They run really well. The only thing I don't like is that I didn't know that the 4-4-0 would be that small.

Well, when I do my layout, I want some type of construction plant and I want a switcher with the tank cars to move around. I want it to look half decent for the yard.

Awsome, that's what I needed. Thanks.

Guess not! :)

Does any body have a picture or can take a picture of a Sante Fe MDT Plymouth 0-6-0 Diesle Switcher next to a single or a 3 dome tank car? I'm thinking about getting one of these, but would like to see the size comparison first. Thanks.

Everything I have all came from Bachmann sets. I didn't add anything except track to the sets.

Does it hurt anything to run 2 engines on the same track at one time with one controller?

Well I lied, I bought another set the other day so I had to change my layout agian. Bachmann Empire set. Comes with a 4-8-4 steam engine and 9 cars. I also picked up 2 more cars. This is where I'm at now and the last pic is a diesle loco that I'm thinking about picking up. I also figured out...

Helps out alot and your right, not what I wanted to hear. I guess Ill just be sticking with 3 controllers.

One more question. When I'm done with all of this I will have 3 trains all running on there own track. Is there a controller that I can get to operate all three of them or do I have to stick with 3 different controllers. I want to be able to change the speed and direction of each one seperate...

No, I have a Scion xB car.

No problem. The styrofoam is doing great. I have it sitting on a 2 1/2' x 6' table, so not really that much hangs over. If you push down on the ends it will bend but as for the middle it's great. I just purchased a 4' x 8' sheet and cut it with a utility knife. I'm actually not going to be...

It will only pull it up if I have it at full throttle. They way the tracks are set up, only the diesle goes up the bridge. The steam engine stays on flat ground in the middle.

I went to the train shop by my house yesterday and picked up a Jupiter 4-4-0 steam engine set. Came with the engine and 5 cars. Had to once again rearrange the layout. This is where I'm at now. Most probably going to stay like this for a while. I have a inner and outer track so I can run both at...

What are your other interest? I know you can't just work on your train all the time.sign1 Mine is my car. Currently fixing it up as a show car. Check it out here. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/592647

How well do the ez track Bachmann criss cross pieces work? I have some of the switch tracks and they work like garbage. The train jumps the track majority of the time. Is there a way to fix that?

I don't have any problems as of now. I can run the train at full throttle and it doesn't fall off.

So I went to Home Depot today and picked me up a sheet of that pink insulation board and stopped at Walmart and bought some black felt. Layout is now 3' X7' instead of 2 1/2' X 6'. All wires are now hidden. Here are some pictures leading up to date.

Ok, going to Home Depot today and going to pick me up a sheet of MDF or something. I'm going to swap my setup to the other side of the room and it will allow me to have a 3' X 7' layout. Guess I'm going to have to redo the track. :D That's why I can't have a nice setup, I change my mind way to much.
