Hello,

One of my future plans to to change the layout's theme to a Rock Island mainline and let the Mopac operate the small switching yard.  I just finished Blair Lines Gerald RI depot and placed it on the right of way to see how it looked with a freight running by.  l

I have set up a special section of 23 pictures on the Web site that show all of the Grande Pacific with its completed bench work and main line with some siding installed.  Operations are comming soon. Hope some of you can come by and join the fun.

Hello Model Railroad Hobbyist magazine readers. This is my first post as I an new to the hobby and just getting started. My name is Alan and I live in central Michigan. Having moved into our very first built-to-order house my wife has granted me permission (married guys know what I am talking about) to return to the hobby I loved as a kid. My oh my how things have changed in model railroading over the past 40 years. It is all so exciting.

Hello All,

I have been enjoying MRH immensely since I have found it and hope someone can help me out.  I admit that identifying all types of locos and rolling stock is not my strength and wondered if anyone could suggest websites that allows you to find pictures and information to solve this issue.  Part of the reason is I am trying to identify ages and uses of items I currently have so that I am using the appropriate ones on my layout which is set in the mid 1930's.

Any help here is appreciated - Thanks!

Last weekend I attended a FREMO meeting in Hanau, with my Isle of Skye Railway modules. There I made a short movie showing my new Class 27 in action.

Here is an update to my A&MR all-door build:

Here are the base layers for the doors installed.  Also visible is the "holy" gusset plate on the end of the sill.  On my last post I had a picture of the center plug doors.  Since then I realized the spacing was incorrect and had to re-make them.  The correct doors are shown above. 

Lots of purchases to sort out after my visit to the kidlets. Engines, cars, detail parts and buildings to work on in between the spring honeydo list.
