    Yo-Yo Freelance On30 Logging line updates!

    Hi Kozmo It's Peco O-16.5 narrow gauge flexi-track. It is the same gauge as Peco's OO track only with the narrow gauge ties. The only draw back to it is that they only produce one size of turnout which is the same size as a #4 in the US. This is the spec from the Peco website: 0-16.5...

    Foam??

    As far as I know it's used for building insulation, so any builders merchants should carry it.

    new Bayline boxcar and pier facility

    If you didn't know that these were only models, you would think that they are real life, especially the last photo. Absolutely outstanding.

    H'come??

    Unfortunately model sizes do sometimes vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, however all is not lost. If you place it somewhere near the back of your layout (if you can) it should look in perspective. The only thing with doing that is you can't really place any other vehicles near it (unless...

    Need some suggestions on diesel weathering

    I use a similar technique to Cornreaper. I use artists pastel chalk which is a little softer to the touch than regular chalk, but still quite cheap. I use a craft knife & scrape down the length of the chalk while holding the chalk above a piece of folded & opened plain white paper, then I just...

    European Union to Levy Punitive Measures on Select US Goods

    That's just typical of the EU! Best bet is to ask for models to be sent over as gifts. (No extra tax) ;)

    location of lcomtive on track

    I believe Marklin did a similar automated system, but that was done with DC & inertia + shuttle modules. It didn't have a computer.

    Why do we need toy trains in a narrow gauge.

    I think the primary reason for most is the fact that it allows you to model in a larger scale within a tighter/smaller space. Typically narrow gauge railways follow their own rules as far as track laying goes instead of a recognized standard thus allowing for very tight curves depending on what...

    Trucks & Bogies

    Does anyone know (preferably in the UK) where I can get hold of any HO or OO scale trucks/bogies for wagons/cars? I'm scratch building quite a few wagons/cars for my On30 layouts, but I'm having a real hard time trying to source these parts. :cry:

    New Track Plan; any and all Comments wanted and welcomed.

    Welcome to The Gauge. Your plan looks fine to me (although I'm no expert). The only comment that I have is that you might want to think about either a lift-out or swing section to get to the middle (which is where I presume you will be operating from). Although 50" is quite a tall starting...

    Freight Car Classifications?
