Today was the local train show - and sadly it was the worst ever. Small, (it moved from the local high school to a small hotel), without many vendors (I wanted some terrain material, and nobody had any!), and the timing was bad - it was the same day as the Hookset show, located across state.

Clearly the timing meant a lot of venders that used to come to ours were, well, across state.

Hello all.

This is my first video of the layout that I am building. I figured that this would be easier than trying to make a track plan at this stage. Just to many other things to do at the moment. Still lots of work to do on all aspects of the layout, but things are moving along. The track plan leaves a lot to be desired, but it's about all I can do in the space I have available. My real world interchange/parent company is Canadian Pacific. Only one small extension to add on and then benchwork will be complete.I hope I don't bore you.

I have read a bit about using spline roadbed and right now I use two splines of clear pine space with spacers. I use risers (between the splines) as needed. The spline is attached to each side of the risers to secure it in place. But if you are making a solid roadbed 2 inches thick of 1/4 inch hardboard how do you secure it to risers?

It seems that the federal government in Canada is intruding into our hobby.Floquil and Poly scale will get very hard to find.I personally have no luck with water based paint so I will be in trouble.It looks like we will be turned into criminals smuggeling paint into Canada.I will update this info when I know more
