I started construction 3 years ago but then moved and have been doing house construction since. I'll get back to it someday.:rolleyes:
Tortises for the switches and a fairly large cutout inside the loop.

I had been wondering the exact same thing. I just finally got the last 4 "C" car set. I particularly wondered which way the dome car faced. Thanks...
Love the the power plant connected to the coal mine. I've always wanted to do that since I saw it in Armstrong's book 40 years ago.
I was going to buy the one from Litchfield but found a Hakko 936 on eBay for around $40 including accessories. I'm very happy I got the Hakko. Paul.
More Info: Set for an April 2011 Release, the next in line for Kato’s “Classic Train Series” has been revealed: the classic Union Pacific “City...
I got an email from Kato this afternoon. Sign up on their website for new product releases. Paul.
My LHS is three hours away and I am guessing it is the same one as yours, Lion. When I am in Denver I always stop in to browse and usually pick up...
Prep for Tortoise I like Bob Schrempp's method for installing tortoises into the foam. Intalling a Tortoise Switch Machine Photo Gallery by Bob...

OK. Finally the pictures I promised. Progress has been slower than I anticipated but I wanted to take my time since it is all pretty new. I...
I like the riser blocks but the issue is not vertical clearance but no room to put the layout next to the bed to slide under or even rotate down....
The bed is an antique and not a standard size. It is 54" (same as a double) by 72" (2" shorter than a double.) That is the size of the plan. I...
Both great ideas but the room is not twice as wide as the bed -- not enough room to tip it underneath and I think guests would object to sleeping...
I have been away from the hobby for close to 40 years. Purchased a Kato Super Chief starter set and it was enough to launch me back into model...
I also have been playing with my track plan for a couple of months but just started to transfer it to the foam this week. I was raised in Kansas...
I see many people talking about latex caulk. I have some silicone caulk. Will that work with foam/cork roadbed/track?
They looked excessive to me but I was trying to figure a way to keep the yard engine off the main line. I think that is how it is done in the real...
