My Model Railroad Company 

Here's some "best of" photos from the just recently conducted op session on my HO Siskiyou Line.

Charlie Comstock's video Railfanning the Bear Creek & South Jackson inspired me to try a response. My layout is not finished and I used the unsenicked area too.

And again I've learned why the pros take many hours of video and you see only a few minutes.
And you need good light, and ....

Anyway, it was fun

Hi,

Whoever thought of posting the live presentation about Decoer Pro on the web deserves a medal! It's a superb way of giving people a good insight into how the software and hardware works.

Thanks for doing the work.

Best regards,

Keith

Here we see the size difference between AmericanFlyer S(NH) and K-line S gauge cars(L&N)

Here we have another comparison this time a AmericanFlyer Vs. Americcan Models Flatcars notice the slightly lower posistion of coupler on American Models car.

This will be the place I'll review my experiences with online hobby shops, with a distinctly Canadian perspective.  As I talked about in another thread, Canadian shoppers are a little more limited when it comes to shopping online, either because people won't ship here, will ship here at exorbitant prices or we just can't find the Canadian roads we're looking for because they just aren't stocked.  We have some Canadian hobby shops online, but I haven't yet found one that provides discounts like the American shops.

Okay, this one is kind of significant. Atlas is producing, as part of their Trainman line, the Phase 1 GP39-2 that forms the backbone of my prototype railroad, the Portland & Western (in it's former name of Willamette & Pacific). It will initially be available in two road numbers each of the following railroads: CSX (in YN3), Delaware & Hudson (Blue & Yellow), Portland & Western (Black and Orange) and Santa Fe (Bluebonnet) as well as undecorated.

As predicted by MRH (or at least me, with MRH at the National Train Show in Anaheim), Atlas is releasing the Dapol(UK) track cleaning car under their own brand: http://www.atlasrr.com/HOFreight/hotrackcleaningcar.htm

Personally... I think I'm adding it to my Christmas List.

I'm looking for some ideas on a u-shape benchwork. Also looking for track plans for Philadelphia conrail, csx ,and northfolk southern freight route. Can anyone out there help me.
