Layout Dimentions Hi, Mrplow, Hope this helps. These are my layout dimentions. I hope you can read them OK. The 16' walk area at the bottom left is all could manage in the space I have but it is enough to get down to rerail any possible derailments (Not had any yet!!!!!!). Dennis

Layout NAZGUL was asking for my layout plan some time ago and after several poor attempts at doing it with a Cad Program I gave up and drew it myself. I have double track all around the layout. Looking at the yard area, Main Line 1 is at the top and Main Line 2 is below it. At the moment it is...

I am working on the Canyon river bed....adding water. Also working on a small lake. I have painted the river bed and the lake with a mix of dollar store acrylics, light green plus blue and a touch of black. I am trying to copy the colour we have in Alberta's Rockies. My next step will be adding...

Hi Rob, Glad the lumber loads Email came through OK. It is easy to make them up if you can cut up some small blocks of wood. Yes, I will be stripping all those trees off my layout as I want to make a much more realistic tree. I will keep you in mind when it happens. Dennis

Hi Andrew, My Club...The Edmonton N Scalers are in discussions at the moment, about building a Freemo N layout for travelling to shows etc. Most of the Ideas though, are with a single track. How does your twin track work and where are the 2 tracks positioned? Dennis

Hi Josh, Nice to see someone else builing the Blast Furnace. We have one on our club layout but still need to do the surrounding finishing. One of our menbers did the assembly and painting but those Slag Cars etc. would be nice to have out front. I do know of a guy who scatch built some using...

Hi Ron, You are correct .... You can use either Gloss Medium or Matte Medium. I chose Matte....It shows up fairly shiny because of my halogen lights shining on it.. I would think that water would show up different depending on the day...Cloudy or Sunny. That's my story and I'm sticking to...

Hi Jim, For the water in my docks and the fast flowing river, I used Matte Medium which is available at Drafting and Art stores. It is a syrupy consist and you spred it evenly over the surface. You have lots of time to make little waves in it as it takes overnight to set. I used the handle end...
