wasting time and money on toy trains!!! please read!!!?
i have been modeling in N Scale Model Trains for awhile, im 20 yrs old. my layout is cool but it doesnt look real even though i tried landscaping it, it stills look plain and i dont have the skills to make lighted crossings or building. i have spent over $600.00 on this N scale stuff but im getting to the point where im like just forget it before i spend to much money in it and it breaks while im moving or sumthing!!! what do u think i should do? i love trains thought.
Will the U.S. phase out commuter trains that use diesel and switch to electric trains in the future?
I noticed how all the commuter trains here in Massachusetts use diesel engines. Will they switch to overhead lines in the not so distant future?

Where do electric trains get the electricity to power their engines?
How does the energy in a fuel determine an engines performance in torque and power? Are trucks etc, that need a lot of power stuck with oil as a fuel because of it’s btu per gallon ?
