The latest stock train made this unusual delivery to the Morris feed lot.  Apparently one of the cows, in the pen second from the right, has fainted after seeing the delivery...

The fantastical figures were a Father's Day gift from the wife.

“Crew Call” is a new TrainMasters TV series on operation.  As a ten-year old growing up in a railway town, Bob Fallowfield could often be found down by the tracks.  When it came time to build a railroad in his own basement, there was no question in his mind that it would recreate the places, trains and operations he remembers from growing up as a kid in Woodstock, Ontario.  In this segment we’ll see models of some of the trains that passed through town, and sample some operations on the layout.

More great engines from Intermountain.  They run great.  

Hello all. I am returning to model railroading after a 40 year absence. I have started a small 36" x 80" N scale door layout for now to learn the new ways of model railroading and to get the hang of wiring and terrain building as well. I have a 16' x 16' area for a later layout that like most, have plans within plans so to speak. My first question is " When planning a layout, do you also try to plan for signals and wiring per se or do you build a track plan and then worry about signals later on "? This unfortunately leads to my second question/statement.
