A long time ago I'd asked for input on a layout design.  I'd taken it all into consideration and quietly worked on it in the background.  Finally trains started moving yesterday and everything seems to be working well.  Here's an update as a way to say thank you to everyone who helped me get this far and an encouragement to all you who are slowly working on your layout.  Don't give up!

Hello Members!

Is there a mathematic formula to determine a radius, or a chart.  that describes how to determine a radius for a layout by sizes. 24" X 36"; 36" X 48" etc.  My goal is to develop an ON30 Dog Bone type layout on the smallest surface space possible.

Thanks in advance for your assistance'..

Signs, posters, railings and figures.. About complete now.. Here´s a video how-to build it:

Anyone been to Boston Abbey in Uk btw? I would guess the platform doesn´t look like this nowadays?

Today my wife and I had the pleasure of visiting Neil Erickson's Umauma Railway ( Neil's Blog ) just outside of Hilo Hawaii. Neil is a long time friend from this forum and this is the sixth of my MRH Friends layouts we have been able to visit.

After a picturesque drive down UP the backroads outside of Hilo, we arrived at Neil's farm. It's a quaint location not far from the coast, in an area that used to be vast sugar cane fields.
