Choosing scales was actually the hardest thing for me to do for awhile. HO scale is the perfect size to me, perspective wise,not too big nor too...
Atlas custom line turnout frogs are isolated,even their metal frogs on their code 83's. I've used these turnouts with no problems with DCC.
It's been two days since I started on the new layout. The older benchwork was comprised of 1.5x5 foot modules,each on legs. I'm going to remove...
Well... I was designing a single level N scale 13x15 foot layout. Then the nolix bug hit me after reading about other layouts using them. Since...
I could move that crossover that is currently at the top right to the coal junction, making a double crossover there, so that way the through...
There is a duckunder near the bottom left of the layout. The benchwork (which is already built except the peninsula) is 55 inches high so ducking...
Rick, I'm curious to see your track plan and benchwork. Is it the G shaped? 120 feet of mainline especially in N scale is a lot of running. I...
Thanks anyway. I figured I'd find someone here that does routeen(spelled wrong) posting of pics and ask them for posting it. What I should do is...
Colonel, thanks for posting this pic....
Try the Railroad Line Forums. I've never heard of it until last week. It looks like a sister of Atlas as far as the format goes.
I just bought a Super empire builder and my HO Atlas dual-mode decoders(#340) makes a small "electrical" noise when the throttle is just turned...
Tried to log on to Atlas forums and it's slow again. Takes forever to go on a topic. I think they need a new server or something as this is a...
The two bay engine house looks really cool.
A nolix would also make a nice helper district whereas a helix won't.
The six axle would be cool looking with the nose cut off. Maybe a good kitbashing project. Can call it a SS- 2000(super- switcher).
I plan on making two larger industries rather than several small ones. A coal mine and a papermill. The mill cause it can handle a variety of...
I just got an idea for a double deck continuosly running layout. It would probably be a pain to design and to build, but I thought about having...
Is your "nolix" going to be going around a mountain? I'm thinking about having one also.
Cutting the nose off is a must.
Whether or not Athearn makes this for N scale, that THING will never be on my layout. I guess I'll stick with a GP38 as a "modern switcher".
