I have a question...I know there has got to be SOME way of doing this...but I want to make the water in the river on my layout about 2 inches deep...the fake water that is...I don't want to paint the base and use some glossy stuff, I want it to actually be that beep...something I can mix little...

ok for an update on my layout, I have been working on the track some, college classes ended this week so I can once again get started on it...I need some plaster and stuff, but I have completed all of the track minus a switch...I need one lousy switch like I have on it or I need to get a whole...

thank you...yeah the viaduct is my favorite part so far...I liked the track on one part going under it next to the river...kinda added some character to it...

actually I have been very surprised at how easy stuff has been...I was worried that it would turn out bad since I didn't know any good techniques for painting and everything...the hardest part so far was the track...once you have the track down it is smooth sailing it seems so far...my only...

and I kind of went over a lot of stuff again here HAHAHAHA!!!!

1. the very first picture is of the wiring I have done...I just isolated all of the rails and connected each one the way I wanted it to be connected, and in some places I just had to run 2 or 3 connections, which will be no problem hiding when I get to that part... 2. next picture is the east...

and here are the restsign1

I'm terribly sorry, I have been insanely busy lately and haven't gotten the chance to post any new pictures of it. I have gotten a lot done though. Have 2 loops working good and have one disassembled slightly working on terrain...I'm taking pictures for everyone to see. I finished the riverbed...

I got a lot done this week...tomorrow I plan on posting more pictures if I get around to it...I have everything in the river done except for water...and maybe a bit more green around the edges...I have to find another arch bridge somewhere, or just get 3 new ones...went to a train show today and...

thank you very much :) My brother started this layout about 30 years ago, and I just started working on it. I had to pull the big mountain (it was in the double loop section I showed with the buildings) and redid a lot of the track...my first goal is to get all of the tracks operational...gotta...

here are a few pictures of the layout I am working on...just thought you guys might like to see it :) the first picture, is actually of the very first mountain I have ever made...the second picture is of the track down along the valley where the main line goes across the river...the third is of...

thank you so much guys, I think I figured it out actually...I found a diagram showing how someone hooked theirs up on google, and...I have this question...in my yard, if I only use 1 insulator per track...which track do I place it on (directions are pretty much, inside is facing me and outside...

if you have any other (usually older types) my Southern ALCO Century 420 has a tab on the back and the top of the shell pops up and you have to take the 2 screws out...just a thought if you ever run into it again...as for greasing and lubrication and what-not...the clicking and buzzing is the...

I have to vote for Bachmann, for the simple reason that, out of my 10 or so engines, the Bachmann ones are the only ones that still run after sitting for a year...the others are probably only dirty, but they are hard to start running and they get loud and stop randomly awaiting a nudge...which...

thats quite alright, forums can be a hand full to keep running correctly, and moderate efficiently and fairly...I used to run 2 of them myself for one of my games...

oh wow that is very interesting...maybe you could help me out on a few problems with my 1985 190D when I get around to it soon...I have been working on it a lot lately, last spring the engine went on it with about 700K miles on it...was hoping to hit that 1 million mark, but she was run hard...

I'm not good with introductions but apparently it is required...so Hi everyone :mrgreen: I'm building an N-Scale train set that my brother started right now as one of my hobby's which is why I was seeking out a forum quite like this one...but I'm not really good with anything yet as I have never...

I have a trainset that my brother built several years ago. I'm redoing all of his wiring now and need some help. The main loop I have powered but I have a problem powering the other sidings. There are 2 that go all the way through with a switch at each end and the is one that ends in a bumper. I...
