Timesaver VS. Inglenook Layout
I am planning on building a very small layout that is 4 feet long and 1 foot wide in N scale. I do not have the extra room in my apartment to build a 4X8 layout let alone a bedroom or a basement sized layout. I will be building a 4-3-2 Inglenook layout with six cars(and a switching lead that has a capacity of two cars plus the locomotive). I prefer building a Inglenook layout instead of a Timesaver layout because it is much easier to build(with only two turnouts) plus more prototypical than a Timesaver.
Dam, that’s a solution
One problem with the open grid bench work that most of us use, it’s difficult to do any scenery below track level. You can add hills/mountains but doing a canyon requires the track to be built on risers. However, that requires some planning ahead. What if you want to add a feature below the track level after you all already up and running with track work built on the grid.
Can anybody help me please
I'm trying to find a way back issue of Model Railroader.I had a copy, but it seems to have been eaten by the Black hole (or the carpet monster) that lives in my room It contains an article and a diagram, with (I think) a cutting list, for a modellers working and tool tray - The tool tray has individual vertical compartments and holes to hold files, modelling knives, pliers, screwdrivers etc. I know for a fact that it ISN't in March 1962 which I have just bought at great expense from USA ( I'm in UK).
Photo uploader not working
I'm attempting to upload some photos to the server and am having no luck. I've tried from two different computers on different connections with no success. As well, when I try to browse the server the pop up window goes to the MRH home page instead of the file list that usually comes up. Is there something wrong with the website?

NMRA HOn3 track gauge
I am going to go outside my modeling box soon to build an HO narrow gauge 4x8 layout so I can run the narrow gauge equipment I've accumulated over the years. I will be using Micro Engineering code 55 flex as the basis,but will be scratch building the turnouts. So now I need a gauge other then the 3 or 4 regular NMRA HO variety I already own. Does the NMRA make one for HOn3? I looked on their site to no avail,but I may have missed it? If not,what do those who model in HOn3 use?

Why not a "Thanks" or "Like" button?
Any way the forum could accommodate a "Thanks" or "Like" button? Many times I peruse posts and want to give the author a thumbs-up for something, but I don't want to add a "me-too" post.
Simply clicking on a "Thanks for this useful post" or a "Like" button would leave my username under the specific post indicating that I appreciate what they've done or agree with something they've said.
Just an idea . . .
Southern Slate Fork Branch
Appeal to Paul Schmidt: do you have a blog with photos of your Slate Fork layout? How about a track plan? Curious Appalachian Coal Hauler addicted model railroader would like to know.
