Thanks for the reply. I expanded the layout to 3x5 to allow 13" on the outside and 11" on the inside. As for DCC, I've considered many times but it doesn't seem to be as cost efficient. I have a power pack and a loco, so as far as I can tell I need to add another one of each. Which would...

opps I forgot to mention that in the middle of the big green void is where I plan to put a road with stores/buildings, some type of small town

After quite some time researching, planning, reading etc etc I think I've come up with a draft for my layout. It'll be a 3x4, N scale. The intent is for a GO train (Athern Bombardier coaches) to run on the outside track, with a 11" radius. On the inner 9 3/4 track will run the freight, with...

I don't suppose you know what shade you thinking about? I had a look at their website and didn't see at least from the screen seemed to match

I want to repaint for myself a loco in GO Transit colours - so does anyone know what would be the best matches to their green, white and yellow trim? Thanks

I didn't get any photos of it, but when on a layout tour recently on of the layouts had a police car setup behind a convertible in a secluded part of the woods with the officer approaching to find a couple......ummm occupying......the back seat. Very well done, probably looks better then I've...

The only one in town is open 3 days a week for about 4 hours, but its run out of the owners garage so obviously a part time gig. The next closest is open Tues-Sat 9-5, except Fridays when they are open until 8pm. Its only 20 min away so I can't complain too much since I technically have 2...

I would have to agree. While I haven't got started on my first layout yet, I have been on these forums picking up tips from those with the experience for when I can get started. One thing for sure, you want the blue or pink foam insulation board not only under your layout but for use for...

If you are looking for a store to take them into, maybe Modellers Choice on Upper James or Paris Junction in Paris.

looks good - nice to see photos of smaller layouts as that's what I'm in the planning stages of designing! keep it up!

thanks for the info!

I picked this up at a train show. After doing some research the road never really had diesels before being incorporated by CN. Canadian Northern 8406. Can anyone shed any light on the road and the loco itself? I'm assuming that it was painted for someone's custom road.

It was too good to be true - they only accept orders to be delivered within the US, no international deliveries i.e. Canada. :(

I found this link that I found useful, it lists industries in different regions, the railways that serviced them and the era's they belonged. All includes what commodtities where used by that industry. http://www.opsig.org/industrydb/ I think either a power plant or a coal flood loader...
