Get a LocoBuffer 2 and download JMRI for free from the Web. Google will find you both of those. Runs on modern Windows2000 machines, easy to...
I think there was an article on this in Model railroader last year some time sounds like an excellent approach. I keep meaning to test it out to...
My rule is: if they do it by hand on 12 inches to the foot, we'll do it by hand on the layout. So uncoupling, changing turnout switches, turning...
well now I've seen everything. Brilliant.
C'mon folks! No more philosophers out there???? I killed that thread stone dead didn't I? [img] I thought I might have stirred it up....
As is often the way in this hobby I got sidetracked on several other projects. I built an Atlas roundhouse kit. It arrived in the mail and my 4...
I saw an article in MR back in the 90s where they used Caboose Industries throws, but mounted them on the edge of the layout instead of beside the...
Hi Graham I think we are united in wanting the scissors crossover to go :D My comment: if it was me, I would have a lot more track in...

... and after deciding what you want from a layout [img] me, I'd be bored silly just watching 'em run, but i think Al, you are into that,...
There will be a huge growth in the virtual railroad thing, but personally i count that as a different hobby. As Terry Thompson said in a Model...
No progress for me this week, still looking at half finished benchwork. At least i tracked down a source of extruded polystyrene for the...
Thanks for checking it out. Much as I love scenery, on a layout this small everything goes towards operating [img] Having said that there will...
Cool, I get it. The loops are a holding pattern for trains, so they keep running. Something for me to think about.... Best of luck. Keep us...
[img] the trouble is curves and turnouts and so on can scale down but aisles can't. Likewise vertical clearances between tracks can scale down,...
here's the scenic pic from above (hopefuilly) working properly [img] cheers
Duh! Sorry folks. There's lots of stuff and since I'm still on an ancient 40k link at home, I tend to shy away from embedded pics. Actually i...
I thought International railways was the topic. What did i miss? [img]
