Installation Digitrax Sound decoder SDN144AO
In Atlas GP40-2. Seems as though this is reasonably straight forward. Never tried this before. Should I give the job to a decoder installer [they are many miles from me] Thoughts? Thanks. Tom
Easement from straight to curved track
I'm presently planning and starting to build my next layout. I have heard of and read about the Easement transition going from a straight track to a radius track. My question is what is a good basic radius to use for the Easement? For example, if I'm using a 36" radius would I double the radius to 72"? Would I triple it to 108"? And so on. Any information on this subject would be appreciated.
Thank you
Scott
Are RS3 RS11 chassis interchangable
Are Atlas/Kato HO RS3 and RS11 the same, what about RS36 and RS3 ? Thanks Zeke
Will any small layout owners please stand up?
Another thread raises the topic, "Do small (i.e. less than room filling, or LTRF) layouts get enough respect?" The OP there felt that the hobby would die unless the magazines gave more coverage to downsizing.
Are you interested about Europe???

BMJK Layout video 2016
Hi!
I had the opportunity to visit Borlange MJ club in Sweden last weekend.
A very nice layout with equally nice members made the video recording great fun.
Buckle up and enjoy the ride! 
What do you do on a Rainy Thursday?
Well if you are home with a sick 5 year old, you try a new scenery technique!
Over the last several months I've been following and watching Luke Towan's Boulder Creek Railroad vidoes on YouTube. He recently did one on HO hay bales and since I need some hay bales for my N scale layout, I decided to see how they scaled out. I gathered my materials, poured some coffee, and ran the video again to make sure I knew what I was doing.
CP's Area H Spur Update #2
It's been four months since my last update and in that time I've made decent progress on the Area H Spur. Most important was constructing the spur lead/staging track. As you'll notice in the photos, my aim was to use lightweight materials for the layout base. Simple steel brackets screwed into the walls and a coroplast (1/4" corrugated plastic sheet) serving as the base material.
