I'm scoping out part of the Aberdeen Carolina and Western railway as a possible line to model, and I came across a spur track that leads right into the middle of an electrical substaion. Any ideas as to why? Unfortunately there are no cars spotted in the photo, and I see know real loading /...

Some of you may recognize it. I think it's pretty well known. Here is the prototype. . . . .

I keep seeing advertisements for this site, particularly in Model Railroad Hobbyist. But I get some domain manager when I click on the links... Anyone know anything about this site?

Since copyright infringement issues have become much more prevalent in recent years, I have a question I was wondering about. Occasionally, I weather/detail locomotives and rolling stock to match prototype photos and place them on ebay to make a little extra money. Now, if I add the prototype...

This is a screen capture from a youtube video of a young man who loves trains. He films them quite often and is very enthusiastic about it. He sits at this location quite often. I say she's a (^%$* and gives everyone at CSX a bad name. You be the judge. What's she look like shes doing to you?

So I've picked out a track plan, (I think) for my layout. I found it in MRP 2009. It was 6X15 originally, but I split it to fit around the walls of my layout room. Laugh all you want, but I can't for the life of me figure out what to do with the extra space. I know what I want, (Metal...

I've been reading Model Railroader for years now. Since I was a kid, and I've had my share of tabletop "green board" layouts, (My mom even came home from work one evening to an extensive rail network around her kitchen on the counter tops! ...Thanks again, Dad!) but I've just never been able to...
