With my new layout, I have room for something I've wanted. Coming from New Orleans, I wanted to have a small streetcar line.
I'm unsure how to go about it.
I have room for a small loop, but I won't be able to connect it to the main layout tracks. That's not an issue.
I have a DCC layout, but if need be, I could run the streetcar on DC.
Questions:
1. I've looked online for n scale streetcars. There were some, but they all seemed to be out-of-stock. There were several on Ebay, but they didn't sound like what I wanted. Does anyone know of a good source?
2. If I can't find one to buy, I have an old short locomotive that I would consider trying to scratchbuild something and use the locomotive's motor and drive. Since I have average to below average skills, is this something I should attempt?
3. It would be neat to have a streetcar run automatically, with the car stopping and starting on its own. Without going through the time of learning to program an arduino setup, does anyone know of a system like that for n scale that I could find?
Not sure if this is clear, but any help would be appreciated. I have done a lot of searching online, but I don't seem to be able to find something easy that I want.
