I use about an inch on each side this allows you enough room to glue cardboard strips or webbing material,allows for a little wiggle room when putting track down in the event you have to move it in or out as you go. I go even wider with switches, enough room to add a ground throw, even if you...

Was working the other night and was down by the tracks, I was a set of lights approaching so decided to see the CN or Cp freight rumble through. As it got closer I noticed that it was not waisting any time, going faster that most freights, and as it got up to me I noticed that the front end was...

There is good and bad news in everything so they say.. well the bad news was received a month ago. The building that we were renting the up stairs for the last 12 years or so was sold. The new owner advised the club that he had not made up his mind as to what he was going to do, but early in...

Kettlestack: with reference to mounting your buildings, there is a few ways of doing this that I use successfully. 1- use a base such as foam core or homosoate, build your building on your base then cut out the same size on your layout and place inside, this way you can change your buildings...
