Cloud simulator for the Milan branch

Do you belong to a club and have a home layout? If so why? I do and am happy to be doing so. I have several reasons. They are: I can do things in one place I cannot at the other.. The club while very tolerant of everyone had to establish some parmeters. The membership established a New England railroad set in 1985.This allows me to own modern equipment and many New England RR diesels I can’t justify ion my home steam era layout.

Boston area hobby shops or train related things to see.

I am going to Boston in July for a concert. I understand Charles Ro. is in the area. Is it worth a visit? Anything else in the area to see?

Perfect photo day if... Is there anyone who can

Wed, 2018-03-07 06:58 — peter-f

Is there someone who can (in the northeast snowstorm) photograph a bunch of switch heaters in operation?

I know... who wants to travel in the mess? But this IS a perfect day for this subject.

No doubt others will join me in thanks.

where do i find code 100 rail

Tue, 2018-03-06 19:37 — mallard

Looking for just the rail for a couple projects that I want to start. The search on ebay has been fruitless and the search online has gone no where. I had a place to go and get it but they retired a couple years ago. Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks

Mike

I really like this train despite its outside my primary interest in modeling so I get it out and enjoy it once in awhile. I set it out at the Rocky Mountain Train Show last weekend and thought I might take it out for some glamour shots.

Digital (and removable) backdrop

Mon, 2018-03-05 21:09 — rrfaniowa

I thought I’d share a photo showing my just installed backdrop. This photo basically shows the whole layout with the exception of about five feet on the left side.

The backdrop was produced digitally in Photoshop and printed on a large format printer in five separate sections. The sections are simply clipped on the top and bottom of the underlying masonite backdrop. This way if I decide to change layout themes the backdrop can be easily removed. All I need to do now is seal the seams and do a little extra work around the river crossing.
