Round house on the Great Northern Railway, Minot, N. D.

 The Great Northern Roundhouse was built at the North end of Main street  & the Mouse River (AKA the Souris River) in Minot, North Dakota. By 1904 it was a half circle with 21 stalls for locomotive repairs and service.

Model Railroader Tar Branch and TMTV

I'm a subscriber to Model Railroader and a subscriber to MRVP. I am also a TMTV subscriber.  OK, with that said, I love MR's Tar Branch project!  It looks fantastic and they've fit a lot of railroading into a small space.  How about TMTV doing a yearly project module similar to what MR does?  

Kalso Kits

Looking for feedback on Kalso kits.  I like the look and the price is good.  What is the quality of the drive and how easy does it go together ?  

Thanks in advance

What to do with old track

I picked up at least 200 old ho tracks and switches at a garage sale. It looks pretty dirty and I’d like to clean it up. I know about isopropyl alcohol and q-tips. I don’t see any rust but they look like they’ve been used and then stuffed into a container. I’m new to model trains. I’m really enjoying the fact that we found my father in law’s old 0 gage post war Lionel set with track, switches and cars. I also had a full set of HO trains and track as well as a large assortment of N gage track, cars and switches. Any thoughts 

thanks

USing Trainmasters.TV is still awkward

I might be the only one, but because of many issues, I don't get around to watch Trainmasters every week.  Often I have to catch up sometimes MONTHS at a time.  And I always find myself, even when I want to watch entire episodes and select by that, going back and forth to select the next month.

Selling a layout

Has anyone ever tried to sell a layout (not 4X8) but 400+ SF for others to move?  If so how much success? I know Paul Dolkas tore down and sold at  least portions of his old B&M layout. Paul I I believe he dismantled a reasonable size section to sell,which the buyer only had to truck away. I am talking about a "Do it yourself" removal.
