    Hi Everyone!:teeth: :

    Have been lurking around a little while soaking up useful information! I am in the process of trying to build a small N scale layout. I have just about finished the benchwork, and have a plan in mind.

    My idea for this layout comes from Model Railroader and their recent "Black River Junction" layout. I have adapted their HO scale plan to N scale, only mine is called the White River Junction.

    The idea is to have the NYC interchange with the C&O near a little town called Congerville, IN. The era will be early-mid 50's as to have a little steam action as well as some neat Diesel action.

    As mentioned earlier, I have constructed the main benchwork that is 30" wide and about 60" in length.

    Thanks a lot to EVERYONE on Trainboard, as all of your discussions have helped me in many ways to attempt this little layout.:shade:

    Sincerely,
    J.W. Hall

    Welcome! I have found this group to be a wonderful source of information and inspiration. The MR layout is a nice one with great operating possibilities in a small space. I think you're VERY wise to start with a layout that size. Have fun!

    Welcome!

    Lots of nice folks here always willing to help, share and most of all have fun.
    Something I was told when I first came here and I found to be true is... there is no such thing as a stupid question.

    Enjoy!

    Hi Gang!::teeth:

    Here is the final (I hope) version of the White River Junction. All I need to do now is to get some track, and away I go!
