After some fits and starts, catenary is up and running on my Dunes Junction layout. Woo hoo! The video below shows my latest test of a mainline crossover. The South Shore-style lattice bridge poles and wire sections are from Model Memories.

Ummmm . . . . . . .

I have been working on the Prr signal, wiring up accessories in Conway and more.

On my last layout post I showed the helices leading up to the main deck and some initial main deck frame work going in. I just completed the main deck and am now ready to start laying some track, so I thought I'd post a few more pictures for the benefit of those who have been interested in following the construction progress.

So it begins.

Never built a layout, never even ran an engine on a layout. Don't know a whole lot about nothing and much about some.

After several years of reading, searching and nail biting for the opportunity to have my own fairytale world where I could manipulate the caricatures and play God in sculpting a perfect landscape, I hit paydirt; N scale Free-moN.

"Somewhere Southwest" is a switching layout in H0-scale. It is located where it's hot&dry - in the southwest of the United States.

Previously I have expressed concern about trains driving into the abyss when my drop bridge wasn't in place.  I prefer to have a physical barrier as this will stop a train dead in its tracks (pardon the pun) instead of an electrical solution, as much because I am not much of an electrician as anything else.  I expect my kids to be running trains occasionally so child proof is important as well. 

Hi, I have been a spectator of MRH for a couple of years now, this being my first post. So why not introduce myself with a new layout that I have started. I have been model railroading since the early 1990's. Construction is probably my favourite part of the hobby. I enjoy building kits, kit-bashing, scratch building and detailing structures, freight cars, locomotives and such. I will post updates on my progress on the layout in this thread if you wish to follow along.

Come on, everyone loves the circus right ? After watching Ken Patterson's videos I started thinking about scenery and photography differently. I also make videos, not as good as Ken's but I try my best.
