Yard speakers - a nice detail.

Thu, 2013-10-03 13:04 — rickwade

I ran across this picture today and thought that it's a neat little detail in having yard speakers (photo right).  Obviously L&N used them and I believe that Tom Patterson has some on his layout.  I plan on putting one in my loco service area on my layout.

Making a mountain from a mole hill - Mountain construction on the Richlawn RR

Thu, 2013-10-03 07:10 — rickwade

Another one of my "summer reruns" from my past layout.  I've got pieces / parts of the process sprinkled here and there in different threads so I though the summary in one place could be interesting.  Maybe you will find it entertaining so here's the process for the mountain on the previous Richlawn Railroad.

Screen doors

Wed, 2013-10-02 06:01 — rmendell

Hey Guys,

Does anyone know when Aluminum screen doors started being used.  My era is 1977, and would  like to include one on a structure I am building but would like to keep it prototypical.  Also does one know of any suppliers of one in HO scale.

Thanks

CNW Peninsula Div. RR HO scale Part 1

Mon, 2013-09-30 15:47 — richhard444

As promised here are the first round of pictures of the CNW Peninsula - Division. The first is the track plan. The layout room is 29' x 32' with a 6' x 12' extension for the Ashland Yard and a 16" x 13' extension for the off line yard. During operating sessions we use the Ashland Yard to make up trains and then the yard master shoves them back into the off line storage yard to wait for an operator to take the train out onto the main layout.

The Superior Cheese Company is finished and is in it's place in the Green Bay Industrial area on my HO scale CNW Peninsula Div. layout.

Check out my blog over the next week for pictures of the CNW Peninsula Div. layout. I will be posting them in two or three groups as there are many. These pictures will show the whole layout. All the finished & unfinished parts. Hope you enjoy them.
