    N Scale flatcar with airplane

    There used to be a guy named "Dave", IIRC, who modelled N-scale military railroads, airfields and all sorts of things.

    Fascinating! The railroad doesn't look very profitable.

    For serious N-scalers, scratch-building is very much alive and vital.

    Google search tip

    Yet the function of a members list is provide the names in the first place. Unless you already know the name, Google won't provide you with one; therefore, only the active posters can be tracked, whereas most forums have many more members than just the active posters.

    I can't agree. The magazines routinely feature layouts that often take decades to finish. The layout of the finished scratchbuild project along with the description of what was involved remains the same as for the mega-layouts that now seem to dominate the hobby.

    Scratchbuilding is dead, I guess

    I think it really depends on which portion of the hobby he's talking about. If it's HO, he might be right, but for other scales a lot of scratchbuilding goes on. BTW, you will find the "wood solder" in the Men's Department, right next to the Track Pins and Railroad Ties. :mrgreen:

    OK - I'm going to go ahead and ask a stupid question: On those long belt runs, what keeps the belts from slipping laterally?

    Why be "ticked"? Greater interest is in the best interests of the hobby, right? And no one forum has exclusive rights to the hobby, so it's all for the best.
