Scratch built this coal conveyor in n scale. [ATTACH]
Hi, Here's a plan for a switching layout. No space eating run around or switchbacks. All facing point turnouts. The first image show the...

I got 3 on order and seriously contemplating another if the 3 dont bankrupt me.
Hi, See this thread for a 1' x 7' N scale plan I designed as well as the discussion around it. It would fit perfectly in your space, but of...
Excellent work, I love that shot of the earthworm going round the bend! How many locos do you have lugging that 90+ car earthworm? I'm, going...
Many have stated a radius below 18" is doable with a Blackstone k-27 but personally I wouldn't go for anything less than 18". Personally, I dont...
I'm waiting on the Athearn Bethgon coalporters lettered for BNSF. I already own 3 Kato SD70Aces which will be pulling this train around the club...
In many countries outside the US they replaced steam with electric locos getting electricity from a coal burning power plant. So much for...
I have had similar experiences with other manufacturers... It seems like luck of the draw really, these days I order three locos of a given kind...
Standard gauge in South Africa is meter gauge (slightly over 3'). We have some GE built locos running on our rails here like the GE U26Cs:...
I've got a couple of HO locos, some N scale locos and a number of HOn3 K-27s and in all scales and gauges I've had one or two locos that had...
This is purely my opinion... I reckon blackstone should not do any standard gauge locos. If they wish to diversify then they should rather do...
So true! I think what sealed the deal for me though was a Google search of BNSF powder river basin. Some of those pics are epic.
I blame you, its all your fault! I'm now the proud owner of three Kato SD70Ace's wearing BNSF paint and some BNSF bethgons. :tb-biggrin: Your...
For some inspiration and ideas see East Rail Lance Mindheims modeling is superb and his ideas for the East Rail can easily be used on other...
I'd say your photography makes your layout look much larger than it actually is and shows it off well. Good job!
I have two, first would be a 16'x20' foot HOn3 version of the Silverton Branch of the DRGW. Other would be something like a 30'x60' HO scale...
I think it depends on your design, I mean if you're building a sizable yard then its going to need quite a number of turnouts. Also parallel track...
Wow, your modeling is super! Great work on that turntable.
