    The Podunk and Urbanopolis in HO/HOn3 & N

    I learned was that it would be better to have open ended holed (like U's) where the rods attach to the sub roadbed so they could be put in from the side instead of vertically. That is a very good idea. tearing it down then would be a snap. You gave me a great idea that will come in very...

    Engine Terminal build

    I am still looking for good prototypes and tips on painting this bugger up. The turntable that is. I actually might need to remove it and shim it from the bottom to bring the edge of the pit down. Pictures would help if anyone is interested in helping.

    please size your pictures so it isn't so difficult to view them. Majority of all people have resolutions of 1024X768 but if you are covering all your bases 800X600 would fit this forum perfectly
