Hello everyone

Quick question. I have seen that in modern times (post 70s), there has been some sort of standardization on having the sidewalk corners depressed.

In 70s and earlier photos (LA area), I have seen the corners being depressed by having a different slope/contour (appearing almost non standardized vs modern equivalents).

Hey all,

I just published my first layout video update. So far I have been told that I should relax a little to ease my tone of voice (I don't normally sound this bad) and to make things flow a little better. I'm looking for suggestions/advice/comments so I can improve things without making myself look like a fool even more.

Just curious how does the magazine write ups on layout features figure main line trackage? I have a single main line with passing sidings. Is main line just calculated without thee passing siding or is passings also considered main line trackage. 

Is any part of yards considered as well? 

I'm trying to document some of this since its already been asked a few times and I want to be correct. I know HO is about 60.62 feet to the scale mile too. 

Thanks!

Even though I don’t run passenger equipment on any regular basis, I wanted to have an old station for my layout, it has seen better days, bit of modernization but retaining the old charm of days gone by. There are many station kits available to suit the design requirements, however a winter project with a little more involvement was what I wanted to get into. For inspiration I chose a CNoR third class station like one sitting in a field just a mile down the road here in Emo, Ontario. This, the old Barwick Station, was a perfect candidate.
