Nice work Val. That's a good looking loco

Ha Del, I used the EZMates to convert some of my old tyco, but I didn't used the converter thingy. I didn't know there was such a thingy. All I did was make a little shim to go under the coupler to keep it from saging in the front. They are working fine with the new stuff. I also have a couple...

Congrats. Harold, looking foward to reading your articale

AJ Foyt the IV(his grandson) is driving Indy cars, and his son Larry is driving NASCAR.

That's funny, I wonder how many people they could have keeped on the payroll for the price of their "new image"?

Ha Mikey, We pick our team, or is it a draw?

I'll play, I've followed NASCAR since the mid. 70's, and I have to say, NASCAR was alot better before they ran off Winston for PC reasons, came up with the out of bounds line, not racing back to the caution flag, the lucky dog rule, 4 car teams, quit going to Wilksboro and Rockingham, did away...

All great photos guys, I really like Bobs B&W shot.

How about the rubber thread that's in socks to make them elastic?

They play fine on my XP Windows Media Player

I like the back of the tool box, that's cool. What's up with the stars and bars in Idaho?

Junkie, I like the plan, but most of your benchwork looks to be 6" wide? Two tracks will take up 4" min. so there's 1" left for scenery/blending to the backdrop on each side? Weren't you going to have a 12" shelf? I've been working with a 12" shelf and it's hard to make two tracks "fit" without...

A word of caution about two sided tape, some kinds are SUPER sticky and meant to be perminate. What is the tabletop made of?

Loads from narrow gauge cars were often off loaded to a dock or warehouse and stockpiled till there was enough product for std gauge. so both gauges need to use the same track, but at seperate times. Plus the economy of a single track with a third rail vs two seperate tracks.

Ha Junkie, Considering the size of the room, a helix would be the only way up and they take up to much of a small room. I'd make the shelf a seperate layout and model a different era/prototype. You can hide the lights for the layout below under the shelf.

Welcome to the gauge Z, I think it would be a good way to start out in the hobby, IF you have the cash to drop all at once vs buying a little as you go.

Ha Xavier, Yes c100/ Code 100. RP 25 is the NMRA standard for wheel profile.

That is a cool site :D

Ha Nemo, welcome to the gauge, I notice the center loop of the lower side has only one way in and out, once a train enters, it will have to back out. Also, I'd try and make better use of a 15' x 14' room, remember all the space under the layout can be storage once the wiring is done.
