    I'm Back with a Layout!

    This portion of the layout is mainly meant to be industry and yard operations. I have plans (a ways down the road) that will incorporate another 3'x8' table in an L shape that will have more scenery. For now I wanted to be able to run switches, classify, etc. This layout is going to be...

    I'm Back with a Layout!

    Hello all, First off, I wanted to let everyone know I am back on here. Granted, when I was with you back in September I didn't spend a whole lot of time here, but oh well. I have been spending a majority of time over with the folks at Nscale.org (GREAT nscale site by the way, folks there...

    Which locomotive to get, N scale

    I am a large fan of Kato engines. They look great and from what I have heard (as I don't own any myself) they run nice too. I had an Atlas U25B that could pull like none other, sold it though as it wasn't in the era I wanted to model. I presently have 4 Life-Like locomotives that run very...

    Apartment Layout, what scale is best?

    Found this layout on another website...thought I might be able to start with it and modify it a little to meet my wants. I like the industry feel to it, although I think I would probably make one portion a yard as I would like to have that in my layout...

    Apartment Layout, what scale is best?

    Okay, attached is an image of the maximum amount of space I could dedicate to the layout. I really couldn't pull much more space just for the sake of the fact that it is an apartment, and it will get extremely cramped extremely fast. I think with N-scale and that much room I should be able to...

    Apartment Layout, what scale is best?

    I doubt there are any clubs, but I haven't really looked into it a whole lot. I spose if I really got to thinking about it I could put it in what is now my kitchen/office/dining room area. That would give me probably the same 3' depth but I could make it into an L shape then...I will have to...

    Apartment Layout, what scale is best?

    Okay, so finally got home from work. Measured the space that I have to dedicate to the layout. I will be able to do a 3'x8' table. I won't be able to go to a full fledged 4' wide as it will hit the attic door and prevent it from opening (which isn't good for heater maintenance). As far...

    Apartment Layout, what scale is best?

    I live in a small apartment (a total of 4 rooms including the bathroom). I have always wanted a model railroad but have never had anywhere to put it. I have finally decided that with moving a few things out into storage that I don't need or use that I will have the space to finally do so...
