ok thanks for the advice:)

Hey thanks again for the information it really helped:) . I think modules are definately the way to go and intend to make a couple of those. I think that the small space will prove more manageable and will allow me to concentrate on more things. As for the roundhouse, i dont think that i...

thanks nachoman for the recomendations.. yes, i would prefer a continuos loop of running, but do you think it would be possible to have possibly one train continuosly running while i could operate another with switching? i dont know if this really makes sense at all or is practical:rolleyes...

Absolutely fantastic! I love the layout! :thumb: :D :D

Hey all, i have recently taken a liking to modeling the logging industries. I would like to model the early 1900's and was wondering how much space would be recomended for a decent logging operation line. I realize that i could probably fit a lot into a very small space but was wondering what...

I dont know if this will help since you already ordered your books, but a great one too look into for scenery is the "How to build Model Railroad Scenery" from Model Railroader Books published by Kalmbach Books and written by Dave Frary. It is very extensive and I have almost lived by it for my...

That would be pretty sweet to have a train that ran all by itself, no worries about maintenance!:thumb: Maybe u can convince the ghost to do a little modeling and a couple additions on the layout :D :D

Thanks a lot Tom, that link you gave me was really great. It at least showed me what I had to do to put it back together. Haha thanks MilesWestern.. this is one of those locomotives that seems like it actually could catch fire! :eek: I probably will gean athearn or some other better quality...

Thanks for the link LongIslandTom... too bad i cant get on to it. It says i am forbidden and cannot go on to the server or something but ill address that issue later. I think i found my main problem with the engine. There is a large metal block that the wires connect to in the middle of the...

Yea i wouldnt pay $60 dollars for it either... luckily i got it for $11!:thumb: Thanks for the advice too.. im gonna see if i can disassemble it right now and clean it up a bit... there is some corrosion on the wheels and brass electricity conducters.. (im not sure what they are called but...

Hey everybody i think this is the right forum.. i just got hold of a Santa Fe diesel locomotive that says it was made in yugoslavia and i was wondering if anybody could identify it. I googled it and came across a link that im pretty sure is EXACTLY what i have, just in much better condition...

I had a similar system of E-Z track for my O scale layout and it worked out fine. I even eventually ballasted the track and it was pretty hard to tell that it wasn't a molded roadbed.. Also... i dont know if this helps or is completely useless... but it is possible to remove the bachman...

Thanks again for the advice. I'm going to take a visit to my local hobby store today and if i cant find anything there I will most likely order some stuff from IHC and Athearn...

Thanks for the help on the trains and stuff. I think im going to purchase a small 0-8-0 switcher or something from them and stay away from the cars... Any advice on the structure kits though? are those decent quality or could i find something else for about the same price or a little more that...

Here is the layout area if it worked!

Hello all, this is my first post on this forum :) . I have been a long time observer of The Gauge but for some reason never joined... Well i finally decided to take the initiative to build my very own layout after the pictures of some of the great layouts on this forum were not as...
