Here's a link to a pretty generic one that should work for just about anything. You need Adobe Reader to view it: Link

Found it... 40th Buckeye Model Trains and Railroad Artifacts Show Ohio Expo Center (Lausche Bldg) 717 East 17th Ave Columbus, OH 43211 9am-4pm Admission: $6 adults, 12 and under free Ohio's largest combination model train and railroad artifact show. Over 325 tables with large operating...

Cool! I didn't know about the show, but I will try to make it there! My girlfriend lives in Delaware, so I'll be heading that way this weekend anyway. Where is it, and what times? Also, don't forget to check out the official Gauge thread on name badges! That way we can all find one another.

Everything I do is 100% done on the computer, mostly using PhotoShop. I started out with a square, then made the shapes and colors I wanted, then added the text. The last thing I did was rotate the canvas 45 degrees to give the diamond shape. I too zoom in and clean up the edges to make...

Brian and Russ... Thanks for the suggestions, and I dug up those MR magazines and read the articles myself. However, this layout, like the others, has elements that I like and those that I don't. The most glaring thing is that I don't really like the dividing walls shown on the Appalachian...

Here's a black version. Thanks for the complements, guys! :oops: As far as the logo itself, I like it. But the downside is, remember this is for an N scale railroad. When I scale this logo down to size, it's almost unreadable. There may be a few tweaks I can make, but I don't know if my...

A few heralds:

It's funny that you posted that, because I was just down at the LHS (which is a 40 minute drive for me) looking at layout books. I think I saw that plan, or something like it, in the 101 Trackplans book. I picked up The Classic Layouts of John Armstrong and Track Planning for Realistic...

Thanks! :thumb: Yes, I'm trying...what's the word? Proto-freelance? I saw that description used somewhere to describe something like this.

Yeah, I think you're right. The D&LN was supposed to be responsible for Lima to the Michigan state line, but I thought I read somewhere once that they did come this far south.

I agree. I'm leaning very strongly towards Erie & Southern for that very reason. It sounds "railroady", and it's like I've heard it before. And not to mention, it looks really cool on my paint scheme: I have a few herald designs in the works too. I'm switching to a diamond shape, because...

555 kilometers = around 345 miles (for those of us in the US who are still trapped in the stone age of the "standard" system of measure). $25 million for that kind of trackage seems like a bargain to me. Was the SAR in some kind of financial trouble? I don't know much about these kinds of...

In creating a new story/timeline for this new railroad, I decided to incorporate the W&N. At some point in its history, the former W&N merged with this new company to form XX Railroad Co...whatever I end up naming it. The tracks between Norwalk and Freemont are owned by NKP and NYC, and is the...

I'm hitting a wall with the plan I'm working on in 3rd PlanIt. This is a pretty good sized layout for N scale, and I'm wondering if I'm going to need some additional under layout staging. Hopefully I can get access to a scanner. I have several good ideas down on paper, but transferring that...

EDMONTON (CP) - Canadian National Railway Co. (TSX:CNR) is buying the 555-kilometre Savage Alberta Railway from Savage Companies of Salt Lake City, Utah, for $25 million. "The acquisition represents an opportunity for CN to solidify its freight franchise in resource-rich northwestern Alberta,"...

Bad kitty!

Here are some layouts similar to what I want:

Haha! I didn't even think of that. sign1
