Chad, Thanks again for the tour of your layout. It's impressive, alot of work to have it going. Gave me a spark to get more done. Thanks Ken L...
I second Ken's post. Chad's layout is a nice trip back in time. You are able to look at a scene and know where on the Monon you are. I was also impressed...

Chad's layout is quite an accomplishment, for sure. Very inspirational! It was fun to visit it in the company of so many Monon fans, who are rare in my...

Thanks for all the nice words. I know I need to do some more work, but it has been a long haul getting it this far. I want to make sure the track is good...
Chad, Ballast does change things. You are essentially adding small rocks and glue which can gum things up! Go easy on both in the switches. Painting track...
I tried these resin rivets on decal paper and am very impressed. I was adding necessary rivets my scraping them from a styrene donor model and applying them...

Try two little squirts of WD-40 on your switchpoints before ballasting, one squirt on each point rail. It works great, believe it or not. Does not interfere...

Chad, I'm pretty sure from photos that the former hospital cars had truck mounted brake cylinders by the time you are modeling. Actually, I was not aware that...
Which of these cars made it into red and gray paint? #17, #18, #610 and #611 #17 and #18 had clearstory roofs and 3 windows. There is a picture in Monon in...
