If you're going to use hollow core doors for a layout..
..Use new ones!
Or, if not new, then at least get some good quality used ones in the right size.
Staggered rail joints measurements info needed
Greetings and salutations model track specialist.
I am planning to hand lay a small uncomplicated switching layout.
Back and Forth Auto Controls for Train Display Need Ideas
I need to set up a display of straight track about 16' long. The trains need to run back and forth automatically.
For several hours a day. Does anyone have any recommendations of what to buy to set this up?

I took some photos of the last operating session at my place. Let's see how things went...
How common are crossovers on industry sidings?
I see the following schematic quite often in layout plans and was curious as to how common they really are in real life? I've never seen one personally. I'm sure they exist.
Although the following is harder to switch, I tend to see these more, especially if the track has been around longer than 30 years.
Pueblo Clearing District HO
Another great layout that is in the Southeast Region, Piedmont Div of the NMRA. Norm's layout is part of Dixie Rails and we had a great weekend operating on a bunch of great layouts.
Questions about Prototype Operation
I've recently begun dismantling my present layout and am at the same time designing a new layout plan I hope to begin construction on soon. Before doing that, one of the MRH readers (thanks Rob from Texas!) suggested that I try running some trains on my new track plan using the virtual train capabilities built into XtrackCad. What great advice that has turned out to be! You think all the bugs are ironed out in a plan, and then you start running trains on it and realize there are issues here and there you never thought about.
