    What's happening on your layout?

    So I finally got my framework and foam baseboard delivered and yes painted. I did speak with a couple people, and yes watched you tube, who had differing opinions on even painting the base but I went ahead and did it as I felt with my limited craftsmanship it would hide scenery errors and make...

    What's happening on your layout?

    Framework painted i amStill waiting for the delivery of my foam for the baseboard on thursday but laid out track plan in case I found something wrong. I ordered a couple replacement switches as the old ones from 40 years ago just would not work reliably. But I also ordered a roll of woodland...

    I am the farthest thing from a perfectionist, but my head wont allow me to keep it plain

    What's happening on your layout?

    Well. I should be painting the framework, but instead im out sitting on the deck, drinking a coffee and entertaining the dog. I am going to paint the framework Tate olive I think and the baseboard French press or pashmina. I have not decided the actual season but am leaning towards late fall or...

    Layout heights

    I thought i had posted this before, but can not find the question. So ill ask again. I have finally come up with my 36x80 n scale track plan and have the bench work done except for permanently attaching the legs. Due to a slight miscalculation, the top of the layout is sitting at 39.75 inches...

    Pro tips welcome

    So after trial and errors over the last number of months I think I have a 36x80 n scale layout 3/4 worked out. This is obviously not designed after anything. My sole purpose for it was to run track, have a small yard, and to be able to do some switching and just do some scenery. The industry...

    work in progress

    I had done the curves as it sort of made sense when I was reading that if the track was straight, it did not provide variation for the eye. But definitely do not want derailment issues

    work in progress

    so just work in progress. 36x80 n scale. black is road and houses. blue is river and pond. I think I have too many industries. the #5 spot is not really an industry, just a spur I put in just because. I can lose it. the 4 small footprint industries I was thinking are a feed mill #1 grain...

    I can get around my 36". it is sort of stuck in a corner, but not against a wall.

    small space, multi level

    So, been absent a while. But not idle. I have just been learning track work, and why things don't run like they are supposed to . Not saying I have it all figured out yet. But still learning. Anyway. Now that I have been looking at layout designs, and trying to figure out what I want to do. I...

    Dumb it down for me

    Ok. So i have been running my little layout now. Leaning about power(strange things happened but fixed for no apparent reason). Switches. How my yard does not work with my vision. But what I am really frustrated with right now is manual uncoupling. I have the tool from micro trains and figured...

    What's happening on your layout?

    As I am in the learning curve, I have been struggling with getting 40yo turnouts to work properly and after a few hours of head scratching and swearing I have come to the conclusion that they just need replacing. I guess the electric relays are probably just corroded. Just be manual switches I...
