Would appreciate any "how to" help on modeling a small mountain (or hill) on one corner of my layout -- with the back of the structure against the...
Oops -- Sorry John, for misspelling your name. My eyesight is not what it used to be.
Thanks to all for your opinions and advice. The "yeas" outweighed the "naes" by 5 to 1. I must confess, the ones that appealed to me the most...
I have a small layout (about 3 1/2 ft by 9 ft) which I've been working on for over a year. It's finally at the stage for ballesting. In fact,...

For all railfans in particular and all Trainboard members in general, I have a picture (b&w) clipped from the local newspaper that establishes a...
The layout I'm constructing is to be set in the era just before diesels started taking over (1935 to 1955). My locale is, loosely, the Midwest...
