Just posted two new batches of track plans. I nthe O/O27 section are more 3' by 5' layouts for O27. They have been added to the 3' by 5' heading. In N and HO, I have added 9 new mini layouts for a 2' by 4' area. These offer lots of operational opportunities i na small space, but are not...

Nice find! Another way to enjoy narrow gauge! :)

Don, That is indeed one of mine. It has prototype railroad pics. My main site at http://www.thortrains.net has most of that, plus all the model RR stuff for O, O27, S, HO, TT, N, G and Standard gauge. My father and grandfather had worked for the Lackawanna. :)

Frank, We had a lot of trouble with the old Windows ME, and I had to upgrade to XP. In the interim, we lost a LOT of email and for a while, folks weren't getting through to us. I can get email now without problems. I'm glad you enjoyed the paper kits. I have a lot of fun designing them.

Try the RR track software, or the freeware from Atlas. If yo uwant an idea of what Atlas track cando, visit my website and look at the o / O27 plans. Some use the Atlas track geometry.

Those are good track plans, and I see that the owners like to own a lot of cars. Folks who enjoy a proliferation of rolling stock go for more yards. :eek: All nice plans, though. And if you have any doubt that I know track plans, stop by the All Gauge Page (listed below). I use RR...

Many thanks, folks. I'm slowly recuperating, and hopefully can climb back into my attic train room soon. And maybe even take that trip to Allaire for a few more critter photos. Time will tell. For now I just sit tight and make the best of it. :)

Hi all! I'd been feeling a bit down the past couple months, hence my scarce appearance. Then came the heart attack. I've been out of the hospital about a week now. Anyway, all kinds of projects for my website have been delayed. Hopefully I'll get some new stuff posted by the end of May

Just posted pics of Narrow Gauge equipment - also got nice pohots of a completely dismantled 2-6-0 Baldwin. It was laid out like a model kit. These are in the Narrow Gauge link on my site - the link is in both the O/O27 and Large Scale & Garden railways sections. Enjoy

Jon, Just posted some more critter shots, but none of the Push Terminal. I got the 2 foot gaugers again, and a couple in back. You might enjoy them. Also have pics of a totally dismantled 2-6-0 narrow-gauge Baldwin, laid out like a model kit. I'll see if there are any really new shots...

Ted, I'll have more S layouts up some time in 2003 - I cover most of the current scale and gauges. Jon, When I saw the name of your railway, it scared me. I was afraid your pike might be hauling lutefisk. .:eek: If you are into critters, I still have a few MDT switchers i nthe box...

Critters! I have a few more critter pics...have to see if I got any more of the Mack. They will be posted in a few days.

Just winding down the annual major update on the All Gauge Page ( http;//www.thortrains.net) I have added Holiday Layouts - track plans for running trains under the Tree, plus new Kids' Layouts and Doorway Layouts. Among the new plans we manage to cover HO, N, O / O27, Atlas O, G, S and...

I have a paper kit of a haunted house on my site - just download, open in a DRAW program, print and assemble. Great for the kids. It can be scaled for HO, N, OO and TT. There are also other holiday diorama kits on the page ,fro ma Viking Ship for Leif Erikson's Day to Yule Villages and paper...

I finally added a section of Train Toys to my website. This is juqst a nice varietyy of toys like battery-operated sets, wooden toys, cast iron floor trains, etc. Those photos of the cats wrecking trains expanded into a section. Now I just have to get some S Gauge and Standard gauge to cover...

Last might I was photographing some of the Maisto "On Track" diecast trains for an article on my website - they're 1/131 size (not really scale). I got help - lots of it. Feline help. Here are pics of the cats doing their thing: http://www.thortrains.net/kidstoys/131tren4.html (Some of...

T, Those sparking wind-ups were popular with Marx. They also made sparkling wind-up tanks. I don't have any here. Just a wind-up steamer, the rest are electric. Those little Commodore Vanderbilts are amusing. I have one I sometimes run when I'm douing a show with the club/ Kids don't...

My wife bought me the new Marx Trains 'Thor" locomotive gun carrier - it's a tinplate loco that's loads of fun. You can see the whole shebang, including our test run here: http://www.thortrains.net/thorloco.html She also got me an original Marx (pre-1075) #400 Army steamer and tender. I...
