Slightly revelant to the thread, i found a good game that i find good to use to design your model railways, Rule The Rail.

http://www.brainbombers.com/

You can get the starter pack for free, wich comes with 2 locos, 2 freight wagons, and 1 passenger wagon. The expansions cost money however, but they bring extra content.

I suggest reading the manual before playing(its in the docu folder inside the game folder).

I have HO models built by Mehanotehnika (Slovenian toy factory). There are 2 sets, both freight wagons and RS-2 locos. I bought adittional tracks and wagons later (I have over 12 m tracks and 11 wagons) and PIKO AC/DC adapter with connectors for equipment, direction and speed changing (up to 16 V) and protection from overload.

Heh, i was wondering to this date why can't i change the direction of travel that my loco goes with my transformer, and by accident i found it out. I actually had to pull the knob lower than the lowest power setting was, it changes the direction of travel then.

Yes, there are two types of transformer: with knob you can cange speed and direction, and there is type where you can change speed, and direction with separate switch ("Mehanotehnika" produced second type, but it was much expensive than PIKO's.)

I was browsing around trains.com and came around at the subject of Lego model railwaying, thus i found the following links...

Damn they look cool.

http://www.miltontrainworks.com/MTW/
http://www.legovilllivesteamclub.homest ... /kits.html
http://shop.lego.com/department.asp?d=12&t=7
http://www.visi.com/~demlow/lego/bipolar/sale.html

I used to have one of the train sets, though i think Lego has discontiniued that set..
I still have tracks though, and some train motors, but no speed control or actual train, or the wagons :d
