Gotta be NCL
If we're cramming in stuff adjacent to BRC South Chicago I'd go for the 95th St bridge, with airborne 1974 Dodge [MEDIA]
Took a crack at this in XTrackCAD. Reckon you can fit darn near the whole prototype into a two-level layout. If you decide to build something...
I would suggest you pick a slope that's realistic for where you're imagining the railroad to be, then let that determine the height. For example,...
Nothing helpful to add, just wanted to post that this is a sick layout and your progress is inspiring.
Route 66 in Texas has the sort of jogs you're envisioning. See Adrian, Wildorado, or Groom. Usually the town was platted out leaving room for...
Revised plan: [IMG] Added runaround capability within the yard. Yard has more and longer tracks. Spur within the right loop, which was...
I'm actually jealous of your 80's-era Kato bridge boxes. Way cool, and will snap right into any new Kato bridges if you want to expand.
Rapidos ("strange triangle shaped bars") are bulletproof. I run a lot of Japanese stuff and they don't use knuckles, it's either Rapidos or a...
Like the two curved bridges. Looks like two competing roads side by side. Especially like the deck girder abutments. You got rock on the upper...
Current track plan. Comments / criticisms / diss tracks welcome. [IMG]
Newton's first law. Your train wants to go straight. The curve track and the switch force it one way or the other. When you put a switch after a...
That building looks fantastic. Most layouts in Japan are still DC so you shouldn't feel bad about holding off on decoders. I see a lot of Kato...
Planning and build thread for my "intermediate term" N layout. This is the dining room of a 95-year-old "fixer upper" house I am slowly...
1:150, 1:160, or 1:144 depending on what trains are operating... Looks pretty solid. How good is that printer (Ender 3 Pro) with small details?...
Bumping this thread because after buying a fixer upper and completing several million home improvement projects I’m finally building a train...
I've got a whole bunch of Peco Code 80 turnouts that I've never powered, because you can flick them and the integral spring holds them in place....
Scenic Ridge is a folded dogbone with an at-grade crossing. Any other folded dogbone layout could thus be considered an "improvement" or "mod"...
