I found this story on TheBlaze.com  Seems like an isolated incident but makes me wonder how our rail fanning activities will be curtailed in the future. . .

Homage to the Overland Route

Tue, 2011-05-31 16:49 — Bindlestiff

Boomer Flats is my homage to the Overland Route crossing of the Sierras.  It's a town not unlike Nevada City, Ca or even Dutch Flats but of course totally fictitious.  The mainline passes through town and then exits the layout through a tunnel that passes through the backdrop into a staging yard.

Easy Model Railroad Inventory How: Operations #1

Tue, 2011-05-31 12:49 — Bob Langer

I have had some requests to include a how to about the operations functions of Easy Model Railroad Inventory. I will be quite honest; I started out developing an inventory program to be used for insurance purposes. You’ll notice the word operation does not appear in the program name. The title is Easy Model Railroad Inventory. Some of you, I have noticed, like to refer to it as EMRI, which I actually find flattering, though I have not gotten used to it yet.

Cripplebush Rubber Rocks: Your Experiences/Pics/Duration of?

Mon, 2011-05-30 14:36 — Capt. Grimek

I'm considering Cripplebush's rubber rocks for my mountain range.  I need to decide soon whether to use plaster castings or not.  If they look as realistic in real life as they do in pics I'm impressed with the product.

My main concern is that the laytex rubber will hold up to household heating, cooking moisture, etc. over many years without drying/cracking/powdering.

This area of the layout will be extremely possible to work on once the roundhouse and turntable are installed.
