Mr. Hardy: Thanks for the quick reply. I actually had thougt of that but I figured that was just a lot of work having to unhook all the time during the puzzle...
The first roadway has been completed on the layout, it runs from the lumberstorage siding to the fuel company lot. Using an article I found a long time ago in...
Hi! Mark. I don't think Radio Shack magnets will work, unfortunately. Most magnetic coupling systems, like Micro-Trains use couplers that need a magnet that...
I use a whole bunch of Radio Shack magnets for decoupling on my N-scale layout. I use the magnets in pairs, mounted below the ties in the roadbed. The...
Mark, I built the 1X3 for a friend and it did have room for a 4-2-2 game. and 8 buildings on the 3-lead end and a mountain gap on the engine-single car...
<<One other variation on Minories I've seen was to add a middle release road between the facing platforms on the original - there was a very nice O Gauge SR...
Thanks everyone for your input on Minories layouts. I enjoyed reading all the posts. It's difficult to get info like this in America because the focus of...
hi i just joined because i received a comment about my layout. i built it in about 4 months and it was in expensive and easy to build. i made up the scenery...
I just watched an episope of Star Trek and don't know why it didn't occur to me before. But, how cool would a holodeck be? I think i'd move to 12":1' scale :) ...
Thank you guys for your replies. I laid out the N Scale EZ Track last night and if I use the 40' Reefers that I have then it will be a 4' x 1' display....
Craig - 22 gauge wire is not too heavy. It,in the form of magnet wire, is even used in coil winding. In any event, the main purpose of this thread is to point...

Welcome to the group. I am the guy who wrote you about you layout. on't forget to visit the file section and see the layouts everyone designed. I hope you...
... Oddly enough I think I'd stick to scale model railroads. To me the idea of a holodeck just means more space for a layout which means I can model, in scale,...
nycsteamer and group: Layout looks like fun to operate. Good job. The talk about Inglenooks inspired me to share mine with the group. The photos are posted...
looks good...the trackplan, from what I could see in the video, looks like one called "The Northwest Terminal" in the Kalmbach Book "Model Railroading in...
... Heh ... I'd think that the shrinking process from "Fantastic Voyage" would be far more useful for most of us :-) -Len...

Mark, I built an EZ Track Inglenook layout and used Bachmann under track magnetics. No complaints about either. I have to take my current dogbone layout...
VERY nice. I particularly enjoyed the smooth, slow speed operation. Please keep up the good work and please keep posting records of your efforts! You show...
Generally, you want heavy gauge wire and to keep it short so that the voltage is not "wasted" in the wiring. If the wiring is able to reduce the current to...

I'm not waiting for holodecks; I've already waited long enough. It has taken 40 years for technology to catch up with my ideas for the dream layout, but now I...
AMAZING !!!! I love the idea of incorporating a layout and a piece of furniture anyway. I'm working on converting my drafting table to a layout on the back...
Waterloo -- now that would be a layout! -- and would require a commensurate fiddle yard to boot! I was stationed in London in 2001-2002 and saw only a ghost of...
... You should have seen Clapham Junction. The lines out of Waterloo intesecting with (most of) the lines out of Victoria as well as the West London line. The...

I think the most fascinating part of my project is the furniture itself. Originally, I had asked the sculptor if he knew anyone who could build a simple coffee...
I’d like an N Scale waterfront layout incorporating a fishing wharf and a beachfront area for swimming and recreational boating. There would also be an...
