w00t! Finally got the tables up. I still need to throw more legs under these things, but as it stands now there is a surface approximately 4' 1/4" from the floor and it holds HO track with O scale trains quite lovely. On30, FUN! Deep thought for the day: It is rather difficult to take a...

I about put a quarter inch drill bit through my left hand tonight. Don't tell my wife. Alls well that ends well, I suppose.

That's why clubs are so great. Just put in some back breaking time maintaining the track and just maybe a rich fella will let you drive his train ;)

Yeah, I'd say they modeled their people a bit out of scale ;)

Here's a great video example of cassettes in action. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6132610114655011962&q=model+railway&hl=en They used the "two L beams screwed to a strip of wood" technique. Appears to work rather well.

I know there are some British blokes around the forums, and surely there are some car guys here too. You all may be familiar with James May, co-presenter of the BBC car show "Top Gear". Well he did a toy show and claims his "absolute favorite" toy is the train set...

WOW. Though I still wonder why people build their entire outdoor layout up on stilts.

Somebody who really cares about that engine should clean it up real purdy like that white fence ;)

Depends on if you're asking "What do you have most of?" or "What do you enjoy more?" ;)

In search of a hand laid (or prototype) curved double crossover I found this fancy bit of hand laid track. Impressive! But not what I was looking for. Without doing too much part construction in XTrkCAD I came up with this: I'm only curious if a photograph of such a device is...

But what he didn't see was the BNSF lashup rolling 45mph on the second set of tracks coming up behind the stationary tunneler. **SMASH** ;)

Oh the humanity!

It's been a month since I (or anyone else) has posted here. My wife had a job opportunity in Aberdeen, Washington. Before I went any further on the layout I wanted to know how soon I'd be taking it right back apart. Well, we flew up there for the weekend and as much as we both want to be in the...

What gauge is the track in the first picture? It sure doesn't look like standard gauge.

Ah! Couldn't remember what that link was. I've found that service to be nice as a substituite to Google Maps. They make older B/W aerial photos available at closer zooms where Google just doesn't provide an image.

If you don't want to install the Google Earth application you can at least get 2D mappings from http://maps.google.com in the web browser. Google Earth is pretty amazing.
