    Need someone to develop track plan

    The more I think about this, the more I'm leaning toward N scale. The draw back is they're so small, I can't see if the wheels are on the track. I also want soundtrax! I've been waiting 40 years for on board sound. The problem with HOn3 is there is NO passenger equipment available, and I'm...

    Story of the C & M RR

    Flowers Thanks for the kind words all. Actually, I got the idea from a book at the library that suggested among other things, to have a history for your MRR. As I was thinking up this history, I got the idea to introduce charactors and have them tell the story. It just kind of evolved from...
