Hey Charlie, Thats about the best thing you can do with those model power kits, Chop'em up and make something good out of them!!!:eek:

At least you guy's have hobby shops. The closest one to me is about a hour drive, so I mail order most every thing. The only time I go to the hobby shop is when I am in the area.:eek:

I don't know, the ground throws may not be needed but they sure make it more realistic looking. I'm planing to use them on mine needed or not. I like the Caboose Hobbies ones with the target plates on them, you can tell which way your switch is directing by just a glance!:eek:

Superb photo Shamus, but I would'nt expect anything but that from you!:eek:

Hear ya there Charlie, my interfers with just about every aspect of my life.:eek:

Hey Charlie, I just can't stand to see an empty space like that! Your going to have to fill it up.:eek:

Congrat's N gauger, Now that your moderator you can take all the vacation time you want!:eek:

Javier, On the N scale layout is that control panel custom made? It looks great!! And the reason N scalers are so slow is that it takes them awhile to focus thier eyes on all those tiny trains!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1:eek:

Charlie, I like the shadow of the tree on the box car! Very realistic.:eek:

Mikey, If you put that logo on the sides of that car you really will have something that will hurt your eyes!!!:eek:

Paul, Mike is correct, the double crossover would be cheaper unless you want to enter and exit on oppisite sides of the oval!Then you would have to use 4 turnouts or 2 double crossovers.

Javier, You got an engine and some track your of to a good start.:eek:

Rivarossi is known for that. If you notice thier newest adds they specify which code track they will run on.:eek:

pictures Planeshavings, Know what you mean about pictures. I've been putting this layout together for about 2 1/2 years now and I don't have one picture, heck Idon't even have a camera. Dos'nt matter much though because even if I did I would'nt have a clue how to get them here!!:eek:

Mrgooch, I like the farm, but don't the trains keep the cows up all night??????????:eek:

command 2000 Planeshavings, I ended up with the MRC Command 2000. I got it for about half the original price so thats why I chose it. All the wiring instructions come with it and also the programing instructions. It has to be pretty simple to use because I got mine running!!! The wiring is...
