Na, I will be using Proto87 hand laid track. I found a layout today featured in Railmodel Journal, October 05' issue page 41. I like the set up of this layout for the top level but the yard has a couple issue's. So if I could take your yard idea and incorporate it into this design then I think...

I get things cleaned up a bit and take some pictures. I have to finish hanging dry wall on my sie of the newly installed wall. The reason for a grade is for some chanlenge. At our club layout and module layout's both... Well, put it this way. There's not such thing as a grade. It's all one...

HO, by far.

Well, the idea is a P2P operational switching layout with a yard. No loops to complete a continuous run. Just dead end stubs. I don't have to have the top level 3 feet wide but I guess I could compremise as long as I could still fit in the yard that I mentioned. Here's a starting drawing. I put...

I'll post the drawing in the morning as soon as I can.

Wow. ::jaw drop:: I hate to say it but sheesh! I could have shot a horse and got better results than this thread that got WAY off topic pretty much after the first couple post's. Mason, I'm still running around with my head cut off in terms of what to do. I came across one layout design that one...

For a car like that, I would strongly recommend Kato 70 or 100 ton roller bearing trucks (not sure which type this car used). Those truck would make it an excellent model in the long run. Sense it's brass I'm not sure if your going to run it or keep it on a shelf in a case but if on a shelf is...

Well, I have a UP 200 ton crane, not sure who the maker is but it does have brass pulleys so I know it's not one of the cheaper models. Then I have two IT flat cars from P2K, a RailGon gondola, also don't know who the maker is but wish I could find more of them in this road. One day I hope to...

Well, one thing is for sure and I've seen it for myself. Some HO items are cheaper than N scale. HO is about the cheapest way to go. The smaller or larger you go the more the cost. Don't ask me why this is because it still puzzles me. I like HO becuse like everyone is saying, you can get just...

I went to Home Depot in search of an idea like this and came up with a really cheap ay to make manual switch throw rod's. I bought two full circle "eye let's" with pointed self tapping ends. You will need two eye's per swich rod. Now the thing to do first would go find the wood dowels. Pick a...

Your best bet would be to look into Kribri. They carry the biggest cranes in HO. I have 2 so far each at a cost of almost $200 each but I was lucky to et a discount down around $80 each. They are great kits and well worth it. If they don't have what your ooking for then you'll just have to...

Lookie here. I found out the hotel we are staying in has free internet access. woot! Well, I gotta get to work but I'll post about some thing's I have seen the past few days.

Well, yesterday was ust a pretrip but I'm leaving this morning to drive all the way to Eldarado, AR. From there I have no idea where's next but if I have the time and money I will try and find a computer with internet access somewhere such as a truck stop. I'm taking a bag full of MR, MJ etc...

Well, I went and picked up a few last minute traveling supplies but forgot to buy a camera. D**N! Oh well, I'll try to get one if I can swing it but I only have $41 to make it through the month until my first check. I sure am glad they pay for all the grub. Well I'll check back once more before...

Well, I should be in a Hotel room by then after I get off work so hopefully I don't miss it. I'm in the CTZ but not sure do to me not knowing where my job will send me first.

I would have taken it back. RTR meaning you shouldn't have to do anything to it except you own extra detailing. If it came in piece's then something isn't right. Just my $.02 worth.

Well, guy's, I finally got another job today but I think to my fiance it didn't come to reality until this morning. She is devastated by the fact that I will be leaving out Monday morning for my first day and I won't be back home until some time in November. The company I am going to work for is...

Mold's are an pretty simple if you understand the concept but over all is much cheaper than $20 a container. Here's a link to where you can get resin castin mold supply's.http://www.ares-server.com/Ares/Ares.asp?MerchantID=RET01229&Action=Catalog&Type=Department&ID=64...

Here's an old link to a thread I posted a long time ago on a truck I built from a couple of Boley toy trucks. http://www.the-gauge.com/showthread.php?t=16707&highlight=custom+truck+large+car It was damaged when I moved but I do plan on rebuilding it one day when I get around to it.
