HO “Bedside & Hinged” Switching Layout

Sat, 2020-12-05 23:38 — MikeHughes

I found the MRH site accidentally a few days ago while searching for Track Plans for a very small HO switching layout that I've decided to build while away from home working. Kind of cool that a Google Search got me here via a picture of a track plan on Pinterest! I have a tiny room/office at my away place in Vancouver where I stay with a family. I'm hoping by documenting this, it might inspire other space challenged modelers to get building.

I have issues consisting Kato locomotives. I just received the brand new SD70m flat radiator in N scale. It is a new release by kato. Two of my engines run fine in and out of consist. The other two run so differently at factory set I can't believe they both are the same brand.. Consisting makes them run so poorly. I use NCE pro cab . They act like they are pulling each other along . Any suggestions on what is wrong let me know.

Is lime (calcium carbonate) for paper mills (dry, not the slurry) ever shipped in gravity feed hoppers with trough hatches on top, or is it always circular hatches on top?
