I noticed that, but I believe that if I don't run overly long trains, I should be perfectly fine. I liked this design because I would actually be able to allow the trains to just run, for the watching enjoyment. Jacob

Thanks for the replys, I am thinking that this is going to be sort of a winter project, at least to get started on it. Now I just have to convince the other half to allow me the funding to do it. Jacob

THanks for the reply, I am thinking that this is going to be sort of a winter project, at least to get started on it. Now I just have to convince the other half to allow me the funding to do it. Jacob

I also posted this in the N Scale forum. This is something that I saw on a website that looked like an interesting design. I believe that it is a model of the Keddie Wye what does everybody think? This is a drawing of what the Trackplan would be: This is what the original looked...

Sounds about right, I really hope the two of us can keep an interest in the trains and be able to have fun in the hobby together for years to come. Jacob

It's been a while since I've been able to post, life really seems to get busy when you have a little one at home. He is almost 4 months old now, and loves just watching my train run around the basic loop, so I think it may be time to get going with building something. Jacob

Finally convinced the better half to give me some space in the basement, so I think I'll be cleaning, and if I'm lucky, starting on some benchwork. Jacob

For fencing you could use the net material that they make Bridal Vails out of. You can get it at most craft stores, and I believe that even Walmart carries it and you can buy it by in 1 foot sections and they are usually 45 or 54 inches wide. Then you could always give it a light coat of...

Very impressive, and only 2 minutes to download the whole 17 mintes. Gotta Love T1 lines at work. Jacob

Thanks Joe. You can send them to me at jkinosh@vossind.com. there is a 15 MB limit to the size of attachments. I look forward to being able to read it. Jacob

I am looking for a copy of Model Railroader from September 2001. Specifically the article on an building a N-Scale Layout in a coffee table. Does anyone have a copy they could scan and send to me, or atleast scan a few pictured of what they had as a completed project? Jacob

pgandw, thanks for the advice. I am more of the railfan type, as I love just sitting watching my train run. It will probably be some time befor I can get anything build, as I am still thinking about building a coffee table layout first, since my we are expecting out first child in the middle of...

Thanks glenn for the kinds words. Right now the only thing I think I may change is to make the passing track on the front a little longer by trying to put the turnouts in the corners if I can get them to position right. Jacob

I was reading throught the April Issue of MRR during lunch today, and thought about doing something more like this. It is a modified version of David Popp's Naugatuck Valley RR. I figure if I start with this, I should be able to add to it later if I can acquire more space. Comments...

I like everyone's ideas so far. If anyone wants to take a stab at something that will fit into approximately the same area, have at it. I really just want somthing that I will be able to have continuous running, maybe a small 2 or 3 track yard, and some interesting scenery. Jacob

I like what you did, I'll try to change the Layout in RTS and see how it looks, Not if I could just figure out what to do witht the S-curves. and still be able to get some interesting scenery involved. Jacob -edit-

I understand what your saying about the s-curve, but not sure on the Part about moving the Yard and engine facility. I quick drawing would be very helpful. Jacob

The squares in the drawing are 12" x 12" I understand what you are saying about the needing a siding/runaround track. I'll see what I can do to add on to the next revision. as far as the yard, I am not sure what I can do to easily change this as I have an area of about 5' x 8' that I can...

This is the updated version. I would like to keep the s-curve, as I liike the look of trains coming around them. I tries adding a passing side to it, but it just didn't look quite right, I have attached a zip file with the Right Track file in it. If you can help, please have at it. Jacob
