I wish I modeled modern N scale
I wish I modeled modern N scale. No I mean it, I really do.
We just returned from Japan, where I was able to ride some trains, do some rail-fanning, and visit a number of hobby shops in Tokyo (although that wasn't the main purpose of our visit). Although mostly Japanese prototypes, the selection of N gauge items were amazing - the range of vehicles, and things like shipping containers were mind boggling.
On Staycation
I've been on vacation/staycation for the past week, its nice to have a little time of work to pursue other things, oh of course I have plenty of work to do around the house, but I also want to have some fun while on staycation, So I made a trip over to Dana's RR Supply and ran a train, couldn't afford to buy anything, since we were surprised last Saturday that we needed to put a couple of tires on the car, (tires are sure getting expensive these days), and after buying gas, purchasing a locomotive last week, I wasn't doing much of anything else! But I did run a train!
US based Japanese stockists
Guys wonder if you can help me out.
I am struggling to find a particular Japanese loco here in the UK (or in Japan for that matter!) do any of you know of any US based model shops that supply Kato Japanese locos.
This is a bit of a diversion from my old B&O stuff and the language barrier is a huge problem, at least I could understand most of you guys across the pond 
West Coast Heavy
There seems to be a lot of US west coast members, discussions, model rail lines on MRH forum. Is this because MRH staff are west coast folks or is the west coast a hot bed of model railroad activity?
Joining a model railroad club
I have a lot of childhood / armchair railroad experience, but now am ready to start building my own layout. I'm thinking of joining the local club - I would certainly learn a lot and get lots of hand on experience.
The layout is freelance, but it is very unconvincing. It's supposed to be a fictional northeast layout, set in the mid-fifties. There are so many anachronisms, and the structures, scenery, and rolling stock don't have a cohesive fit or feel. I was surprised how much this grated on my nerves, and it really bothered me.
Easy Model Railroad Inventory Easy Model Railroad Inventory - Potential Addition #5
Easy Model Railroad Inventory currently allows users to make a copy of an existing rolling stock and locos record. Would this type of functionality be useful with:
1. Structures?
2. Library?
3. Electronics?
4. Consignee/Destination?
5. Add image field to library maintenance? Picture of the book.
Please respond for each selection. Yes or no only, for example 1. No, 2. Yes. If you respond maybe that will be counted as a no.
Easy Model Railroad Inventory Easy Model Railroad Inventory - Potential Addition #4
End date. A new field in addition to the build and rebuild dates. This could be used to note when the item was sold or scrapped by the railroad. Not by you!
Please respond for each selection. Yes or no only. If you respond maybe that will be counted as a no.
