Regina aint so bad. Well I live in Regina and I love it here. I'm from Vancouver where you rust with all the rain, and I like the definite weather change here and lack of liquid weather for about 6 months of the year. I love the snow and I do my little boogity dance when the first flakes fly...

Actually, the green tractor is going to be all rusty and sitting in a field with other obsolete farm machinery. This is part of the lure of old farms for me. The old equipment sitting around rusting away. Wagons half rotted into the earth. Old grain sheds and chicken coops half rotted and...

I'm building a farm display. This is not going to be a running layout, but more of a display because I got some diesel equipment that I can't run on my turn of the century logging layout. I also think the whole farming thing is fun to model as I love old barns and old farms in general. :thumb...

I was at our local train show last weekend, and I was ready for some deals. The pickens were slim, compared to last year, but I did manage to get some stuff I can use. I got a nice model of a branch line water tower. This comes with a whole whack of congregated tin for the roof and the shed...

My fave, of course, was the logging action.

There was a real nice "Under The Tree Town" too.

This young lad had a nice collection of Marx trains on display.

this other fellow had long trains running and quite a yard.

Howdy. So last weekend was the model railroad show for Regina. All in all I didn't think it was quite as good as it was last year, but there was some stuff to see. Here are some pix for you to see what modelers are doing in this part of the world.

Take a look at my storage solution. http://www.the-gauge.com/thread10761-rock-walls-for-fish-tank-project.html TrainClown

A real good job, I must say! TrainClown ;)

I'm glad to see you did something with my design. Unfortunatly I think I see a problem. I think you have put the tracks to close together, and your trains wont be able to pass each other. The gray area around the track line in my design is the ballast. Putting in the ballast give you a...

Adding a run-around may seem like extra work, but in opperation, you will be glad you did it. Then you could sort your cars. Put a magnetic uncoupler on each side of the run-around. Then you can drag a car out, uncouple it, run around it, then put in the consist you want, without having to...

Ok Clark, here are the specs. It's called a MC Three-way Angle is 24.3 Frog mumber is 2.322 normal length = 7 13/32" Routing Length = 7 1/4" Entry to intersection = 4 11/32" Rail closure radius = 11 13/16" Centerline to routing exit = 1 21/32" If it was me, I would go to the LHS and...

Glad to help, Clark. :D Makes all that head scratchin' worth it. TrainClown ;)

Keep up the good fight, Mike. We're thinking about you and we'll say a prayer for you and your family. TrainClown

Thanks, Charles. Sure there is a prototype for three-way switches, as long as you use a stub-type switch. I got a photo somewhere of just such a thing. I'll work on the runaround at the top. TrainClown ;)

Put in a lift bridge and your trains can run right round the room with very lare turns indeed. TrainClown ;)

Hi Clark. You might want to run a test, because a 11 inch curve in N gauge would be a 22 inch curve in HO gauge and from what I understand, this isn't to sharp a curve for long trains. I could be wrong about this. What do you other N gaugers think? Is an 11 inch curve to tight for a long...

Hi Clark. Well........after a good scratch, ai came up with this plan. I couldn't help put a run-around track up top. If yer gonna stage yer trains, you should have a way to line them up without havin' the giant pink crane swing into action. :rolleyes: The rest is self explanatory. Run...
