I was wondering if there are any Roundhouse Kits made for S Gauge/Scale other than the one offered by Twin Whistle? I have a Bowser S Turntable, indexing kit, transformer and control panel already assembled, but haven't attached it to my layout yet. I am also looking for ideas for adding details to the turntable bridge and would appreciate any ideas and any sources for these details. Thanks Mike Cronin

I just received two undecorated extended vision cabooses from Scale Trains that I will be painting and decorating myself. These are nice looking cars. I cannot clearly see how to remove the caboose shell from the chassis and/or if the roof comes off to install the windows. The cupola does come off but maybe the rest of the roof should come off too. I don't want to break anything so I'm being careful. Does anyone know how to removed the chassis from the shell and/or how to remove the roof? Tom Detmer

Hi - My Flyonel docksider started to run poorly the last time i ran it, Christmas before this last, on my Christmas layout i set up in my business's front window. I have been using it at shows with the Atlantic Coast S-Gaugers and on my Christmas layout over the last 15 years, so i decided to take it apart to clean and inspect its workings. All looked good except for some dirt and old oil so gave it a good cleaning, lubed it, and put it back together. Now, it runs much better going backwards than it does going forwards. Any idea why this would occur? Thanks, Ted
