I'll do the hardware if you do the software.
Give it a try russ, When I started building my layout I wasn't sure if I wanted to try building my own turnouts. I decided to try making a test...
Not unless you live in a high rise appartment and want to take photos of trains within a 25 mile radius.
Well hank, I'm a beginner machinest. Bought myslef a lathe for christmas. Maybe once I've aquired the nessisary skill I'll try and make your...
I second pete on the atlas flex track. The price vs quality just can't be beat (for code 83 in HO). I've not really looked at the turnouts as I...
It all depends on what you need it for though. I only ever use my didgital camera for posting pictures on the internet so a 1MP camara would be...
I just happend to be christmas shopping in a local "big box" home hardware store. And what should I see but misic wire in variety sorts of sizes...
There shouldn't be any other trains conected to the same power pack so it won't cause a problem. Each train needs to have it's own separate power...

Everything looks good to me. Only 1 suggestions. #1 Make those SPST switches into SPDT or SP3T. That way if you decide to add an extra cab...

Just throw a couple of place names together even if the railroad doesn't go there. Here in Edmonton at the turn of the century there was a...
My start in model railroading started in fire nd destruction. I almost died! Well not quite but it makes the story sound better. It was when I...
Most of that track around the outside is too close to the wall to have ANY scenery behind it. I'd move at lest the mojority of it from the wall at...
Most "modern" coal mines are of the giant open pit variety. I have some pictures of an oil sands mine but it would be almost impossible to build...
Well actually they're not that hard to build. This was my first attempt at handlaying ANY track so I think it's turned out quite well. It...
I bought a digital camera today so I thought I'd share a few pictures of the track I've been laying/turnouts I've been doing....
Paul, You do know there is no H before the O in O scale right? A model with that much detail just can't be 1:87 :D 12 days is pretty good!...
I would really consider having manually controled turnouts using push rods. I think there was a good example in MR and issue or two ago (I just...
