I'm off on the big drive across Canada and back starting on July 14 and was wondering if there are any good Railway museums that would be worth a stop.Going out we will be following the Trans Canada to Calgary and then on to Vancouver Island,on the return trip we will be doing the Banff to...

If your layout is against the wall i would paint it several shades of green where it touches the layout and blue about a foot or two above the green,with white clouds

As a one train one operator on a shelf layout i;ll stick with the DC for now but having a DCC equipped loco i found the sounds became a bit noisy and monotonous after the novelty wore off,If i ever do get into DCC it sure wont be for the sound effects..

I suppose it could be fixed if i buy new wheel housings and figure out how all the little gears go back together ,but the thing has just never run right for me so i think its relegated to a static spot in the yard. Dusty on the other hand is going to have to be real nice if he ever wants to get...

You could try Google images for NYO&W, it might come up with some ideas.

I'll stick with DC until i can find room to graduate from a shelf layout to something much bigger.

Signatures on this forum are in good taste and some are very good informative links ,on some other forums i visit they tend to take up whole pages and the actual text of the message is lost somewhere in the meaningless drivel of the signature.Fortunately on most forums these days you can choose...

I'd say the guy who puts up the money and time to set up and maintain the forum has the last word on what guidelines he wants to adhere to. I'm sure the mature nature of the members in this hobby probably wouldnt present a problem but some forums have been ruined due to juvenile forum members...

I was under the impression that moderators could delete posts or threads, so just delete posts or threads that arent in keeping with the general theme of the forum,dont worry about hurting peoples feelings if they post crap or meaningless drivel that has no relation to the intent of the forum...

A video would have been entertaining..
