Somebody bought it.
When BL-2's are outlawed, only outlaws will have BL-2's. But not bandits; those ran on the Soo Line.
If it's been a long time since you laid track or did any soldering, I'd start with a simple oval on the level. Once you've got everything running...
Okay, I decided to go upscale from N to HO, due to declining eyesight. That meant starting from scratch with a small layout. I methodically began...
Somebody put a simple motion sensor on his layout, hooked to a buzzer that made a noise that his cats didn't like. As soon as they landed on the...
I'm sure the two lines of turnouts have different geometries. But if you're using flextrack, you should be able to compensate for any differences...
I suspect that the "several sections that don't connect" are due to the draftsman being new at his CAD package. Those astonishingly tight curves...
Visit my trackplan page at http://www.cke1st.com/m_train2.htm ; you'll find plenty of 2x4 layouts, including some twice-arounds, along with Atlas'...
It looks good overall. The only potential problem is that the industries on the upper level are reached by downgrades on both sides, with very...
Look at some track plans of big layouts. The typical huge pike will have several towns with switching possibilities, and one of those towns will...
The presence of Atlas diesels makes me think N-scale. Coal mines are usually found in hilly or mountainous areas because that's where the coal...
Excellent suggestions all. That 0-6-0 looks very good. I'll post some pics of the layout as soon as there's something to photograph.
Traingeekboy: The layout is under construction, temporarily on hold while I wait for some re$ource$ to arrive. I'm using standard body-mount...
Are there any decent-running HO steam locos that will take a 15" radius curve? (Please don't tell me to make my curves bigger; the layout has to...
I'm offering the RTS 8.0 files on my trackplanning page, mostly so people can access my plans. http://www.cke1st.com/m_train2.htm
I have multiple door layouts on my trackplan page; some are ovals and some are a lot more. http://www.cke1st.com/m_train2.htm#doorplan
I'm seeing staging, interchange (via the car float), a branch line with some length to it, enough room for scenic transitions... lots of good...
Some thoughts: The overall appearance will be effective, with plenty of space between the town scene and the yard scene. You could eliminate the...
My theme is an early-70's short line, spun off from a BN branch. I've got an Athearn SW1000 that takes the curves just fine, as do the 40' freight...
Hello from southern Massachusetts! I was an N-scaler for years, then pursued other interests for years. Now I'm back, although declining eyesight...
