Does anybody have or know where I can get drawings of HOn3 narrow
gauge wagons and simple locomotives for N track?  I am building little
set-ups with my Grandson and wanted to find some wagon designs and
engines that would fit on  Minitrix 060 and diesel chassis.

Having spent years building my railway and finally got the chance to stand
behind it at an exhibition, I discovered something awful. Exhibiting
railways is boring! I'd far rather be looking than operating. Or better
still building. So I want to sell the railway and get on with ...

I've got a space 10'x20' where the space is confined by walls.  On one
end, there's the rest of the building, which must be kept accessible.  
There's a door 7' from the 20' side, and there should be a walkway to the
rest of the building.  (That 7', though, doesn't need to be ...

diverging is the curved or angle leg of the turnout.  I just reached a
