A Beginners Beginnings

Hello everyone,

I have made a few comments on some posts here and there, but I have been trolling the forums for almost a year.  I have been wanting to get into modeling for quite some time but have found the cost to be quite high.  So I did the first thing that most frugal (can be read as poor) folks do, I hit up Craigslist.

City of Industry Layout

CITY OF INDUSTRY LAYOUT Project 02-12

Here is my second project, and it is a departure from my previous plan to begin design on the MP/TP operations in New Orleans, namely the Race St. Yard, and Annunciation St. Passenger Terminal, with some of the surrounding industry which the railroad served, i am still in the very rough planning stage for it still gathering information and maps and photographs of the area for the time period during the war and just afterward, pre-NOUPT era.

Posting photos

How do I post images? I tried and only get little boxes. Please help. Mike

Does anybody know what happened to the <micro/small layouts for model railroaders> website? i can't seem to get to it. I hope it has not disappeared

Layouts in shared spaces

This question is those that have some sort of layout in a space that is shared with other non-modeling uses. How is it working? Do you share the space with someone else, or is the space all yours?

Hello Wisconsin

I'm curious if there are any members in N-scale from Wisconsin on here, specifically the east central region around Sheboygan who'd be interested in a round robin type group for weekly work sessions & future operations? 

Looking for James Powell

Many years ago I was conversing with a chap named James Powell. He was building an HO layout called the Wiscasett,Travino and South Western. We both shared advertising signs etc and ideas. That was about 2003 and since then James sold his layout ,moved into making the coolest pet kennels and then onto theme park set design and manufacture.

Well its finally finished (mostly, Benchwork drawings would need to be done before construction begins), and here it is for your use if you want it, and would love to get your feedback. The track plan is drawn in AutoDesk 2006 for anyone that wants it, contact me at guymartin1956@gmail.com.

Off to the Emerald City...

  Tomorrow I zip up I-5 to the National Narrow Gauge Convention.  This will be my first ever event of this type and I don't know quite what to expect.  I am not a narrow gauger, but I have heard that there will be some spectacular modeling on display, and some wonderful layouts to tour, and clinics, lots of clinics...full report when I get back.
