I see that Model Tech Studios is now a sponsor--kudos to them, and to MRH for getting them onboard.  Until a few months ago, I lived about 5 minutes from their location, and on a couple of occasions, was able to contact them and buy directly from their factory.  They have fantastic stuff--I saw some of the completed models they have there--DROOL!!!!

Very nice people, too.

She who must be obeyed has agreed an extension to my small room layout.  As can be seen in the drawing & photo below, (apologies for wonky tracks but I am still getting to grips with Scarm) the extension measures approximately 7 ft x 18”.  The extension is sitting in the back corner of the room and 2ft of the extension will be in the room closet with a small hole in the wall to allow the tracks to pass through.

I recently purchased the Walthers round house kit # 107598 for my 2'x4' layout. I need to add a turntable. I've read that the Atlas ones are not compatable with this one. I don't plan on using DCC for my layout so one one those DCC compatible ones with the motor is not required. Has anyone used the Peco part # 552-1755 one? Would this one work? I would maybe make my own motor setup for it, and add a operators side shed to it.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks.

Is anyone familiar with the new excavators being offered by Promotex?

Are they actually HO?
