The frame work (1X4) is done. Now I have a couple of questions. I have one
section that is 2 feet wide and I want to have this as my yard. With about 5
rows of track. In some pictures of model railroads that I have I have seen it
appears that there is a nice diagonal line made ...

Has there ever been a RTR Clan Pacific?

I'm on holiday for the week from Saturday and will be near Ludlow in
Shropshire and wondered if there was any railway/model railway attractions
nearby that would be worth a look.

I'm think of adding a small narrow guage line to my layout, similar to
the Blaenau Ffestiniog station where former BR meets the Ffestiniog
Railway. (Yes, in God's Country - Wales)

I am trying to set up a Brill Trolley display.  It has to

Here is a silly newbie question that I don't have experience or room enough
to answer by experiment:  How does pulling power scale?  FOr example, a
nice prototype 90 car stack train may take three locomotives.  How many
model locomotives does it take to move a 90 car train in, ...

I have no connection with seller

have been scouring the AMRM for the cheapest deals and find S.A. Hobby
Centre to be the best .... so far.
e.g. Their Peco Code 100 25packs are $95 and their SL90's are $59.95 - both
seem very good prices relatively speaking.

I have big aspirations and a small space.  Room size is a little smaller
than 7'x11'.  Actually, I am looking for a used winterized trailer in the
8'x12' range.  Option two, I build a shed.  (Trailer would be easier to
bring with me when I move, and I could even bring the layout to ...

Just received the new edition of BRM. On page 37 is a photo of a
preproduction shot of Bachmann's forthcoming Ivatt 4MT Mucky Duck.  It looks
very good indeed!  The gap between the cab roof and the roof of the tender
cab is commendably narrow. So narrow in fact that I imagine the ...

I'm trying to find a decent steam locomotive model that would have
acted as a switcher on the Baltimore & Ohio. Would that typically have
been in the 0-6-0 configuration? I'm also having a hard time tracking
down a manufacturer of such a model. I thought Bachmann made them but
