I use templates and build them at the bench: Handlaying On30 trackwork with PCB ties You can make templates using flextrack for custom turnouts. Making them at the bench is so much easier than on the layout. I have done both. Thank you if you visit Harold

I make my turnouts using templates as it is more flexible: I have a "what-I-did" at: Handlaying On30 trackwork with PCB ties Fast Tracks has templates and pcb ties. I strip rail from flextrack it is cheaper. I have used their fixture and it works well but limits what trackwork you are...

The On30 2-8-0 will not run on an HO layout. It is much too big. It probably has a hard time running on most On30 layouts. Harold

I have a "what I did" about my Mark 3 U-clip link and pin system. We are converting HO EZ-Mates to drawbars at: Make Operational On30 U-Link-n- Pin Coupling from EZ-Mates "You're gonna take a finger off with those babies!!!!", exclaims Engineer Bill Thank you if you visit Harold

38" drivers on 3-1/2 foot centers. Harold

I am back to 1905, the time frame fits the Bachmann 2-8-0's, which I really like. When I got the 4-4-0 with those "hinky" drivers, I was thinking about selling it. It really doesn't look like a typical NG 4-4-0 and doesn't match the Bachmann rolling stock. I always felt the prototype was the...

Actually On3 has no advantage unless you are modeling Colorado or have big bucks for an MMI 4-4-0. I think the idea of a K class engine in On30 is rather silly. On30 fits my need for out of Colorado narrow gauge and that is the niche it fills quite nicely. The MMI 4-4-0 will not look good in...

I have a "what I did" on big drivers on the Bachmann On30 4-4-0 at: Big Drivers for the Bachmann On30 4-4-0 Thank you if you visit Harold

I have 18" turns in On30 and have no problems. Visit: Come Ride the On30 Pacific Coast Air Line Railway Thank you if you visit Harold

I have a web article examining the new Bachmann On30 4-4-0 at: http://www.pacificcoastairlinerr.com/on30_4-4-0/ Thank you if you visit Harold

Looks really good. Harold

As much as I love "S" scale, I don't have the time or patience to assemble the equpment required in a minority scale/time period. On30 provides the equipment and allows more time for layout building even though it isn't the era I would like to be modeling, the 1870's. It is still wooden cars and...

I have a "what I did" about handlaying turnouts in "gangs" at the bench at: Handlaying On30 Turnouts in Gangs Thank you if you visit Harold

I am "retracking" the un-finished portion of the On30 Pacific Coast Air Line Railway with handlaid track replacing the HO Atlas Code 100 track. I have am chronicling the adventure at: Handlaying On30 trackwork with PCB ties Thank you if you visit Harold

Wagon Road Creek on the On30 Pacific Coast Air Line. Harold

We have a web album from our November 17, 2007 visit to Stephen Fisher's new On30 Deep Run Railroad. His old railroad was featured in the November 2007 "Model Railroader" at: Stephen Fisher's New On30 Deep Run Railroad Thank you if you visit Harold

Not there. I only put the Soundtraxx PNP LC unit in a shay. That has been discontinued. The new mini Tsunami should fit. Harold

The white primer isn't to seal the log it just creates a blank palette to add color. I like the Kilz2 because it dries in an hour. Harold

A log is a tree trunk therefore it should follow that you could use it for making tree trunks. Harold

Mike Siggins used my method to make some logs and was kind enough to take a picture of them Harold
