    Connecting together modular layouts

    I'm about 1/2 way through my first "practice" layout (1'x6'). I'm sticking with modular / shelf type layouts until I can take over the basement (wife says 8 more years :) ... Plus I like the concept of building small sections that are detachable and portable in case I move. I've done much...

    Laying cork stips in turnouts

    I'm in the process of laying down cork strips for my roadbed. Does anyone have a simple technique/trick that allows for clean/crisp fit of cork roadbed under turnouts. I find I'm either losing the bevel or having to guess where to cut. Many thanks in advance. Eric

    My newest attempt at a 4x8 HO layout

    First of all, thanks for all the advice regarding my first attempt that, in retrospect, missed the mark completely. I feel that I have learned much since then. This layout features a large yard and yard lead that are completely off the mainline. I exchanged the roundhouse for a 2-stall...
