I Usually do some of the Honeydo list sot that I can use more of my weekends for the Trains. Jacob

I just threw this together during lunch, and wondered what everyones thoughts were. Does this look like something that is doable? -edit- Any suggestions are welcome. I have another drawing that I'll upload after I get home from work. I added a small industry spur in the middle, and...

looks great. Really giving me some more ideas for my layout. One question though, is that an outter loop, with a sort of figure 8 in the middle? Are they 2 seperate tracks with completely independent control, or can the train switch tracks while tunning? Thanks again, Jacob

Johnny B, I like what you did. Do you by chance have a overhead view or a layout drawing that I could see so I could take a look. I may take the plan I had in my other post, and remove one of the sidings, and put some sort of milling, or mining industry at the other, since I am not into...

Thanks for the tip. I'll take a look and see if I can find your pictures. Jacob

Right now I am thinking that the Bridge in the center will only need to be about 2.5 inches High, and I believe that would only make the grade between 3% and 4%, but I am not sure on that. Suggestions are always appreciated. Jacob

I to have my Amatuer Ticket and have never had a problem with a glass mount antenna, had one on my previous car, as long as you checked the way signal tranfers through the glass, there shouldn't be a problem. I currently use a 5/8 wave mounted on a home-made mount on the side of the Bed of my...

I am thinking about building a Coffee Table Layout for my next layout. I am thinking about making it 26" x 50" which is about the size of our current coffee table. Attached is what I am thinking about using. I got the Track Plan from "Mike's Small Trackplans", it is his 2x40007 plan that I...

but we can always try.

Looks like a good work in progress. I was thinking about possibly a coffee table layout for my second layout, and am looking for any ideas I can find. Would love to see some pics of the finished layout if you have any. Jacob

When I balasted the track on my first and current layout, I only have a 16" section of track balastes so far, I wasn't going to weather my track, as this is just so I could get some trains running. I used cork roadbed and the Life-like track that came with teh set I bought. I used a 1/4"...

I love your layout. I am actually planning on doing the same trackplan for my first real layout. I have a question though. I was wondering who make the two industry kits that you used. I circled them in the attached photo. Thanks, Jacob

Over the weekend, I purchased a Roundhouse Husky-stack car at a train show that had some slight damage, some of the hand rails are damaged. What would be the best way to recreate these, should I just use some thin wire and paint to match, or is there some other method that would give me a better...

This sounds like an interesting way to make some scenery, Would love to see some picture sof finished or maybe even a How-To. Jacob

I did the same thing. Made my benchwork from 1 x 3 and nailed a sheet of 1/4" Plywood down, and put the foam ontop. Makes it very easy to work with and extremely light. Jacob

I'm looking for a little help here. I am currently building my first Layout, Basic Loop of track that can with my Kit, and need to get some building to add to my layout. I am concidering building the Carolina Central Layout next, so what ever building I build, would need to be used on that...

I was thinking of doing something similiar, I have some 600 Grit Wet/Dry Sand paper that I was planning on using, and this stuff is almost as smooth as a piece of Card Stock. My question is what would be the difference between using a "Brite-Boy" track cleaner, and using something like 600 or...

I am working on my first basic layout (Just the oval of track that came with my set, and was wondering, when techni everyone uses to join their track, Do you solder your track together, then glue to Roadbed, or jus tuse the rail joiners and nail the track down? On this one I used the Rail...

I would like to know is there is a difference in rail size between Atlas Super Flextrack #2500 and Life-like Flex Track. Someone I work with has just given me 5 pieces of each, and I just wanted to make sure that they are compatible befor I start trying to assembly a layout using them. Jacob

Does anyone know where I might be able to find some plans for building in N-scale online the I might be able to download? Jacob:confused:
