Hornby 8f driver diameter?
I sure hope this is a simple question. Does anyone have a Hornby 8f which they could measure the drivers on? I'm looking at a photo, and they look smaller than many US made models. I'm hoping that's not just the difference between HO and OO. I'm looking for 16.0-16.5 mm ideally.
While I'm at it, if anyone can suggest another common UK or European model with drivers that diameter, I'd be happy to hear about it!
Structures on my WIHLA layout

Coal country on a shelf layout?
IS it possible to model coal country on a shelf layout? I'm having the devil's own time getting the look I desire on a shelf layout. Two feet/thirty inches just isn't cutting it for me. Photos would be helpful as well.

Has anyone heard from them recently?
Layout Tour - LV
Invited by a friend, and I'd like to share and update my layout with everyone as it progresses.
I am working on a layout of the Lehigh Valley Railroad, depicted from the late 60's and into today, had the Lehigh survived. I am trying to focus on the western areas, and have found that despite the huge size, the layout is never big enough....Buffalo, Geneva, and spots here and there.
I hope you enjoy it.
Yeah - SO! I went SHOPPING!
Being such a NOOB in most aspect of model railroading, even though I am (soon to be) 53 years old and have considered it to be my hobby for most of my life, it seems that I have actually done very little modeling! I have built a few buildings, though only two actually got painted. NEVER weathered a piece of rolling stock. NEVER laid ballast. Built a piece of hardshell scenery to try it out, but it never got groundcover or even paint! I have built a few trees, but most of that happened when I was still young and working in HO scale.
Bedford Boomers Train Show Video
I went to a Train Show in Bedford New Hampshire Today. I have been to this one several times before. It's a really good Local show. I video recorded it and posted it to You Tube. Here's the link.. I also have loads of other Model Railroad Videos and Train Videos on You Tube. If You check them out please leave feedback so I know You are from this forum. Thanks, Ron

Transition Era Switching Operations...
The construction on the TS&G has gotten to the point where I can start moving some cars around. I began researching switching operations a couple of months ago and began putting together a car card and switch list system. Although I use my PC to make the car cards, waybills and switch list forms, I'm not using any type of software to generate the lists. I'm trying to keep everything manual. I think I understand how the car card, waybill and switch list system works. My questions though are on actual operations.
