That would actually make a neat little scene on a MR.

I can also suggest the Woodland Scenic foam inclines. They are inexpensive and foolproof. Since I'm not much with the power saw I went that route. Christina

I'm with you, this poll doesn't take into account my favourite 'ham and bacon' reefer.

Here are some more: http://www.ss42.com/pt-buildings.html

I got a kit, Dept. of Docks from FOS and the Chopper.

That should be ok then, the fourth track isn't really going to get any use, it only has to hold a locomotive. I was planning on using it as my programming track for DCC. The blue crosses the green at grade. The real problem with the whole thing at this point is where the various tracks cross...

I'm getting closer to something I can use:

I can vouch for this. I have this loco (it's fantastic) and it did run very slowly on DC. Just moved it to DCC this week and it's running way faster (as fast as I'd ever want it to) and of course I now have access to a multitude of sounds effects where only a few worked on DC. I looked at DCS...

Yet another version. This one gets the track out of the middle but I have a clearance problem where the track that is rising in elevation (red arrows) meets the return track coming down (in green). I'm also concerned this doesn't leave anough room for scenery but since the track is not drawn to...

There is no wall on the right, the only wall is at the top behind the long bench. The right side faces the garage door. The long bench continues right up to the door but part of it has to be saved for storage etc.

Now, working with this bench and since I can't seem to come up with much I tried this: You may recognise part of it. I took the plan that Galen drew for Nazgul and flipped it, then stretched it slightly and used it as a starting point. Still needs work though but I think it's getting at least...

I was thinking about this some more today and part of the problem is that there isn't a lot of room to turn trains around for continuous running. It occured to me that while I could not expand the banchwork to the right at all I could encroach to the left into the aisle, but not by much. Just...

It is available but since people will be reaching over the railroad in that spot I want to keep it simple, a yard or something like that with not many structures. I'm going to have to draw out your plan, it sounds great but I'm having a hard time picturing where everything goes!

I'm having a hard time picturing it but it sounds good Russ, thanks! The only thing I see as an issue is the village at the end of the bench. I had planned that to be pretty plain in that area because the electrical panel is above there (shown on the plan) and I have visions of people reaching...

It looks good but I think we need less track and more open space. Also my dad is 80 and frail, a duck under or lift out are both not options. As a matter of fact I am seriously considering a low height so he can use it seated. The area you asked about is going to have a divider. There can be a...

What I posted is exactly to scale and the benchwork is not negotiable, that's the benchwork. Now I just have to fit something on it. A single track most of the way is fine with me but I do have to have passing sidings, some spurs and that elevation of somesort. I appreciate your input.

Thanks for the interest. HO scale, 1940s-50s Haven't settled on exact locale but it's probably Maryland/Delaware/PA area. I'm building FOS Scale ltd.'s Dept. of Docks so want a waterfront. I also want a dairy farm and my dad wants some sort of coaling industry. A sawmill would be great if it can...

I went to the website and as far as I can tell I have the wrong decoder. The one for this locomotive has the connector at one end and just a bunch of loose wires at the other that I'm to solder to the various connection points. Not happening. I think I'll just wait for the budget to permit me to...

Having read all your advice about installing decoders I'm not sure I still want to get the shell off! All I have is a simple, no sound, digitrax controller. I did actually take the shell off but do not see anything that looks like a socket to plug the decoder into. Are you saying I have to...

If so I think I have a good shot at winning it. I'm having an awful time coming up with a plan. I've tried the various track planning software but can't get any of them to work for me. I finally drew this up in PhotoShop but it's terrible. Red is elevated, pink is tunnel, green is bench level...
