Mining puzzle

Thu, 2015-10-15 18:00 — Rob_C

I've come to that point where the first operating session is imminent now that the mainline has reached about the halfway mark on my HOn3 pike. (see track plan)

I model the SP narrow gauge in 1911 and the freelance Horseshoe & Cottonwood based loosely on the Bodie & Benton. Silver and gold mining are one of the key industries along the line.

A New Blog for my HOn3/HO Efforts

Sun, 2015-10-11 18:49 — ChrisS

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to share a new blog I've set up to chronicle my modeling in HOn3, as well as some HO standard gauge. There are only two posts so far, in which I've discussed the basic concept of my freelanced railroad-to-be as well as a notional history.

Hopefully some will find something useful or interesting in there!

Good morning all,

2 level mountain

Wed, 2015-10-07 17:07 — 187

Has anyone with a 2 level RR ever run a scenic element from the lower level through the upper level? I'm thinking a mountain with a tunnel on the lower level that would taper through the upper level so I can introduce a bridge to cross the mountain on the upper level. Blayne

I would like to get the groups input on a plan that is based on Iain Rice's Roque Bluff.

stub end - back in passenger terminal

Tue, 2015-10-06 17:53 — domer94

ive always been drawn to the design of the stub end terminal. im trying to incorporate one into my layout which is in benchwork phase. ive done some search on threads relating to this , but not too many results. is this typically something that people dont model due to the back-in element? is it looked at as disturbing the "flow" of train movement? i was going to do a pull through station with 6 tracks, but i keep going back to the stub end design. im looking at doing a three track mainline, and would have to allow for a 5 car (85') train length.

Virtual Model Railroads

Here are some photos of my model Railroadz layouts in Trainz 12. One of them is a small oval while the other is more of a work in progress but NG.
