Aberfoyle Junction is the layout that really got me hooked on model railroading. While in their original location, in the late 1970's I accidently discovered this layout. A young 9 year old me was dragged by my parents to an antique market in Aberfoyle, just outside of Guelph, Ontario. I had no idea at the time that on the second floor of a barn on the property was this incredible O scale layout, fully operating! Needless to say, I was hooked for life after watching it all for several hours, mesmerized.

Good morning. I've recently moved, and with the move my layout is in a new garage (that is how we do it in Florida). My garage has an uneven floor. I am considering a new digital level from Home Depot (Empire True Blue Digital Lazer Level) that also calculates grades. Do any of you have experience with such a tool?

Hey Everyone...Im not sure if these been mentioned or discussed here ...  I took time to look and couldnt find anything...My wife brought me home a 4ft LED shop light fixture from Cosco for 39.99.   its suppositly 38 watts, 3700 Lumens, and 4100 K.  Its a tad under 2 inches thick  I have it mounted out in my garage and HOLY COW   its bright   i included 2 pictures  one of the box n one of it lighting up the garage   no other lights are on in there

I am looking to get back into the hobby.  I would like to get some of the new n scale equipment with kadee style couplers.  Is it worth looking at a "train set" for decent running equipment?  Should I avoid these? I'm thinking of a n scale CSX branch line in a spare bedroom on a small budget.  Obviously, no brass!  Any help is appreciated.
