I am looking for help choosing my first laser cutter.

I want to cut out many (plywood) cross tie bases in a ladder shape for North American N scale.

I can also use it for RC aero (balsa) modelling parts and structures.

 

What should I be looking for, do I need to mod anything?

Yes you are right about adjusting the screws.  Didnt help this time.  I'll get onto Bachmann.

I got a nice used Bachmann spectrum N scale 2-8-0 consolidation, that runs fine in reverse, but in forwards, the wheels stop rotating at each quarter turn. 

At higher speeds its not so noticable, but still a bit lumpy running.  Clean and lube, or something else?

I want to know before I tackle an auction item that is returnable. 

If I actually have a copy of the yearbook, it must be lost with all the other important things.  I not even sure what it looked like.  

Are there any drawings of gauges I could take to a machinist?

Does any one know where to get brass roller gauges (and the other kinds) for building FS 160 track?  

I am planning on using association code 40 FB for North American, but also fancy using code 55 FB for mainline bits.  If I can find the rail at a reasonable price.
