I have a trolley going around in the middel of the town in my HO layout and I am currently starting over on the roads. I am using joint compound for the roads and it is working well. My question is how do i do the turnouts. I aim for the roads/track to be like sanfransico and it's cabelcars...

I really need a camera of my own but don't know what to look for. What are fetures you would recomend for model photography? What brand do you like dislike? I will be mainly useing it to take pictures of my layout. I do not have much money. As of now i use my dad's camera and he is not...

has anyone used the aztec car. I was looking at them but have never heard of anyone useing them. I need some type of cleaning car. I have extensive tunnels and a 3+ foot deep gorge 3+ feet long, 2- inches wide, that is hard to get to the back.

surprisingly enough it is only 3 by 6. it is taller than it is wide

That is the hanging bridge that is about right under the royale gorge suspension bridge. If you are ever in the southern colorado region you can either ride the train, raft the arkansas river, or go down the incline railway in the royale gorge park to see it.

different voltage and amps. the hornby is meant for a 220v controller at half the amperage.

I didn't even know they had elastic stuff like that. will diffenently try that. And for some odd reason i didn't even think of CA. I use it all the time for other things

how do you get the thread (wires) going from pole to pole stuck on the pole. Do you tie the thread, glue it on. I fiddled with it for hours and couldn't get it to work well

been i while. I never said how the mold a scene works. It is very strange. It is kind of like building with sand at first, difficult and alot falls away. but then it started to get better as it was worked. It really wasn't good for what i am doing but for some applications it could work...

I can't figure why this piece of track keeps derailing all of my locos. It is a piece of sectional curve, on a flat spot in the layout and it keeps derailing all of my locos. there is nothing obstructing or close to the track that would cause it to derail and it is in gauge.

is there anyway to shim a turnout that is already laid. I have noticed it is tilted fairly badly and the trains have been having some difficulty on it. It is not ballisted yet

I have never seen someone use a projector like that. very cool

If I were going to do this, what would be the best way to construct the moduals. How are modulars normaly bolted together. Would i just do this on all 4 sides?

The idea is not realism it is more of a creative, almost cartoonish thing. I was thinking i might even have each modual be a little history lesson. With scenes from all eras. I was hoping to get in to some animation with it also. I am pretty good with that sort of stuff. Mabey I could even...

I was thinking about doing something other than my main layout. I want small , indepndent scenes that can have a train run in a loop but i thought it would also be neat if I hook them together to make a larger layout. This would be a real good chance to get creative. So what do you think of...

So what is that mach 2 scale speed. I would do the same thing if i had 12 foot radius curves.

Those are some big people

I use everything. Pencill to get a general idea. 3D railroad to refine it and to make shure the plan will work, gradeints and such. And then i lay the track out to make sure everything looks good in the real world.

Neat video segment. You know they did have top gear in the usa. I loved it but they stoped showing it. How much is 200 pounds in us dollars
