    Two layer roomful

    I was wondering if anyone has any pictures of the HO scale layout, "Two Layer Roomful". I am set on doing this but I wanted to see if anyone had attempted it before. BTW: the track plan is in the book "Model Railroad Track Plan Book" by John Armstrong, page 152-155. The book was published in...

    Track questions

    D&RGW photos/maps

    Thanks! I checked out your virtual layout tour post, and it gave me inspiration. I'm thinking of doing, still, the 70's-90's era, set in Denver-Colo. Springs, with some switching here and there around Denver. It's still in the works, though! Thanks for the suggestion, i'll have to check that...

    Hey, I was just wondering if anyone had any DRGW photos or maps, particularly of the Colorado area, from the 70's-90's as I really need these, going to model it but I can't find anything very good. Sorry if this is in the wrong section, I thought I might try here first :D. So if you can help...

    Can someone design a track plan for me?

    I stink at track planning and I was wondering if anyone could design a plan for me. It will be a shelf layout/around the wall so I can still have the bed and things in it. The room is 10x11 room and I wanted it to be double main line, with a bit of switching. There is a sliding closet and a...

    Help with Terminal Joiners

    I need a bit of help wiring. I got 2 terminal joiners to put after my turnout so my DC engine would run after it passes over the frog. Even though i've tried to rewire it, the train still stops. Is there anything I might be able to do to fix that?:confused:

Right now, i'm using DC :mad: but i do hope to switch to DCC later on :D Anyways, that kind of it for now, I'm going to go ask for help now. Hope to...
