    New Train Building

    The 10x25 train room along with a 10x10 hobby room. Would both be insulated and climate controlled. The rest of the bldg will be for a '31 Model-A & Harley parking plus parts storage.

    Atlas Code 55 turn-out shortage?!?

    Atlas Shay, Still made?

    I've checked the Atlas site and sent them an email asking about the Shay's. Atlas had a forum at one time but is closed down now for any new messages. Old messages are still available for research and I found a thread dated 2012 asking about the same as I am. I also checked the Brooklyn Loco...
