Mine was a mish-mash of things that I was able to afford after my first summer job...I had a B&O Lifelike Docksider, the Katy cattle car, an old Penn gondola that I stole from my brother's collection (which I have given back, some 40 years later!) and a Santa Fe Caboose. Only had a oval of brass...

Jandr, What a great idea to use power point for. (I'm an IT guy, why didn't I think of that!:cry:) Anyway great pix! It's a great layout now, can't wait to see the scenery start coming together. trainiac77

Would like to take a look at your site, but the link is broken. :eek:

Great idea! Why reinvent the wheel or industrial switching layout? Keep those pictures coming!

That's my style as well, freelance what fits in the space you have to work with. One of the first priorities on my approval list! (Now if I could only convince my wife!:rolleyes:)

Jandr, Thanks for the plans. It really gives perspective to all the other pictures. Did you come up with this or was it a prototype? Either way it's great! I'm in between layouts (and trying to sell my house!) so I'm just tucking those ideas away when I'm able to build the next layout...

Jandr, Your layout looks great! The TT is coming out fantastic. I was wondering if you had some sort of track drawing? with all those rises and different levels I was wondering how all the track ties in together? Thx

Awsome Job daboonk! :thumb: Great work on the bridges! :thumb: I say if you enjoy it, run it! That's what makes this hobby fun! For me, I would hate to have to always think twice about what runs with what. I'm happy running what have to run!

Looks great! Welcome to the gauge! Keep the pix coming!

Cracked PC boards are easily repairable...Just scratch off the green insulation on both sides of the crack and solder a piece of wire across. It can be tricky if the etches are small, just use smaller wire.

yeah but where are the pictures?

I think I have 120+ Loco's and 300 or so rolling stock, unfortunately everything is in storage, but that doesn't mean I should stop collecting! :mrgreen:

All pix are viewable now, thanks :mrgreen: By the way, have you thought about extra weights on the Green Line LRV? I have 2 of them and they really don't run very well. They seem to be very noisy. Your thoughts? Trainiac77

Hey downeaster, I like your North Station ideas, I don't think I've ever seen that modeled before, keep the updates coming! :thumb: I've tried to view all the pictures in your second post from 2 different computers on 2 different internet connections and I keep getting invalid link errors...

Trucklover, Please send me a PM with his eBay username, I'd like to see his other tools as well. Thanks!:thumb: Trainiac77

Hey Bob, One of my best friends lives in Phillipsburg. Welcome to the gauge! I've only been here a short time myself, it's been great! Enjoy!

I agree with FiatFan. Homasote can soak up moisture in the air and sag terribly, this comes from experience! Why no go with 5/8" Plywood only if you want to save money? (Not that I really recommend just plywood alone.)

Can that be done easily on a Walther's 130' TT?

Mentor, One thing I should have looked at in the beginning when I was in purchasing mode was that the 130' Walther's TT is code 83. I didn't realize that until a couple of night ago while I was installing more Roundhouse floors. I run code 100 completely! I did fine that Walther's sells a...

Mentor. One of these days I'll get some pictures up. For now there are only holes in the table. I have 2 more 3 stall round houses coming tomorrow and I'm bidding on a couple more on ebay. I'd like to have an almost complete circle of roundhouse. I just completed the concrete coaling tower...
