David and Wyoming: it is indeed a Spectrum 2-8-0. I really like it. I would like to add a decoder to it to get the engine sounds. Thanks for the positive feedback guys. I usually make a different layout each year for Christmas. The past 3 or 4 years I have worked with 0-27 guage and Christmas...

One more pic I hope these will give you an idea of the layout. It was a three month project and finished just before Thanksgiving.

Couple More Pics Sorry for the quality of the pics. They were taken with a 35 mm camera. If someone could tell me how to downsize them they may be clearer. Hop you folks enjoy them.

Sone more photos The pictures could have been better, but they were taken with a 35mm camera. Hope you guys enjoy.

This is a layout that I did for Christmas. I wanted the train to be on the way to the North Pole. Not leaving anyplace in particular and not arrived yet. I also wanted Santa to be visiting the animals in the mountains.

This particular thread hit a nerve. My son has served three tours in Iraq. He served a tour in Afanghistan. He is now in his fourth tour in Iraq. He is in the 82nd Airbourne from Fort Bragg, North Carolina. It is difficult every time you send your son. He says this is what he does. This is what...

Im: The best advice you will get is do what ever feels right. By this I mean do you want to create something that is true to a prototype [ recreate an actual line] or freelance [ something that is fun ]. I created a journey to the North Pole this year. It is just a mountain scene. I added a...

I am new to the smaller scales also. I had to decide between the N and Z scales. I chose the N for several reasons: It is easier to build layouts for the N scale. No matter how much you think that this is a casual hobby this REASON will be the most appreciated advice you will get. It is MUCH...

Well I have already gotten my Christmas gift this year. I got to switch from O scale to N scale. I got a spectrum 2-8-0set plus several trussels and a Kato Switch out 1 set. Go Noles

Actually I hope this is a good weekend to work on my layout. I am building a mountain layout that is a cross between the Glenwood Canyon, CO and the typical mountain scene that you will find in the PA mountains. It will include lakes, animals, and scenery set in the Winter at Christmas Time...

I happened by my local hobby store the other day and bought the issue. You are correct. it is an excellent issue. It is the best one they have done in quite some time.

I am originally from Panama City and grew up there. The pictures looks an awful lot like St. Andrews State Park off thomas drive in PC. As a couple of you guys stated it could be anywhere along the Gulf Coast from Tallahassee to Pensacola. It looks good. Sometimes the simplest looks better and...

drew: Here in middle Georgia there is a styrofoam manufactorer. When styrofoam is produced it comes out in 8 ft x 8 ft x 16 ft blocks. For the past 4 years, I have used 1" sheets on carpet for my O guage trains and village. It covered the entire dining room floor. With styrofaom you can have...

I bought my copy three years ago for about $40.00. I thought it was great buy at that price. It is probably the game that has given me the most enjoyment. You can make it as difficult as you want it to be. Man for $10.00 it is a steal. Just think how many times you spend $10.00 on junk stuff.

Thank you. I appreciate your help. Glenn

Relatively new to The Guage. I was looking for info on PRR F7 diesels. I was referred to the newsletter [I believe March-April]. I don't seem to be able to find it again. Can some guide me to it? Thanks Glenn :confused:

Jodam: They have a website. I believe it is HRTraines.com. You can do a search for H and R Tains and it will come up. They have an extensive library and classes on all aspects of train modeling. They probably have the patterns that you are looking for.

We ahd to have one our dogs [an 11 year old] because of cancer in her neck. She was a very lovable friend, I understand how hard that is. We got a new 'baby" for the other dog. Our dogs are house dogs and an integral part of our family. They go where we go. If they aren't welcome, we don't go...

You can order one for less than $8.00 from H&R Trains in St Pete, Florida. I bought one a few weeks ago when I was in the store. They are really nice and have great quality.
