That should be doable on a 5x8. I would draw it out first, like you plan. Good plan to start with. Industries, an area for a town and scenery. Good choice. Loren

Grindar, Mikes Small Trackplans website and Thor's Trains website have some trackplans you can look at. Loren

I received the Ubuntu live cd yesterday. It booted up and ran great on my Vista computer. In fact, I am impressed. It found my video, sound and wireless router with no problem, even my all-in-one printer. I was able to connect to the net first thing and all I had to do was start Firefox. When I...

Hey Floyd:wave: I have had good luck with gorilla glue. It does have a 24 hour drying time, should be clamped, and does expand, so there could be some clean up. Loren

Ain't it great when you see that first train run? Congratulations :thumb: Loren

Riverotter, that is the whole idea. Some buildings to give the tracks reason for being, and that is all I plan on. Floyd, glad to hear from you! What kind of metal are the pieces you are try to glue? Can they be soldered? Or maybe you should start a thread and ask the folks here. I bet somebody...

trackwork is done again Hooray!, the trackwork is done again. But I gotta admit it was worth it. This is turning into a real fun layout to operate. I have been sitting there for hours operating the layout and having a ball! I even bought a switchlist program to enhance operations more. Now, the...

Could we have both? One like a tutorial and then a complete thread for those that want to enjoy the whole experience. Loren

deckroid, I sent you a p.m. Loren

Nice this weekend? Were supposed to have snow and rain. On the bright side, my wife works this weekend, so I can run trains while she's gone. bounce7 Loren

I chose running/operations. At this point in my modeling, I don't even want ballast because it affects the track work. Loren

Do not wire the Atlas machine to the dpdt unless you want to release the magic smoke. The Atlas machines are momentary contact only. I had used the Atlas buttons for years with no problem until I went manual. They are usually very sturdy. Loren

Southsounder, did you get your loco's programed? If not, are you using a programming track with the resistor in line? If you are, take all other locos off the track and program on the main, or take out the resistor. When I was using EZ Command, I had one engine that could only be programed on...

I am sorry that happened to you, but that is hilarious!:roll1: Loren

The name of the file is right on. Idiot_3_insane-1 Loren

We have a branch line here called the Meeker Southern. Maybe 5 miles long. He does not have a set schedule so I have never caught him on the road to take pictures. Otherwise he keeps the loco and caboose fenced in and will not let anybody near it. As you can see in the photo, he lives there. Loren

Man, are you a glutton for punishment:p I have been interested in Linux for years and downloaded and installed it twice. The last time I managed to install it and had it operating, but that was as far as I could get. Any programs I downloaded and installed would never run. And neither would half...

Good question. I have one to but never thought about that. Loren
