N Scale Pagosa & Southern Progress
Once I decided to expand my On30 Thunder Mesa layout, I was faced with the problem of what to do with the 30" x 60" N scale Pagosa & Southern that stood in the path of 1:48 scale progress. Moving it lock, stock and barrel to another location wasn't an option, so I concluded to redesign and rebuild the layout as a 12" x 72" switching operation on a shelf. This is one of the many times I've been glad that I used Kato Unitrack.

Like most people, I began an interest in trains at an early age. I received an AHM train set in Junior High, and played with it through high school, but I put it away when I went to college. Shortly after I got married, I picked a copy of the June 1981 MR, and read the article on 4 x 8 Track Planning. The Arkansas Southern was something I could build, so I did. Then I expanded it, then I converted my cars to KD couplers. Through graduate school and jobs I always had at least a 4x8 layout, with an emphasis on operating.

Quick and Easy N Scale Uncoupling Tool
I use modified bamboo skewers to uncouple cars on my On30 layout but they're just too big for N scale couplers. I don't want to use magnets on my new N scale switching layout so here's the quick and easy uncoupling tool I made:
