Here are some more photos of the scenery for my club layout. This is all in an 18" by 6" scene with backdrops by backdrop junction. This is still the example module I showed awhile ago but more views.

My Trip To Kalmbach Publishing

Thu, 2015-09-10 08:30 — trainmaster247

This happened a while ago now but thought it would be interesting to show here. In early June I went to the Model Railroader magazine HQ. Below are some photos of what I saw (and who I met). Overall I met: Alex from Trains Magazine, and Model Railroader: Neil, Cody, Steve and David. (Sorry don't have all last names sorry)

I was able to see all past layouts except the Seaboard Short Line which I was told was sold to a collector.

N Scale McKinley Explorer coupler idea

Mon, 2015-09-07 17:24 — trainmaster247

So I took the long couplers on one car (both ends) and replaced them with short couplers. This is a much more prototypical appearance and does not effect opperations.

The changed distance on left it makes a difference even on curves

Planning is driving me nuts

I have a 9x11 area in my basement to make my model railroad,  It will be around the wall with a 2" foam base and a duck under at the door.  I have been trying out different track ideas and just can't seem to come up with one that will satisfy me to have both freight and passenger operations.  Because the ceiling area isn't very high, older house I really don't have room for a helix or to have a second level.
