Hi all, after almost a decade modelling in N scale I'm considering returning to HO. I've been mulling over some layout plans, looking for a switching trackplan...
My impression is that this is a very "dense track" design, so you will just have small areas on the baseboard, plus the backdrop, to suggest locale - ground...
Hi John, thanks for the feedback. When I thought New England and urban what came in mind was MR magazine's depiction of the Pioneer Valley RR and the mental...
By 9000 Km away, I assume you mean you're in the UK? One thing to keep in mind is that New England (on one hand) changed greatly after World War II, losing...

Thanks Jack, however I'm limited to a space of up to 1m wide x 2.4m long along a wall. The only way the C&C could fit would be by "unwrapping" it along the...
Eh John, I wish I lived in the UK! No, I'm 9000Km south - in Brazil, that is. I'm one of the very few NE fans round here, most of the folks who model American...
Was there at one time a trackplan scheme where the line followed the shape of a paperclip? I recall corresponding with someone years back and they sent me a...

I have just uploaded a quick sketch plan of my present small layout based on two 4ft 6" x 1ft Baseboards in N gauge or 2mm scale. The plan is a "might have...
Nicholas: I am going to build the Iron Mountain Line in N-scale. I think it has great possibilities in it's original form, as drawn by E.S. Seeley, Jr. for...

I'm looking into building a small switching layout in HOn3 but can't seem to find any reports of "operating" switching layouts in this guage/scale. Can anyone...
I’m a longtime Hon3er and was a member of the Slim Gauge Guild in Pasadena, which in the late 1960s had an early switching layout before it built its big...
I was curious to see how much compression would be required to fit a 4mm scale variant on the same boards. I have uploaded an image to the same directory. The...

David, After making my original post, I thought about it and decided to ask if the motive power had to be steam? If not, I would recommend that you check with...
What a great site. When at university in Liverpool in the late 1980s I spent a day trying to find the remains of Crown Street Yeard, and I remember not being...
I couldn't resist doing one more to fit on the two 4'6" x 1' boards, but for electric traction. Actually I tweaked them out to 14" wide to fit some extra...
