Dear Skip, Unfortunately no pics of the incident, but the basic story goes... - 6-module layout, 2 modules in the back of a 4X4, 4 modules in a double deck...

Bruce, close ... but no cigar. You should have said " Et toi aussi". Let's have one for Her Majesty visiting Canada. Back to railroading, Last year I toured...
HM was just her in Halifax where she did a fleet review in celebration of the Canadian Navy's 100th anniversary. She also made a dedication to The HMCS...
Eric, I'm afraid to tell you that a 2x3 feet space is barely enough to have a minimalist oval with 1 industrial spur even IN N SCALE ( half the size of HO...
Merci, Jacques. I appreciate it. I figured that it would be too small. I was only fishing to see if there were any creative minds that may have found some...
You may not have to go to N scale. You can always look at HOn30. It uses N gauge (9mm) track, with slightly different tie/sleeper spacing, but the rest,...
Dear Eric, Jacques, I agree in principle with Jacques. Given the accepted "18" safe radii" for most HO equipment, a 3' X 3' square will have a 'minimum 18"...
Hello all, On my personal railroad, the Whiskey River Railway, I am in the process of getting all my rolling stock and locos ready for the paint shop. Here...
James, I agree 100% with you, but Eric never mentioned narrow gauge ( maybe it's because he is unaware of such a scale/gauge combination ). As a matter of fact...
Dear James, Eric, Yes, HOn30 is another option. Using HO scale bodies and scenery/structures, but utilising the accepted minimum 9" radii of N gauge, you're...
... Tyler: I think the pad printing the manufacturers use is much more sophisticated than a simple rubber stamp. I would be concerned with the sharpness of...
You can do Gn15, fer heeven's sake, in that space. Challenge for me was design; I couldn't shed the "western" ide of looong trains! JR, <G> ... [Non-text...
I hope , with all those ( wise ) replies Eric is not more confused that he was when starting that thread lol. So let's give him some time to digest all those...
LOL. Not at all. I appreciate all the feedback. I really can be a little more flexible on the sizing, but I figured that if I gave the absolute smallest...
Thanx a lot! There's a lot of very helpful info in there. I opened the links that you provided and I am going to take some notes. I really appreciate it....
That is actually one of the options that I was considering as well - another gauge - like Gn15 or HOn30. I am building it for my nephew's birthday, so I have...
I am thinking that I may need to do just that. I appreciate it. I really can go a little bigger; but I was trying to see what the minimum that people had...
I had never heard of Belgian metric, so I looked it up. Learn something new everyday. Lol. I am actually considering converting a few of my stock to a...
That was actually one of the other options that I was thinking about, if I needed to go that way. I was just fishing to see if anyone had come up with a...
Thanx Jon. Those links were helpful. Looking at all those layout plans helped me to think outside the box a little. Maybe they will spur a little creative...
Hello All: I went and bought the extruded styrofoam for the new layout yesterday, and if I have some time this afternoon before the sun goes down (about 5pm)...
Jacques: My Mini-Trains set runs greatI can get it to go through some very tight Shinohara turnouts with out difficulty, it also negotiated Atlas N scale...
I haven't been following all this "religiously", so I might repeat or contradict previous ideas. The length of cars and engines is what governs curve radius....
Eric and all While this layout in not 2'x3' http:/vimeo.com/9561564 (each of the three pieces is 16"x3') the left module could easily be made a closed loop...
