I ended up with a bit of a dilemma when laying out the Wye on the final section of my HOn3 PC&N Ry. In order to have the Wye fit and leave enough room for at least one engine and car at the far end, I would have to tighten up the Wye radius to 18". I really wanted to keep my 22" minimum radius but that meant the Wye wouldn't even have enough room for a single engine at the far end.

I am asking the MHR community for some help in solving a problem I created with my choice of layout scenery. My layout was originally conceptualized 25 yrs ago as a much smaller layout with no intention of adding a backdrop or anything like that. I started this current version with the old idea then expanded it because I had the room to do so. Although I do plan on adding a backdrop at some point, I didn't take this into consideration when I stuck with the basics of how I originally thought the scenery would look. 

Hi all,

I am close to starting the work on the roadbed on my layout. Based on the prototype (Pasadena), the majority of it has the mainline on the same level as the surrounding terrain (ie roadbed / terrain on the same level) while in small parts the track is paved  and the railhead is flush with the terrain (depot, crossings etc). Based on photos, even the sidings on the main depot area are on the same level as the mainline (while that is not the case in other industrial and/or passing sidings, in different areas of the layout)

Hi Everyone

To support the Kids and the teacher in our local primary school I am looking for advice how to build fast and cheap F-Type wall mounts for a modular shelf layout.

F-Type means - Two shelf for the modular layout and space below for another layout (Gauge 1) running on a podest on the floor. Upper shelf is wider than lower shelf to assure sight to the floor.

We have some "restrictions":
