My first module - Installing the bridge

Wed, 2015-12-23 20:52 — steve888

Now it's time to install the bridge.

Here is my Exactrail 50' girder bridge weathered lightly with AIM Products powders finally glued in place.  I also added more weathering to the abutments.

Wilmington Yard

Wed, 2015-12-23 11:48 — dave1905

Now that Elsmere Junction is pretty well in, time to move on to Wilmington Yard.  The yard is recycled from my previous layout.  It has a main, runner, 5 yard tracks, a caboose track, scale track and lead.  There were a few industry tracks on the back side of the yard, across the main.  Originally only #1 track was double ended, that has been expanded in the new design to 2 double ended and 3 stub class tracks.  All tracks are class tracks, I don't have designated A&D tracks, but normally the yardmasters use the runner, #1 and now #2.

Resuming the hobby...

Tue, 2015-12-22 22:39 — TXTrainGuy

Hi All,

After being on a hiatus for the past couple of years, I'm looking to resume where I left off.  The reason for putting a hold on the hobby is due to my being laid off, and with the hobby being as expensive as it is, I just didn't have the budget.  However, I'm glad to say that I've been working now for the past year or so, and I've come to a point where I'd like to resume where I left off.

Track Design Software

Hello All,

First post for me, and I am seeking a bit of design advice. Which track layout software does everyone use and why? I work on a PC platform, could use MAC if required. From looking at everyone's layout, they have modeled in several different programs. I have found a few, some are a bit more daunting than others.

Remodeling a bedroom for a shelf layout.

Mon, 2015-12-21 13:21 — sanchomurphy

Hello everyone,

I am in the process of remodeling a bedroom and I am looking at ways to remodel it for a layout with less lift outs and more straight runs along the walls. The room is a typical 12' x 14' box. A 4' x 4' slider window is centered on the north wall. A 5' wide x 7' tall closet sits on the south end of the east wall. The 3' wide x 7' tall door sits on the west end of the south wall. 

Are there any articles online that give advice pertaining to remodeling the room for a layout?
