One more thing I need to pick your brains- Couplers, which type you recommend ? All of my rolling stock are Roco, I've heard that the Fleishman Profi are one of the most popular. Any comments ? I am planning to do a lot of switching.

Guys, thank you so much for the information. I guess I will use the BR80 and the BR64 for the layout, as per your advice and I think I will keep the BR50 for display. I added the LED's to the shelf. Now I need to install the valance to cover the li…

Wow !! A lot of info. Everything that I've read it tells that this engine was used to prep for war. Maybe if I model 1941-42 instead of 1939 will make better sense? The DRB Class 50[1] is a German class of 2-10-0 locomotive, built from 1939 as a …

Thanks for the information. So is like an L shape rod with a small "lollipop" shape on the short end and that's what lift the coupler.

Well, I am in the process of painting the back drop blue and installing it on the layout. Hopefully by Saturday the back drop will be completely installed. I am looking forward to start laying track gthis weekend.

Ernest, thank you for the info on the photos. Let's see what I do, it sounds like it will be a little pain to post the photos in at another site and then use the link to connect them to the post. It's all good. Again thank you for the info. Ulri…

Back-drop: Last night I started to install the back-drop using form core on the layout which will be painted blue. I tried to post some photos but i was not successful. Tonight I will continue to install the rest of the form core so that tomorrow I …

Ulrich Thank you so much for the well informed details. Made it very clear. I appreciate the time you took to help me out. That is great. I have no choice but to keep the 50 but definitely I will look for a BR64, I like the wheel arrangment better,…

Ulrich, thank you for the info but as I understand, the BR50 was manufactured in 1939. According to Wikipedia :"This class was procured as part of the German Nazi party's preparations for war that led into the Second World War." So I thought it was …
