Hello All! Some may be aware of me from previous groups, LOL. A British railfan from Monrovia, CA, I am interested in the railroads and railways of So. Cal. I...
Hi,all; A quick intro, my name is Michael Bishop and I have been modeling for about 40 years mostly in N scale. I am working on a 1950 Santa Fe moduler layout....
I've just joined your group. I live in West Glouestershire in the UK. I have been modelling the Santa Fe 1945-55 for 25 years. My layout features a roughly 3/4...
I've noticed from some of the message posts that a few people may have missed the main purpose of this group. This group is not about modeling Southern...
Does anyone know if the persons below still have home layouts? Most of these folks were on the layout tour program for the 1996 NMRA Convention in Long Beach....
Jeff, You are not alone in feeling this way. I too have been suffering from lack of layout, (and lack of permanent living space, although that is another...
Bob Wagner's O Scale layout was dismantled about 3 years ago by his son, with the help of members of the Citrus Empire O Scale group. Bob had developed memory ...
Hi Bob, I haven't met him in person yet, but Josef Lesser is the Vice President of the Los Angeles Railroad Heritage Foundation. Here is the address for their...
Michael, Thanks for the suggestion of Los Angeles Junction Railway. As long as I can build it when SP wasn't a fallen flag, I think it's worth investigating!...

I must echo Paul's comments. I have built about 15 layouts. I have had two double car garage layouts. One was 19 by 20 and the other was 24 by 24. I had a...
But lets hear it for big layouts too! I have a different approach. I have been building a largish layout in part of my 3-car garage for years -- O Scale based...
Paul, Yes. It dries very hard and is hard to work with. Plain old patching plaster works best for me. Darryl Huffman Anchorage, Alaska Don't forget to check...
I believe the layout Harvey Robinson had on the tour and had in RMC was dismantled. I don't know if he built a new one. He's a friend of Bob Smaus, so if...
