Layout design
Layout Popup done right
Friend and fellow model railroader Ted Nutting of Loveland, CO has a layout pop up that is about as well done as anything I've ever seen.
Coal Shed
Another project in the works,
A two track coal shed that was in the December 1979 issue of Model Railroader.
I wanted to build a model of this building ever since I first read the article in the summer of 1989.
Temporary Layout
Hi All,
Recently some very surprising circumstances forced my wife, daughter, and I to move in to her parent's home while we wait for our house to "be complete" which should be some time around Spring. This of course left me in a tough spot layout wise as I had nothing to permanently setup and operate, so I figured I'd create a temporary, mobile, and cheap layout to hold me over until a more permanent layout could be deigned and implemented.
Extruded Polystyrene Rigid Insulation foam after 3 years/now almost 8 years later.
Today I hauled my modules out of storage; they were in there for over three years. The Extruded Polystyrene Rigid Insulation foam has shrunk a bit, but by only just under 1/8 of an inch on a piece 80 inches long. However it did not shrink in thickness. In some places the gluing of it to the hollow core door did come undone, but not down at the ends against the 3/4 inch ply. I can't recall what type of adhesive I used. I think I'll screw it down with screws in a washer and sink them flush with the foam.
Yard module
I have the initial design for the yard module which will be the one module that will be permanent.
Thoughts?
