Me too! I have some centerbeams with removable loads, which lets me "unload" them between sessions so the empties can be pulled next time. But...
That's so nice it makes me weep. I'm selling off the bulk of my N-scale stuff, and that includes a lot of PRR stuff. Seeing your layout makes it...
I did a quick check using Google Earth, and most of the roads I'm seeing have a dark center as modeled, NOT dark lines on the tire path. My check...
A minor caveat: sometimes a seller with 100% feedback who hasn't been active, but is now selling stuff, is a sign of an account that has been...
Hi Mark, Real life intervened and delayed my reply. :) Thanks again for your comments and ideas! I found this layout which I would agree has...
I have an email from the owner of Island Modelworks that they will have Silverliner IVs out this summer, singles and pairs, with licensed SEPTA...
Thanks Mark, very interesting. And I think your markup is perfectly clear! I'll think it over and reply tomorrow.
Questions! I got some, for sure. First, I'm using AnyRail because it seems really simple, and I have bad memories of CadRAIL from 1999 or so....
Industries! I didn't label them, but I had given them some thought. I was deferring final decisions until I had more time to examine the...
Hi guys, thanks for all the great advice and feedback. I'm going to TRY to tackle this in 3 posts to keep my thoughts clear: answers to...
I'm working towards an HO switching layout that will fit onto two 24x80 doors, and be able to separate for transport to shows. I'm not trying to...
Also I think I understand your reversing section plate question better. Yes, you need to exit on the opposite arm you entered. But there is no...
Aha, I get how you've wired the sector plate. Clever, because it does solve the reversing problem and it also keeps the track dead while it is...
Of course maintenance etc. made them impractical long-term, but I love all these art-deco steam-streamliners ... the ATSF Blue Goose, the Reading...
All N scale eh. Do you guys need some HO items for auction? I could probably find a few items to donate to the cause! Contact me via PM or...
Nit picking: if I was going to place that loading dock I'd shift it towards Summer St. As planned it will be hard to back into the bay closest...
Of course as soon as I post ... heh. One issue about my simpler arrangement is that there is pretty much no way to deliver a car to the Warehouse...
My 2 cents: The sector plate, and anything wired to it, are a reversing block. Whichever polarity you use for the connections, you will find it...
Yeah Mr. Wallet took a hit today. I love the 3-unit cars, much easier for me to justify in my own layout. And hopefully these will, as promised,...
I have a metal, presumable brass, model of a tank car "Great Northern X3476". I've been trying to identify it -- MOW car? extra water tender? --...
