New New Mexico N Scale Club

Wow thanks BC , me too !!!!!!!!
We will test run some locomotives this weekend in anticipation !!!!!!

Mike

 

Thanks but I get pretty slow once the scenry starts. This layout is intended to be pretty generic with scenery as we have guys who model all parts of the US and roads and we do not want to exclude anyone.
There will be a mountain at the 6" elevation but the rest is up in the air (so to speak). One member wants to do a Union Terminal on a leg off the main.

Thanks , Mike

 

Thanks BC , we are pretty pleased with the progress. We will never be a prototype big club but we DO HAVE FUN.

Mike

 

Well, we are making great progress so far and the county is now in charge of the grounds. It seems as though the county will do some exterior repairs to the building and help us as they are able.

I would like to take a moment and thank all of the people who have contributed funds and products to our layout.

Thanks Robert and BC , we are really having fun with it.

Looking good Mike !! I love all the real estate you guys have to work with. Lots of track and nothing looks crowded. I am envious of all those long sweeping curves too.

 

What is it with New Mexico and N scale? You have two major model RR e-tailers in the state, and both of them specialize in N...Maybe it's because the state's name begins with "N?"

 

Thanks George, we have loots of spce and not many members to build in them.

Mike

 

Oh !!!!! You figured us out !!!!!

LOL

Mike

 

That sounds cool!
Us with only 6 members and 0nly a couple with the track laying skills we went with Unitrack. We would have still been laying 200 feet of yard track !!!!!
We actually could have had the other half of the building but for the few of us it wa too big an undertaking. We may wind up with it anyway for storage.

LOL
Mike

 

Awesome stuff Mike! and the GN pax run made my eyes water !!!!! ( musta been the dust )
