In this episode we are going to continue working on the Easy Streets installation as well as work on some additional projects.

The following are the guidelines that I have been using to design my Lynnsport & Eastern layout.  I do realized that in many cases these are more blinders than constraints.  But I accept them as they are.  What has worked for you? 

 The "Future Train" adopts smart technologies and sustainability

The marathon of innovation and creativity continues between producers and manufacturers in the world and specialists in the transportation sectors of all kinds, including trains and the adoption of smart technologies in future trains, as manufacturers focus on smart and environmentally friendly technologies.

These 10 TT scale models of steam locomotives I made by scratchbuilding in the 1980s.

  Egypt is the second country in the world after England, which introduced the railways to its land, and the Egyptian railways are the first lines to be built in Africa and the Middle East, as their construction began in the fifties of the nineteenth century, specifically on July 12, 1851, and began operating in 1854.

Early beginnings: (2)

Good evening all, I’ve lurked here for a while and have been working on this newest layout since the beginning of the year, albeit with a long layoff due to the basement getting a new floor and the COVID situation affecting work.

For the longest time, I’ve been fascinated with structures and city modeling, however two things happened over the past couple years that changed my immediate modeling aspirations: 1) Two family vacations to the Maine coast; and 2) A rediscovery of Troels Kirk’s magnificent Coast Line RR.

I made the statement previously that a great place to start planning a layout is to pick the footprint and then design a track plan from there.  The layout footprint will answer if you have room for things with a little thought.  Here is where I ended up.  As it turns out the finished basement room is about the same size as the paper the diagram is on 20' by 15'.  I could have (in theory) used the entire space...

Exciting time when they Blast at the mine, the ground shakes a large piece of mountain lifts into the air then settles back down, gigantic shovels go to work filling haul trucks (once trains). From the beginning of open cut mining it been part of this hard rock excavating. Some of the pictures are from the Kennescope Magazine.

Hi, my name is Richard, and I'm a Model Railroader.

<"Hi Richard">

Figured since I'd been lurking around for years and occasionally posting off the wall questions, and since I'm actually getting much closer to building a layout, it might be time to introduce myself.
