As I said in another thread, I began the contruction of my second layout, a 2x4 N scale in the laundry room ! The layout has many intersting features, a good trackplan (with place for operations), better knowledge (2nd layout) and most of all : it is attached to the wall using door hinged: so...

Hi ! Just to keep you updated, the construction of my new layout (2x4 N scale) has begun ! After many many days of relexion, I decided to go with NO roadbed, for some reasons: 1- On my previous layout I used foamboard as roadbed, and it was WAY too high ! 2- The layout is build on a...

Same thing here buddy: I moved from a big appartment where I had my train room with a huge 7x3 N scale layout, to a smaller house where there was no room from trains. Trust me, this is the best thing that could occur to me ! As I really wanted to have trains, I searched and searched, and...

Hi ! As I said earlier, me and my wife had to move, and the new house did not have enough room for my 3x7 N scale layout, so I had to store it and start from scratch, but smaller. I seached the net for some cool 2x4 layouts, and found many. I picked one I liked, and modified it a little...

I love this idea !!! Unfortunately, there's no scenery yet on my layout ... so I'm gonna wait a couple of months. It wouldn't be very interesting to see The Gauge box car in "Blue foam Valley", "Plaster River" or the famous "Giant white glue bottle" (check my webcam, you'll understand this...

Mike ... your containers are VERY cool !!! I love them !!! My yard could really use 20 or 30 of theses ... About that template ... is it a graphic file ? Posting it here would be very appreciated !! If it is not "computerized" (IE cardboard or paper) ... describe it to us so we can build...

Nice trestle !!!! Could you post some closeup pics ? I'd love to see more of that piece of artwork !!!

Here's mine: The road itself is simply foamcore, painted with WS Aslphalt Gray. The part between the rails are toothpicks glued together and sanded smooth. The ones you see on the picture are too round, I've installed much better ones but my digital camera is being repaired.
