Hi Steve, You could take the train. sign1 There's a couple of nice B&B's nearby too... How about the 5th Annual CARM National Convention Hamilton, ON. May 16/17/18 ???

Hi Riverotter and CSXect, sign1 Go ahead, I don't mind being hijacked sign1 I think the term is "Rubber-Gauger" when you have so many different trains. I'm a "Rubber-Gauger" too. HO, Sn42, On30 and Hn42. Yes, there are two different RTR tracks available for On30 that can be used on...

Hi Andrew, Instead of using plaster, why don't you use latex caulk? It remains flexible. It comes in different colours. [Brown, grey, white, clear and some others....] It can be painted. If it is too thick for dipping, you can thin it out to the consistancy of molasses by adding...

Hi CSXect, Are you an S-Gauger or S-Scaler? Tin Plate with Rock-'em Sock-'em couplers or are you doing two rail? There is an S-Scale group here that is doing Free-Mo modules that you might be interested in: The S-Scale Workshop They have a Yahoo! Group: Free-moS : Free-moS There...

Hi Bones, I've put the message out on several Yahoo! Groups and others of our group have done the same. We're casting a wide net in order to bring in as many folks as possible. But we're happy to make room for more.

Use shadow box construction. Bring the facsia up and around to join with the valance. This frames each scene and separates it from the next.

Turn Table Control Hi Big Jim, The 1/4" phono plug and jack should work fine. Track polarity can be controlled with a roller micro switch or you can use a DCC auto-reverser unit. You can even use optical detectors for polarity. There's more than one way to skin a cat and here's a...

Anyone?

Train Group / Club Hi Dave, Some suggestions to get your group going. Someone needs to step up and take a leadership role. It looks like you are the guy to do it. Lay out some basic ground rules and a plan and then stick to your guns. Have them follow or drop out to go their own...

Anderson PowerPoles And another year goes by... :mrgreen: Here's a link to the PowerWerx Website:PowerWerx.com for Anderson PowerPole electrical connectors They have Anderson PowerPole electrical connectors that we use for connecting our Free-MOn30 modules. They are also endorsed...

announce1 The Narrow Gauge Madness Gang is seeking Exhibitionists! announce1 announce1 If you are a narrow gauge modeller and you'd like to do a little show and tell let me know. announce1 We are having contests for various narrow gauge models and layouts, so if you want to win, you have...

Reverse wiring for Wye. Here's what I did. I use a DPDT to reverse polarity on one leg of the wye. The DPDT also throws the points of the turnout. In my case, it is a stub turnout, but it can be done with point turnouts as well.

Thanks! I like the snow shed... There's another module that I built that has the track running through a cut. I'd like to build a snow shed over it.

With Free-MOn30 we are allowing 4% grades on the mainline. My module is actually a switch-back. Interface #1 (top right) is at 0" Interface #2 (bottom) is at 1" Interface #3 (top left) is at 2" That's a scale 8' elevation...

Thanks. It's 5' long. With Free-Mo, you don't have to build 2'x4' "Dominoes", and/or anything that is in 2' increments... Those unsociable building blocks for making a fortress for the trainboys to hide in.... Operations are point to point or use "Balloon" loops on the ends to turn...

Free-Mo Module for On30... O-Scale narrow gauge 2.5' (30") :thumb: See the link in my signature for the Free-MOn30 module standards.

Hi Kids, This is my new Free-MOn30 Module. I was working on it at the Toronto Christmas Train Show and I've got the base, frame, fascia and cookie-cutter roadbed built so far...

Hi Andrew, I agree that sharp curves can be a problem, even though most G-Scale stuff is built to go around a 48" radius curve, it doesn't always look good doing it... However, if you break away from a tail chaser set-up and do a linear point to point layout, there won't be a problem...

Hi Andrew, Yes, G-Scale modules can be a real challenge. It's hard to fit much scenery onto a small slab of real-estate. Although, the Gn15 guys manage to put a lot of detail into their micro layouts...
