Update on BNML Layout Progress - Golden Spike!

Sat, 2014-04-19 19:41 — Bill Brillinger

Tonight, April 19, 2014, at 8:34pm, the Golden Spike was laid on the BNML. The last spike was appropriately located at the junction of all 3 railroads; the CP, CN/BNML, and the BNSF, at Noyes MN.

Ok, actually there are no spikes on my layout. Golden caulking? Maybe not.

Anyway... Progress has been made!

Photo shows the last section to be laid.

Track Plan Feedback Wanted

Sat, 2014-04-19 10:37 — Joe Baker

Hi All,

I'm relatively new to MRRing and understanding prototypical operations.

I want to model a branch line with an Ethanol Plant and a Paper Mill in the 1990s to present timeframe (I grew up near both of these industries). I prefer to freelance but want the branch line and the industries to make operational sense.

In the last couple of years I have built the layout below.

How to make cars roll as well as Kato well cars

Fri, 2014-04-18 05:39 — da_kraut

Hello everybody,

I bought a set of Kato well cars in HO.  Hooked the three cars together and could not believe how well these cars roll.  What is it with the trucks and axles that Kato uses that makes them roll that well?  I use the truck tuner and P2K or IM steel axles as a rule on all my equipment.  Unfortunately nothing rolls as good as the Kato cars. 

Thank you for the replies.

Future On30 Layout

Thu, 2014-04-17 22:55 — hobbes1310

I have been  thinking about this for awhile switching to ON30  from HO. What interests me in is the added heft of these models,higher level of details and the more close  up rail fanning view.
