Hello All, I was having great debate with myself whether to purchase or scratch-build a large HO scale sawmill complex for my as of yet non existent railroad. BTS makes a beautiful sawmill, but when you convert the price to Canadian dollars.....yikes, I'd be broke in no time! So I'm...

Hello Everybody! As you can see just to the left, I currently have an avatar of Marvin the Martian (gotta loooove that alien). He's pretty nifty (if not somewhat fuzzy), but he just doesn't say "Steam Donkey". Not to mention the copyright infringement! :rolleyes: I've looked all over...

I've just made a post including a photo in the faces behind the names thread. I'm kinda new at this, what size picture files do you gaugers post at? My photo looks HUGE! I know Dave Hagen just put a restriction of 1024 x 768 at 102K, and I believe mine is well under that.......but it looks so...

Has anybody created, or put any thought into, building a model railroad in a ISO shipping container? Seems to me that a used container (8'x20') is somewhat affordable (about $3,500 Canadian), is weathertight, secure, and transportable to boot! If one feels really adventurous, there are even...

Has anybody ever thought about a "loads in, empties out" approach to log loading and sawmill unloading operations? :confused: Do I need to back loaded log cars up to the spar tree in the woods, or move empty buggies away from the spar after I've delivered them earlier? Same question in...

Hi Gaugers! I have a wee problem. I just picked up a length of Pico code 55 to take home and play.....er........experiment with for future layout considerations (hand lay or flex track). Small problem; I can't flex that durn flex track! That stuff is trying it's darndest to stay straight. I...

Last night I picked up an old copy of Model Railroader in which a fellow had modeled a narrow gauge O scale logging layout, and had used HO scale in the upper levels of the layout to implement "forced perspective". :cool: I am planning an HO logging layout, and am thinking of using N scale up...

Hi Everyone! I'm new to this post, but not real new to model railroading in general (although I haven't had an actual model railroad for about 15 years...yikes!!!). Sometime in the future I will be creating a waterfront area on my proposed HO scale logging railroad. The area will be...
