Here's my entry, I finally got it down to under 65k! inbound container train (120 I think) in Bedford NS, approaching Halifax Rockingham yard, December 2003 Graham

Anyone using the chatroom with OS X and Safari? .. I can get in but none of my comments get posted :( :( Graham

I've used a single piece of shirt cardboard under the outside edge of the curve (in n scale) and it looked great, no ill-effects to running either. Honestly I just went ahead an did it with no real planning and it worked. Graham

Welcome to the gauge and to N scale especially!!, 11x6 is a nice size, I have an 11x9 U shaped layout.. and I'm in Dartmouth NS Graham

These look rather similair to the Berkshire used in the Polar Express, would seem to be fortuitous timing on the part of Lifelike. They certainly are beautiful, definately on my "would like" list. Graham

Thats beautiful Jon!, more pictures!!. I've always been tempted to go for a winter layout but you kinda get sick of snow in Canada!. so I think I'll be going for the Autumnal look :) Graham

Looking Great David! Graham

Like I said, I'm not a HO scale modeller, but I have heard very good things about Bachmann Branchline in the UK (Bachmann in N in N.America is pretty dodgy (save the new 2-8-0)) but they seem to have thier act together in the UK. In terms of buildings, there's a lot of interest in Card...

I'm not sure if there was anywhere where all four railways were represented. Lots of places for 2 though, based on geographical neighbours, GWR/LMS GWR/SR LMS/LNER etc Graham

the 30s were a pretty interesting time with some amazingly beautiful locomotives running on all of the big four (ok.. I admit.. I love all four railway companies, I just have an affinity with the GWR growing up in S.Wales.) I found this railroad map of the main terminus's in London in 1935...

Hi Curmudgeon, Don't listen to 60103, he just has a thing for the LNER :) :) The Great Western (or should I say "Gods Wonderful Railway") is a fine fine railway, those supporters of those 'other' railways have never gotten over the fact that we had real Welsh steam coal and not that other...

That looks amazing!... more inspirations for me to get outa my chair and do some modelling! Graham

Great Shots Chris! I know what you mean about tiring, it was great to be able to sit down after our show here in NS Graham

Ah Beer, a truly Canadian solution to this problem! Graham

The Dartmouth NS show was a blast, I'll hopefully have some pictures too. My group the EasterNbeNders ran a smallish (20') long layout with only one slow speed rear-end collision (pretty good for us!). In terms of my layout I didn't get anything done but did manage to get a sweet deal on a n...

Its called a MOCAP (or motion capture machine) I have one here in my Animation department, they're pretty cool. Now if only I can persuade my faculty to incorporate building 3D models of various locomotives into thier curriculum we'd be sorted! Graham

Welcome to the Gauge! I know you'll learn a lot.. I think everyone here does Graham :)

This is worrying, coming from the UK and being a trainspotter during the 80s I lived through the hobby being considered a slightly eccentric but harmless hobby (hell every small boy wanted to be an engine driver) to a much shunned, maligned and victimised minority group. Popular culture uses...
