:
-
Was the
manufacturer easy to reach?
-
Did
your locomotive arrive on time?
-
Did you
have problems with it?
-
Was it
worth the money?
Email me to request your "Satisfaction Survey" now
(in the text of your email type the word "survey". This survey
covers completed, ready-to-run locos only. No kits or "home built" units
please.

Riding Scales & Gauges
by
Rick Henderson
When it comes
to scales and gauges, the hobby of riding scale railroading may be difficult
for newer people in the hobby to comprehend and perhaps even confusing for
some of the more seasoned among us. For most of us in the hobby, our exposure
to riding scale trains, which is any scale model of a train that you can
actually ride, is limited to our home railroad or close-by railroads that are
using the same track gauge. I recently wrote an article for the G-gauge
community titled
Scale, Scale & Gauge as G is One Gauge, Many Scales,
Much
Confusion. The Much Confusion really applies in the riding scales, where
there are Multiple Gauges and Multiple Scales, frequently on the same
railroad.
