Trackwork
Next project/step
This is just the ties from a P87 stores Ultimate turnout kit. All the other goodies are on the bench. Gonna try a little different thing and build it as a wye. This will go where the northbound and southbound mains meet at Church. A #8 so we should have no troubles with anything going through it, right????

Track Plan Tri-County CO-OP & Grain Elevator
I designed this Track Plan of the Tri-County CO-OP & Grain Elevator, based on the actual layout of the track, elevator and buildings. This facility is located close to where I live. I have always been fascinated with the operation of this small industry.
Pembroke: Siding North Switch
In which I detail laying the switch at the north end of the siding, thereby completing track on the visible portion of the layout.
Switch stands
Hi everyone. After a spell in N Scale and UK 009, I am back in HO. I am laying the track for my new layout using Peco code 83 and intend to manually switch points. However, I remember seeing some scale shape switch stands some time ago. All I can find now are the low level Caboose Hobbies ones. Can anyone point me to where I might find the tall type with lamp signals on them?
Thanks

Vertical easements and rigid framed steam locos
I know this sort of relates to the discussion about artificially distressing track, but I did a quick search and did not see any specifics for vertical easements. My interest is related to N scale FreeMo modules in particular, and the fact that we may have many different types of locos and rolling stock passing through.
Tortoise wireing.
I really wasn't prepared for the information overload when I started my layout a year ago. I either heard or read that I should wire each tortoise through a terminal block and at the time it made complete sense. Well now I can't find anything or remember anything. Can someone shed light on where this might be covered? If you've done this or decided not to do this I would love some input as to why you did what you did. They are so trouble free I am at a loss as to the benefit of a terminal block. Thanks , Blayne
N Scale Turntable size and track angles issue
So I am at a bit of a loss when it comes to the two turntables I need - one for Dover NH and one for Conway. According to the B&M diagrams I found, both were 85' turntables. I am trying to avoid spending a fortune and so old brands are just as fine with me as newer ones (I use eBay a lot), and manual is fine though electric would be nicer. (I might go newer and expensive if there is no other choice, but I'd rather not spend over $500 just for two turntables.)
