Very busy day today. Just wanted to drop in real quick & I find all these warm welcomes. Thank you everyone. About 70 degrees today, I think winter may finally be leaving. Have a nice rest of the weekend everyone. PS: Chief, I do love sweet tea & grits. I live in the FL panhandle which is...

laz57 - thanks for the shout out Since I lurk around here EVERY day I thought it only fair I tell ya'll a little about myself. I have been interested in model railroading for 20+ years. My husband & I will have been married for 23 years this April. We love to camp in our RV & enjoy stargazing...

Great pictures. Thank you Les. I'm assuming loads from train cars are dumped from this spur into trucks. Is this correct? I'm not sure I used the proper terms but I am still trying to learn them. I can't wait to start my layout. I will put in a scene like this.

Lester, Your first picture is very interesting. I would love to see more pictures of this scene.

Dennis, I usually just lurk around here at the caboose but I had to tell you my heart goes out to you. Losing a 4 legged member of the family is so hard. You are in my prayers.

I have heard that you can ask at Lowes or Home Depot & they will order it for you.

Love your layout. Enjoyed the video. My compliments.

Thank you for the welcome Shane. I will try to post my track plan but I have tried XTrackCad & the atlas track software with not much luck. I seem to do better with the good old pencil & graph paper. I am planning to use Atlas code 100 flex track & Peco turnouts (unless I change my mind...

Very nice work Bill

Thanks for the link Russ. Great to see the geodisic scenery used in a railroad. All the pictures were interesting. Thanks again, Marcie

Yes, my husband knows I have wanted to play with trains for soooooo long. I even started a layout right after we got married, 23 years this April. But then we had a baby & she got all the room but now shes grown up & moved out. He gets the garage & he likes it when I'm happy cause everyone...

Thank you Russ for sharing your experience. I can't wait to try it out. But alas I must finish planning & cleaning out the room first. I guess that will give me time to save some money. Marcie

TrainNut, Do you lay plaster cloth under the cork roadbed or lay the cork & just plaster up to the edge? Thanks for any advise, Marcie

Thank you for your replies Andrew & TrainNut. This is a link to their site: Bragdon Enterprises - Cutting Edge Model Scenery Technologies This link (on their website) is an example of a train layout built with their products: Beach Cities Junction - Rons World Looks very interesting to me...

Hi Everyone, This is my first post. I am planning to build my first model railroad soon. I have wanted one for 20 years but have never had the room. Now our daughter has grown up & moved out so my husband is going to let me have her room. I have been working on a track plan for a few months...
