Does anyone know how to make this model rotate using motors? All tricks will be used when I build my layout.

Engine Shop details Large "modern" Lathe

Wed, 2017-07-19 20:59 — YoHo

So, at my Club, we're finally getting ready to fix and detail the interior of the roundhouse.

The structure is the Walthers kit. A brick building, fairly large. There was some discussion and while we all liked the idea of a vast pull driven shop, we all agreed that for the model as we have it, that might be a little out of place. At minimum, the belt driven machines would likely have been retrofitted with Electric motors.

Scratch Building with Styrene

Scratch building has always been an endeavor of mine since starting to build model railways, one of the biggest problems I have living in Australia is there’s not a very large range of buildings specific to my location and era…

There are a few great model kits however they’re usually for different areas of the country and not what I’m after.

TOMA Port Tacoma backdrop question

Sat, 2017-07-15 15:38 — thib9564

Can I get some info on the backdrop used for the Port Tacoma module. What size was the backdrop used? I figured out that it is the Backdrop Junction IND012, but what size was used for the original layout module? Were there any additional mods made to the IND012, other than reversing it?

Plasticville Stable parts

This is the SECOND brand new, unopened Plasticville building I've bought that is missing parts right out of the box... it is SO frustrating. It is the Blacksmith/Livery Stable set #2909... it was sealed, with the parts sealed on their board and bag inside as well... but, it's missing the Chimney vent (2 pieces) the chimney (2 pieces) Std. door, 2 loft pulleys, hanging sign, 3 windows, and the stall front! (I'm guessing they are all on the same parts tree)

Help with crossbucks

Thu, 2017-07-13 08:46 — Long Haired David

In the attached image, I have mocked out a road shape from my ice house across the tracks to the "outside". As you can see, it crosses two industry spurs. They are more than a standard double track distance apart. What I need to know is - would there be crossbucks at both tracks or just one pair with - maybe - "Two Tracks" on the posts? Or, maybe as they are industry spurs, no crossbucks at all?
