Visits to club layouts

Visits to club layouts:

There are lots of clubs that have open houses and some private layouts that are also open to the public at different times. In addition to these there are museums or similar organizations that have model railroads open to the public. I just wonder how many folks have gone on these visits and what attracted them to the places they visited.

I also wondered how many folks have joined a club at one time or another and if no longer a member why they decided against remaining so.

Layout design

Some may have noticed i have posted a few various track plans over the last 6 months attempting to fill my 10' x 20' room. My original plan was to tackle the Northern Pacific Yacolt Branch. After many different plans and attempts I decided to scrap it, I just couldn't make it fit the space without 3 decks and a peninsula.

DOES ANYONE MAKE trolley- traction- interurban- sound decoders ?

DCC - Electrical

Hi MRH friends I am thinking of adding a section to my future model RR devoted to traction and possibly the Montreal And Southern Counties (M&SC) or The Quebec Railway Light & Power (QRL&P) and I am wondering if anyone knows of a manufacturer of decoders having sound/motor decoders or if anyone makes sound files available for trams. Are there any modelers who are modeling one of the above mentioned traction lines or any other for that matter. Thanks for any help my friends. From Emile up here in Quebec Canada.

Large Industries

Tue, 2018-04-24 13:14 — SBrooke

Just brainstorming here to see what ideas other folks have for large multi car industries that could, should or have been modeled.

I have seen these before (brewery, paper mill, steel plant and auto plant) so lets see what the rest of you have for ideas or that you have done yourselves.

Oh and if you've done one of the industries I've already mentioned lets see those pictures too...

Soldering clusters of turnouts?

Tue, 2018-04-24 03:28 — Freedj

I am just getting to the track laying part of my N scale Fall Creek adaptation and I was looking for the general consensus about soldering clusters of turnouts together on the bench before installing them on the layout. I am using atlas code 55 flex and turnouts.
