Looking for plans for a shelf layout
I'm looking for advice and/or plans for a shelf/switching layout. The fixed parameters are: HO, standard gauge, 9 feet by 18 inches, at least one connection to 'the outside world' one one end. The rest is flexible, though I'm thinking the time period is somewhere between 1920 and 1960. The idea is to have a layout that can be run standalone or be attached to an existing layout or another unit.
Wood Structure's on model railroad
I have a question on putting structures on the layout. I have built some wood structure kits and wonder how to attach them on the layout. My fear is if I would ever need to move or remove them from the layout they may get damaged. I am considering attaching them to gator foam and then when placing them on the layout build the scenery around the foam. I am interested in your ideas.
Thanks

News Flash! Unusual loco sighted on the Richlawn Railroad!
(Tongue in cheek) :-)
So, I saw this "extremely rare" L&N loco on ebay and I just had to have it! I knew that it is so rare that it never actually existed, although some double cabs were actually produced. I believe the "Janus" must be the name of the builder (basher). Whoever did the work did an o.k. job.
Decal Paper Experience ???
Hey gang,
I am looking for anyone who has experience with DecalPaper.com? What I would like to know is if their paper is any good? There are few reviews that I can find for the product. The company's return policy is non-existent so I really am hesitating.
What other brands of decal paper has anyone used? I have a color laser, so I need laser capable paper.
Thanks,
Kirk

Prototype Inspired Penn Lake Railway Paint Scheme
Developing a locomotive scheme can be tricky...I took the easy way I out and copied a prototype example. Since the Penn Lake Railway is partially owned by the Delaware and Hudson, it wasn't much of a stretch to use elements of the D&H's first diesel scheme. In fact for several units, I just bought D&H units and replaced Delaware & Hudson with Penn Lake
This is a close call
Thought that I would pass this along to the group as a whole. A friend sent this to me this morning; see the email from the engineer of the train.

There's a prototype for it
I pass these photos along just to show that there's a prototype for the performance of my first trackwork way back when.
6/24/10 - UP's LOFxx was shoving a string of empties, when a boxcar picked the points of a yard track switch. So, the west truck took track 3 and the east truck took track 2.
