I recently purchased a new camera and went to a place just off of the runways for Reagan National Airport to try my hand at some of the features on the camera. Right down from National (I believe not too far from 14th street bridge) is a freight line. While snapping photos, I heard the horn in...

Finally making *some* progress on what I consider my first layout (had some older, smaller ones...this one is planned to be the most realistic yet). I'm working on different sections of the layout and do not have an overall picture just yet. Just to let everyone know, I'm sure I do things a...

Yeah, I know its not a huge deal...sombody buying a table but these are perfect (at least for me) train tables. I stopped in there last night looking at an entertainment center for my house and they had 3 more of these tables. The guy was telling me that it is common for them to get scratched...

Stopped in Value City Furniture not far from where I live. In the back of the store is a Scratch and Dent section. I found 5 very large tables that had a few small scratches or nicks on the wood's surface. As soon as I saw it, I thought 'Train Table' LOL. Its 54" by 54" with a leaf that folds...

60% General American English 25% Dixie 15% Yankee 0% Midwestern 0% Upper Midwestern There is a guy that I work with from Michigan. I always give him a hard time for his "English" and he does the same to me. I drink a soda or a coke....he drinks a 'pop'. I enjoy eating a 'lollipop' on...

LOL...are you on dial-up?

holy moly.....that was great. Where is that layout at?

Welcome to The Gauge....I personally don't know of anything in DC. There is the B&O museum up in Baltimore. If you are driving, about 15 to 20 miles east of DC is Annapolis. There is a place off of route 50 that is pretty good. Its a straight shot from DC on route 50 to this place (sits between...

I never thought I would find a street sign so fascinating. That think looks awesome and is very similar to the ones in my area. Great Job!!!

A friend of mine uses this same software on his bodybuilding site. Some of his users have said the same thing about being logged out unexpectedly. I believe it may have something to do with VBulletin, HOWEVER, it seems more people are having problems when using Firefox as their browser, but some...

Interesting...I have a scheduled trip to NJ for this weekend. I'm not an N scale person but would like to stop in. I'll be near Lakewood NJ and this doesn't look like its too far. Thanks for the info!

I don't know how much use this turntable gets these days, but here is an aerial shot of a yard in Baltimore:

Hobby Pop...Hobby Pop...Ohhh...Hobby Pop (POP) Sorry...had the Lolly Pop song in my head for some reason. Train Shows

Dave, Sorry about that. Those pics are of Annapolis, MD.

I'm usually not a big fan of the snow only because I generally am working during our larger storms. Luck would have it that I was off work today and was able to get around town to snap some pics. Not RR related but I hope you like them as the snow seems to bring out the best of our city. For...

I've been trying to find one as well with very little luck. I hate to admit it, but I only recently learned about Rotary Dumpers. In all the years I've loved trains, I never knew this was how coal cars were emptied LOL.

Scapehunter, I'm glad you liked the museum. It is on my 'to do' list to get up there and see B&O Museum in Baltimore. I was going to try to make it there this past weekend but ended up at the train show at the MD State Fairgrounds. Spent more time there than I had anticipated and didn't have...

Thank You again to everyone for the responses. You are correct...some of the responses I don't understand, but I still believe they are valid (and that's why I asked). Some great points were made. Something that I totally missed was the wiring. Jetrock mentions problems with my layout in...

I should clarify that the 1/4 inch goes on top of a sheet of plywood. The problem is having a 4x8 layout and trying to get it out of this apartment when the time comes. Moving 2x6 sections would be easier (and can be carried on a plywood 'stretcher' when moving). Picture a 4x8 sheet of plywood...
