On30 clearance.

Tue, 2014-01-07 19:32 — dkaustin

When designing an On30 layout what is the clearance required for passing tracks to accommodate car and engine overhang? I have a few places where there would be parallel tracks. I just want to make sure passing trains do not snag on each other.

Thanks!

Using Sculptamold

Sun, 2014-01-05 18:38 — hoffertg

I recently constructed a mountain on my layout. I overlaid the framework with Woodland Scenics plaster cloth followed by Sculptamold after it had cured. I am pleases with the appearance of it, but my question is; was Sculptamold a good material to use? I have read both positive and negative comments about the use of it on the Internet. I would like to hear the comments of others who may have used it.

I am very sorry to hear that Earl Smallshaw has passed away on Jan 3, 2014. His modeling and many contributions to the hobby will be missed.

Rest in peace Earl.

Help....something changed my screen resolution....

Thu, 2014-01-02 10:38 — Michael T.

I clicked on the MRH graphic  that Joe put up for folks to use.....I think that's what it was anyway....and now my screen resolution for just this site has changed.  I have black borders on either side of the  white page area and the type is small.  Tough on my 51 year old eyes. Anyone know what I need to do to get things back the way they were?

101 Track Plans

Tue, 2013-12-31 13:16 — thesavvytech

While cleaning and sorting through the usual modeling clutter over the holidays, I came upon a 101 Track Plans for Model Railroaders by Linn Westcott and started flipping through the pages. This is the fifth printing printing (1967).  I had the fourth printing (1963) but lost it while pursuing one of the many paths that life brings .

Anyway, I got to thinking about how many of Linn Westcott's track plans have been started, built and/or finished throughout the years.

So here is the question I am posing to the readers out there:
