Hiya folks...this O gauge track plan was generated using RR-Track software by MTH then exported and some labels added-I hope it shows up OK. The plan is for a 5'x13' area with a highly desired overpass, hard to do in such a small space with O gauge but we think it will work. If anyone sees...

I saw this on the news the other night..it may be old news because I don't watch very often. They said Union Pacific has won royalty rights to any model produced that bears thier road name as well as other road names that are now defunct because UP bought them and shut them down. A model...

Hi everyone :D having a great summer?? I just found this site via a ponding forum I frequent. Live scale trees cultivated for garden railroads and minature gardens. Thought some here would be interested. Make sure you check the gallery, the product listings do not have pics. I bet you...

Well Spring has sprung for sure now and I have been outside most the times it is not raining, and even some of those too..lol My winter obsession with modeling has taken a definite backseat to my obsessions with gardening, trail building, ponding, golfing, etc etc so I will not be around this...

Finescale architectural models Hiya folks...I have posted some pics that I took while on vacation in France of some great models on display at the d'Orsay Museum in Paris. They are in the finescalemodel forum on the Railroad Line forum, I hope it's OK to mention that forum and put a link...

Using Charlies excellent tutorial, Thank you VERY much Charlie, I have taken another 'first' modeling plunge today. Here are the results, kinda ugly but I learned ALOT. Like mix your colors better, that one brown is kinda too red. Mix some dirt and dry leaves in with ground foam, I was just...

I just noticed the "live chat" link at the top of the page....so, how slow am I? How long has that been there? Seen a few posts about the chat, so I thought I'd check it out. I clicked it and got a new window, saw my name in a panel to the right, was able to type in the 'say' field and it...

Inspired by Caseys stone wall..and my cubemates experience with same inspriation....I finally took the plunge and attempted some stonework!! I need a tunnel portal for a diorama I'm working on, so I tried that. I used a corrugated cardboard cutout that I used on the diorama and wrapped...

Hiya folks..... does anyone happen to have a copy of this magazine?? I'm looking to confirm that there is an article called "A Pacific Primer" by David P. Morgan. The article was referenced in a book and the website to order back issues doesn't give a full index of articles, so I thought I'd...

Heres Dads old caboose.....some parts missing and dig that ancient coupler on the 'back'. Question #1.... does the raised part of the roof go towards the front or back of the train? Questions #2..... I think the trucks are meant to power a light that goes into the hole in the bottom of the...
