Hi all! So, after many years of hibernation, I'm finally going to start working on my 18x13 room. Very exciting! As I mentioned in my intro...
Hi TrainboySD40! The plan we're basing on is actually from Dec 2013 MR (I believe) ... the Milwaukee Road 14th Subdivision. I've made a few...
Hi all! I'm returning to the board (and the hobby) after a looooooong absence. We built an HO 8x4 layout in our old place. Once both my wife and...
Makes me glad I'm a CP guy. This is really shameful... you'd think they'd be HAPPY to see their brand(s) on modelers layouts. Oh they're...
Ah, but they should all have pick-up and drop-off points... if I can work it out. [img] (I wasn't very clear on that above.) The current...
H LongIslandTom! Thanks for that suggestion... kinda like Benny's suggestion from way back? Yeah, I'm looking at that again. I'm starting to...
No link. I'm scrapping that plan, and asking for a little help/direction with a new plan without return loops. [img] Perhaps I should start...

Another fan of the ol' two-tone green dogwood scheme here! (Hated the later ones.) [img] Just acquired a pair of dogwood-decorated ALCOs for...
Well, I'm still in the planning stages with my RR... so I'll be working on the track-plan a bit, and possibly building some rolling-stock. [img]...
Thanks for all the info on blue washer fluid guys! I'll be sure to take a whack at using the stuff! [img] Tony
Nice stuff guys!!! :D Tom, why windshield fluid? I mentioned this practice to my club, and no one had every heard of it? Wolfgang, nice...
Bob, do you just spray with full-strength windex? Or is it mixed with something else? (This windex thing is new to me!) Tony
Thanks for that Tom! Looks great even underneath! Love the rusted axles!!! :D How'd you do that? You really gotta share your techniques...
It sounds fantastic. In addition to new sounds, higher fidelity and simply better sounding sounds overall, it adds such things as a circuit...
Hmm... maybe not such a dumb question? Anyone?
Good tips on changing the coupler heights guys. Like I said... wasn't sure about that, being a newbie to kit-cars. [img] Tom, those cars...
Great stuff guys! Wonderful to see how you all handle the inexpensive kit-cars. :D Tom, thanks so much for the photos!! I'd love to see the...
Tom, how/why do you paint the undercarriages? (Or is that part of the weathering?) Is it just to lose the "plastic-y" look? Tony
