I've been an HO modeler all of my life and understand and have a good feel for track design (i.e. curve radius, turnout position, etc.).  I am currently a member of the local HO model railroad club and enjoy running my equipment at the club.  However, I still want to build my own layout and do not have too much room at home.  I'm considering N scale.  What I am finding is that all the knowledge I have gained over the past 40 years regarding model railroading and HO scale is quite a challenge to translate to N scale.

Hi all.

I am going to start a layout. I think that is going to be the "one".

I asked for your help to plan a small freight yard, to serve just as staging yard. Well, I was over thinking about it. I opened SCARM and made a buck of trackplans, and all of the looked awful. Then, after reading Mike Confalone Allagash Story Vol1. I decided that should take an approach just like Mike does.

Well It is time to start up the new blog for the school club for construction and we already have a pretty good start. I  won't say much more here just to keep the intro short so read on..

The backdrop for my Sn3 exhibition layout has been completed. You can read about it on the C&Sn3 blog here: http://coloradosouthern.blogspot.com/
