Question by Martin: Where’s a good place to train electric types in soulsilver?

Give jolteon a exp. share that you can obtain by giving the red scale to the person in that house that you first meet Prof. Oak in (Location is between Cherrygrove and Violet city).

Proceed to defeat the Elite 4 over and over with any other pokemon besides jolteon (unless its strong enough). You will get good exp and money at the same time.

Question by Joshua F: i want to start collecting model trains, but i dont understand the diffrent types, like HO, G, and stuff, thx.?

Best answer:

Answer by mike1942f
Mostly it has to do with size but also different designations in different parts of the world. All are motor driven, operable on tracks. O is the size of Lionel and American Flyer in the US, popular about the time of WWII and ten years after. Track width is about 2″. HO is half O and is intended for smaller layouts, track width is about 1″. N is smaller and for the same reason of layout size. G goes in the other direction and to my eye is about 3 times O and is Garden – lines intended to be used outdoors, so bigger scale. There are larger ones in real steam and different european sizes.
Actually, the ones that come up on Antiques Roadshow most often are not the operating trains at all, but the cast iron and stamped sheet metal play toys of 1890-1920 which are 4 to 6 inches tall.

Question by frankmoore: Can you mix and match Bachmann Train E-Z Track types?
I have a Bachmann HO scale train which came black base E-Z Track. I recently purchased some some additional E-Z Track with a gray base. I didn’t think to ask at the store because I didn’t think that there was a difference until was reading through my Bachmann catalog and noticed that what I purchased was Nickel Silver track what I have is Steel Alloy track.

My question is this: can I mix Nickel Silver track with Steel Alloy? Are there any potential issues with doing so?

Lastly, I see that the Nickel Silver is actually about 40% more expensive than the Steel Alloy. Is it a better track material?

Best answer:

Answer by October
Nickel Silver is much better track. It conducts electricity better than Steel Alloy, and you don”t have to worry so much about cleaning it because when it oxidizes it still conducts electricity unlike the steel or copper which has to be cleaned regularly. The is no problem with mixing them but your train might run a little unevenly. I suggest you replace the steel with the silver little by little as you can afford it.
