Soliciting Yard Design ideas
If you enjoy layout design, maybe you can help me. This a space for a yard at the end of a wye. (HO scale) Where the 2 24" radii meet cannot be changed. So the entry to the yard cannot be centered. The spacing of the yard relative to the rest of the layout cannot be changed. The only other thing that needs to be accommodated is a coaling tower represented by the rectangle at the bottom left with 3 tracks sticking out. The yard is 22 by 83".
My objectives are to:
-Use the wye for turning trains
Thank you all - my wife's condition
I don't want to hijack the "Roku" thread so I'm going to let you all know here about my situation.
On December 23, 2018 my wife of 38 years asked me to take her to the hospital (1 mile away) as she was having chest pains. While in the ER she had a stroke that over the period of a couple of days when from very mild to her left side of her body being paralyzed. The clot was blocking 90% of the artery.
Resizing a photo...from 1272x790, so the entire photo posts to my new blog....which is still private.
How do I resize a photo for posting on a blog?

PASSING, A GREAT MODELER
This morning I was notified by a list member that our long time moderator Denny Surufka passed away last month from injuries in a motorcycle accident. The only information I have found so far was multiple postings on fujix-forum.com. And last night on Early Rails. First postings were June 13th and then on June 21st was confirmation that he had passed away. His web page and Facebook page have not been updated.
Saturn / NASA Rocket Program and our trains
Just yesterday I was reminded of the current extortionary news coverage of the history of our space program. I've been watching it also.
There was a time when I considered the links that might be made between that space program and our model railroads.
Cost of sound cards
I converted my 3 locos to DC. Removal of sound cards and wired direct. Really work sweet with the Varipulse throttle. So I'm a happy camper.
TrainMasters TV and Roku
Is there a way to watch TMTV on Roku without using a third party app? I can cast it from my iPad to my tv using an app for Roku or by using my Apple TV,but it would be easier to just use Roku directly,if it’s possible.
