Flat panel monitors have their advantages :D You give the concept "My desktop layout" a new face sign1

You say it´s a budget layout made off stuff that were left over. Well, it don´t looks like it´s made of scrap. Looks great :thumb:

I just recently bought these two GP20:s and I´m so happy for them. The GP20 is my first memory of american locos and ever since then they have a special place in my heart. Here´s another picture of GP20-1107

Welcome to the forum Denyon :) New to the forum but it seems like you have been in business for a long time. That harbor sure looks just great :) Please show us some more pics from your layout and please tell us more about it. From the picture it seems like your railroad goes around the walls...

Wow, what a tempo you have! Impressing :) And so well documented. It can be nominated to "How to build a model railroad". The Barrel factory looks just great with that old tar roof for instance. Finally, applause for an excellent work :)

I know what I need: patience to make my peco turnouts dcc-friendly ;)

I know have glued cork under the track and the trackplan is about to become what I was expecting. As you can see there´s a lot of track at a small space but I wish to put some wagons and locos just to show off at the station module :) The cork roadbed should be cut more precisely but that´s...

Wow! As said before the edge is close, so very close, almost like walking the line. But the layout looks very good and offer a lot of trafic possibilities. And you have come pretty far in your work. It feels so good to be able to run a train and test the track :)

That report is something I look forward to take part off :)

A big step to take from O to N but worth every minute and effort. Today I build in both HO and N and are getting more and more comfortable with N-scale. The problems that once was especially with locos stopping all the time seems to be history with modern locos :)

That´s a good expression :thumb: "I´ll put it in my physical memory *LOL*" Is that a good use of LOL?

I´m not so familiar with the english language so I wonder what "LOL" means :) I suppose it´s something good...or?!?

Thanks for the tip David! It seems to be a good solution to the problem :) But, do I really need to take the spring out from the turnout? I think that I will try to keep the springs for the time being...

Could you please tell a little bit more about how much time is needed before a loco is broken in? I suppose the speed/voltage has some importance too...or?

For the time being I let the turntable rest in peace :) I bought some cork that is used to make gaskets off at the local hardware store and it seems to work quite well to make the roadbed of. I glued the cork with white glue... Right now I´m thinking of how to make the turnouts work at the...

You are so right and I´m so proud to be the owner of a couple of these locos. In Sweden they are called "Rc" and it´s the most used loco in Sweden today for mixed use on electric lines. From the beginning they were painted orange, then repainted to blue and today you can see green and black too...

I really would like to have one of those :) I have never seen any Amtrak even as a model in real life but I like the way they look. Thanks for sharing the pictures...

Looks great! Can almost hear the motor of the GE-70...

Small! That´s an understatement :) Sometimes I feel that they don´t exist when I´m chasing them around at the work table. I use a little bit of grease on the tip of them and that seems to be sufficient :thumb:

We use the Roco DCC-system and we are quite satisfied with the way it works. We old fellows don´t need more options than we can handle. Anyway, we installed a decoder in a old Piko locomotive and were amazed about how good even old locos work when they get new life trough DCC :thumb: You can see...
