I thought it was time to share some photos of the 1/300 scale D&RGW equipment I’ve been working on. What you’re seeing here is completely operational and made its first run on the test track January 26, 2021. I started this project seriously about a month ago, but I’d been considering it for the past year.  This scale, 1/300 is just about 50% the size of N scale. You can see the Nn3 car I’ve placed in the photos for scale, and the schilling is the size of a US quarter.

Just curious how does the magazine write ups on layout features figure main line trackage? I have a single main line with passing sidings. Is main line just calculated without thee passing siding or is passings also considered main line trackage. 

Is any part of yards considered as well? 

I'm trying to document some of this since its already been asked a few times and I want to be correct. I know HO is about 60.62 feet to the scale mile too. 

Thanks!

The NMRA has announced the cancellation of the 2021 convention in Santa Clara.   They are hoping to put together a virtual event instead.   I do hope the national staff use this opportunity to leverage the technology to increase the participation in the national convention and demonstrate how they can adapt to the challenges present by the pandemic.

Hopefully, a virtual offering is made available as a standing option at future conventions irregardless if a physical convention occurs or not.
