I was playing around with an idea for a switching layout a while back and had a problem with wanting continous running or at least to be able to turn around. What I had come up with was having the mainline drop down into a trench thing with some other swithching tracks bridging over the trench...

what type of pad is that, bright boy type or the type you use with the cleaner

is it a comon practice to use b units that differ from the a unit. Do the always use an F7 B unit with an F7 A unit?

the train pulls forward to one side of the wye turnout. It then backs up acrost the top in the diagram. It then goes forward down the other side of the wye.

A dremel with a cutoff whell seems to work the best. It gives the cleanest most precise cut. I have seen a cutter for the track but i dont see how it could give a clean cut.

As soon as spring and the tourist season starts I will be working for our local tourist line. Doing everything really, matenence, cook, sitting in the back on the dinner train to watch/blow the horn when it is going backward, tell all the people the history of the line with manny...

Look at nazguls thread his river looks awsome. couldn't tell you the page

and the link did not post so i will just do this http://www.alaskarails.org/pix/former-loco/RT-1503a.html

Through a link posted by triplex i found a site with locomotives from alaskan rails. Everyday I see this F7b unit that showed up a month or two ago. sure enough they had the history and photo of it

I almost forgot hopefully this weekend(3 day)I will get to start scratchbuilding some of the buildings in that last picture. I was thinking i could use those paper ones as a guide of sorts.

more progress. I finished (almost) the right front corner. I just put two lines with an engien house and munitions depot. I need to get some cannons or something. For now I put in the two tanks that came with the building. I touched up some small things around the layout and added more rock...

I think there is a ski train still to winterpark if/when you have another ski vacation

If you are flying in to Denver there are a couple of train museums. Great year to ski, it's snowing right now even. I suppose canon city is too far away but if you ever are in southern colorado the ride in the royale gorge is great

The most fool proof method is a lepard spoting method. First take paint thined down quite a bit so it is fairly transperent. We want just a stain. I think the woodland scenices are already thined down but i am not sure as I have never used it. Take a yellow ocer and color half the rock face...

I guess I have the broadest range. By n scale being specificly desinged for multi eras. As soon as I can find a couple of 4-4-0s with front couplers I will have 1880s-modern. The old town doubles as old west or the torist stop. The newer town will be like the down town in the town i live in...

I think the model power one has a dummy coupler. The back is a rapido so it would be odd to have a working knuckel coupler in front. I have one of their mikados and it has the dummy front coupler. I wounder if it is possible to add a front coupler. I did a little reserch and the engines the...

here is a picture of the stile that was in the picture

I saw some old pictures the other day of the first train to go threw the royale gorge and a couple from a later date. The picture that i really like was of 3 4-4-0 that were pulling a stagering 6 cars. On train was in front one was in the middel and one was at the end. I have seen some locos...

I just downloaded that HeliconFocus demo software and tried it on a group of pictures i took with this old 2 megapixel camera and it works great. I will have to buy that software along with a new camera. Thanks again for the help.

How exactly does that helican focus work? Thanks for all the input. I think thisw is a good time to buy a camera. I have seen some huge deals. Manufaturers a probably tying to get rid of exess that didn't seel before chistmas or someting
