    It's been a long time coming but finally I have started my first real N Scale layout. I didn't want to mess with flex track so the whole thing is Kato Unitrack.

    Bend Track Beginning in N Scale

    OK so I'm beginning to move ahead. I will probably never use my modules though with a club or other bend trackers as I haven't seen any interest here in the state of Mass. I decided to use hollow core doors as my base. I will keep the original 48" height and use the track spacing as laid out...

    Starting Over in N Scale

    Hi all, I'm starting over in N Scale as I used to model in HO. I really don't have the room for HO. I have a small room 10'x16'. I plan on using Kato Unitrack, I know it's expensive, but it's bullet proof. Does anyone know where I can get Unitrack plans aside from the Kato website (very...

    Layout Ideas

    Finally the Layout is moving along!

    Just wanted to share my latest layout pictures. I'm finally laying track. It's been a long time coming about 3 years now. I had to rebuild the main lift bridge because I couldn't get the angles quite right for lifting, the track was alway binding. For bench work I'm using a plywood base over a...

    Which HO Track do you use a majority of?

    Just curious to find out with all the new track options what the majority is using. To many choices. I still choose Code 100 because of the old Rivarossi engines in my collection. Those big flanges need some place to go! Besides with good weathering it really looks good. Comments? You can...

    Turntables

    Hi, I'd like to build a turntable from scratch to fit my layout needs, but haven't got a clue how to start. I know there are many manufactured turntables, but I need to make mine a different size to fit part of my engine facility. Any ideas would be appreciated.
