These are some really good ideas. I also want to add that if you have a small to medium layout or only run couple trains at a time, the Digitrax...
Wow this is a really nice layout I just went through the entire thread staring at the pictures. I love the curves and the benchwork design is...
That looks like a really nice start to a layout. You got plenty of room to add some rolling hills and other scenery. Running trains is the best...
Congrats Congrats on the article! Glad to see more N in MR and your layout puts the best foot forward with your long trains and massive scenery...
Wow that Nickel Plate scheme looks sharp, I can't wait to see the Virginian one. I could be biased though since I'm a Steelers and a Western...
I use gasket cork to create lower sidings and cardboard shims to transition between regular cork roadbed mains. This creates a more realistic...
Not sure where you are but the attic in the houses I've lived in have rodents that like to eat scenery and leave "boulders" along the right a way....
One idea for your photography is using a painted or even blue unpainted foam board as a quick backdrop. You can clamp it to the side, and bam...

This is a little late but I saw this great modular layout from an Onslow Model Railroad Club, a N-Trak Modular Club in Jacksonville, NC, at the...
Try the Peco Turntable. That is a 90 footer, and its easily motorized with a mechano motor. The code 70 track even aligns pretty close with...
I wonder if you can control servos and provide routing with a DPDT switch on the fascia wiring one side to the servo and one to the frog. I...
The con-cor sets while they have older locos, if complete and in good condition are actually worth a good bit of money. There was a Concor...
Easy Peasy is a very nice system. Its simple to install and its easy to use. It takes all of 3 mins to install per car, and I like to use the...
The way I see it is that Tinplate enthusiasts are just rail fans of a different type. While some of us wax nostalgic about prototypes of...
http://www.visi.com/~spookshow/freight/freight.html Spookshow to the rescue again. Its amazing how much N scale information is on his website....
I saw your blog and that is the most inspired urban modelling I've seen in a long time. The LED lighted Kato office buildings complete with an...
That grain silo looks great, I love the subtle weathering. I also love the track arrangement for the switching area. Complex but not...
I love the modelling of a prototype in a small area. Shows that prototypical modeling doesn't need a massive space. I also like the...
That is a seriously good idea I'm gonna have to try that.
