Thanks for all the replies guys! I'll elaborate a little on what I was thinking at the time. Due to limited space and a rented house I can't make...
From a newbie's point of view it would be very useful! It seems to be one of those things that is never widely published and not usually included...
Great looking loco Steve!!
What scale?
Does anyone have any plans for a switching layout built on an HCD? Any width, but just one door long, N-scale (of course!). Cheers
To me it looks like there's a nasty kink/S-bend at the beginning/end of the inside passing track, although I guess you've been running trains on...
^ thats what I was thinking too. Learning how to solder rail is one of the things I'm dreading about starting my first layout!!
Love the Kwik-E-Mart sign!! Is pic two something you would expect to see in the prototype, where they have re-laid the track with concrete ties...
Could be way off here, but I seem to recall reading something either here or in the comments on railpictures.net about how UP was/is using the...
Those are my thoughts exactly, no matter how much space you've got to work with, you can always fit so much more in with N scale. I'm not enough...
Just while we're on this topic, how compatible are the different couplers? Like if I had a mix of Atlas, Kato and Lifelike locos, and a mix of...
Wouldn't it be better/easier to drill a hole and use a sleeve anchor or dynabolt (not sure what you guys call them over there, but one of these...
I'm starting from scratch so I'm going to go with Atlas C55. The only downside I can see is that if I decide to buy second hand rolling stock I'll...
Great pics, keem 'em coming, you're making me jealous that I don't have space to model a big intermodal yard!! :tb-tongue:
Thanks Richard. At first I wasn't even going to put a cross over there but I decided it would be useful for the switcher to be able to do a run...
It doesn't get much better than Dave N's Tehachapi Sub: Tehachapi Sub - RailImages.com Although with the amount of space you've got you'd be able...
Although he did mention the Walthers kit, which AFAIK was a cement plant, not a concrete facility. Perhaps you could modify the Walthers AMD...
I like that idea, I'll have a play with it tonight and see what I can come up with. The two tracks going off the bottom left and right are...
So hows this for a starting point... After wasting countless hours designing layouts far too large, complicated and expensive for a...
I asked a similar question here. Bigger is obviously better, the manufacturer will suggest a minimum radius but that will be for the loco only and...
