    Its MONDAY 2-7-05, weekend modeling accomplishments!

    Went to the LHS sunday, not planning on picking anything up, but the temptation was just too great... Came home with a new Loco (Atlas RS-3 CP Rail), 7 pieces of rolling stock, and another book (Track Planning for realistic operations). Great haul and great price, there were 2 more engines, but...

    Thanks for the reply DocHoliday. The upper left area is mostly just going to be mountains, with a river running through it, then a mountain on the other side, so the bridges at the top section will run across at a 2" height (roughly), whlie the rest of the bridges at ground level. Guess the...

    Layout Critique/Questions

    Hi all, After reading these forums for a while getting ideas and such, finally decided to signup to ask some questions and get some feedback on a layout. Just some background criteria I've been trying to maintain. First, I'd like to be able to run at least 2 trains (either 2 main line, or...
