Vital Statistics: Width - 42" Depth - 22" Lower loop radius - 9.25" Upper curve radius - 8.25" Maximum elevation change 3" Bench work: So far, $40 has been invested in infrastructure at the local Home Depot. Primarily a box of drywall screws, some hemlock 1x2s, and some 1/2" plywood...

As mentioned in this thread: http://www.the-gauge.com/showthread.php?t=13333 I've decided to revisit the old Gumstump and Snowshoe plan with some modifications. Well, here's an update on my little project. I've decided to loosely model the Old Slow and Easy (Oregon & Southeastern)...

Although I don't have much of a roster, I have MT couplers on everything except for a Con-Cor SW 1200 Switcher I have not converted yet. I have a couple of cars by Atlas that have their versions of MT couplers, though. I am not a fan of the rapido couplers.

Now if you insist on making a pulmonary inquiry, my cholesterol is much better now that I'm exercising and losing a little weight... Sorry, but somebody had to do it! :D Good luck with the club.

I am referring to a homasote roadbed made by these folks: http://www.homabed.com It looks interesting. I am wondering how easy it is to work with...

In a past life I built a layout using 1x2 benchwork with a cookie-cutter plywood base covered with homosote and used cork for the roadbed. I loved the way homosote held the track, but wasn't overly enamored with the cork. I found this product and am considering using this directly on the...

Hopefully it will arrive next week from Trainworld. I plan to put it to use on a VERY small logging layout based on Geren Mortensen's so called "little layout" (an extended version of the old gumstump & snowshoe plan) I hope to build sometime soon. I have been researching the OP&E in Western...
