Not bad, thanks for the ideas Russ!! Dave

Methinks your new layout will provide loads of fun! Nice!:thumb: Oh yeah don't forget to post pics of your progress! Dave

Thanks NKP. Being only 1' wide I have made no provision for legs to be added to stand alone, I will just set it on a large enough table to operate it. The original intent for this layout is to take to local meetings with my train group. We have been meeting for the better part of a year and...

Thanks to Jesso over on the "N" scale forum for the inspiration... today I built an Inglenook Sidings based switching layout. It is 1'x6' and is measured for 34' cars with a 0-6-0 and tender. The 3rd pic shows my setup for the power pack, a phono jack, one on either side of the module, so I...

If you're talking about painting the layout itself paint it before you lay track. Paint the track after you lay it. In both cases you will get better results this way. Dave

"We"??? are building a layout?!?!? :thumb: Lucky man, you stumbled onto a keeper if she is modeling trains with you! Where can I get me one of those?!?! sign1 As for the DCC thing it is true that many older locomotives do not lend themselves well to DCC conversion, however if you have a...

Very nice! I especially like the first one, not sure why but it's my favorite! :thumb: Dave

All but the wide-bodys, no bi-directional stands on those. I did like the old-style control stand on the NS CW44-9 I got to run once.

Those look great! :thumb: While it is true that trees turn orange in the fall gradually you will see that there are plenty of unrealistically uniformly orange colored trees out there. I would definitely use those. Also I have a maple tree in my yard that is that color almost all year around...

I could be wong but I believe the Tropicana Juice Train is currently a 100% CSXT routing. Dave
