This photo is of the pennisula section. It goes into a loop and under another mountain (from where I took the photo) and swings back down the modules. I have work to do on the loop section although the mountain is in place and just needs some trees and greenery. Does anyone have an easy way of...

Made a close up of those steamers you wanted and added another photo of my Big Boy and Challenger in the Roundhouse Yard. In the 3rd photo I tried to get a shot of most of my layout. I have just added the floor of the docks and still intend to add more admin buildings.

I like your idea....... I was going to glue some photos of old buildings behind my main street, (onto my backdrop) but I think I may use some DPM profiles myself. Denyons

Thanks for the comments.... I have another couple of pics. to post. The first one is the 2 stall engine house at the east end of the town. It services the east end of the yard. The 2nd one is the main line entrance to the docks over two bascule bridges.

\ It looks like the front wheels are off but the engine is acually branching off left into the passenger station track. Reply to PGANDW Maybe I was a little optamistic about 5 double headed engines. It would be more comfortable with 4. My layout is 19 feet X 12 feet and also has a pennisula...

My scenery is still needing some greenery and especially lots of trees. I think that I will wait for warmer weather so I can make the trees on my patio table outside and avoid the fumes from the spray glue. My next job is to finish off a small lake which is at the left of the roundhouse.

I am sure the Zephyr would be OK but my concern is the wattage. I am told you can run 4 or 5 double headed trains which would probably be fine but if another person was wanting to do some switching it would not be enough.

You must have been into my club (the ESMRE) at Londonderry Mall? Give me a call and drop over anytime. Reply to Nazgul.......... I don't have a Track Plan on paper but maybe I could draw something up.

I picked the brains of a friend who had managed to extract the general road background from a game that he plays on the internet. I have the background saved on my computer and I printed it onto several sheets of AVERY Label paper. You do need to have a smooth surface to put the roads down or...

Thanks for the comments Berraf. I am trying to make my layout so that I can have a few friends over to operate on it with me. My space inside the layout is limited but possibly OK for 3 persons to run trains. I am still unsure whether to purchase the Digitrax Zephir or the more expesive Chief.

Still lots to be completed but it's taking shape.

Thanks Guys, for the tips on reducing the image size. Hopefully I have it beat this time. My layout is basicly double track all the way around and will be digitrax powered, although I will be making one of the main lines capable of switching to analog, so that I will be able to run many of my...

My photos are in jpeg format???? It a puzzel to me.

I still can't find any way to reduce the image file size to 65 Kbs or less. I have reduced the pic to 640 x 480. I'll keep trying... but if anyone can help?????

Hi Berraf, You are correct..my layout goes around 3 walls and the 4th side is open. I also have a pennisula down the centre of the layout with a loop at one end. I have been collecting items and building my layout for the past 3 years and to me, it is now begining to take shape very nicely. I am...

I have more photos but...... Having trouble trying to increase the photo size...... I resized to 640 x 480 but it would not upload the photo until I made it 200 x 170. Any idea why????

Wrong photo..I'll try again

New to the Gauge but thought I might share my layout progress. Hope this photo download works.:)

Just wanted to add, that for levelling I epoxied adjustable screw in type levellers into the conduit pipe at one end. They are made in a square casing but the epoxy holds them inside the conduit very well and there is no problem adjusting the foot part up or down. Just had to be careful not to...

Hi Mike, I have Been following your posts over the past year or two and I am impressed with your work. Re. the legs on your new layout...Well I am with the Edmonton N Scalers and I made our module supports from 1' conduit. I managed to aquire some 4"x4" cut off blocks from a company that makes...
