I decided I'd take on a small (and thus easily completed) project of a 2x4 n scale layout, as I've gotten into collecting N scale sets (think Kato / Micro-Trains for now). I've been playing with HO but my outbuilding which has my HO scale layout is currently filling up with other stuff that needs to be sorted/stored or disposed of/sold.

2024年3月16日 · The N-track club that I belonged to used #4 turnouts for the main lines, but for any yards, we used #6. We didn't have any trouble with the turnouts, they were all Peco turnouts. Even though they were more expensive than the Atlas, they had the positive feel to the throw. Most of our problems with turnouts came as a result of

Hello my name is Paul. This is my first post and I hope to have many more. I am designing a 4x8 Canadian Pacific N scale layout using Kato Unitrack. The layout will be a double sided.

2018年4月9日 · I'm looking at a few options for layout design, and wanted to give this version a try. I'm keen to a double main line, but don't completely care for it doubling back on itself or doing hidden track (thus 4 main lines visible in the same space). Nor do I like the idea of a duckunder or lift out section for a complete around-the

Tn36. Very, very nice indeed. Thanks for sharing and for the images - it's nice to see a layout grow. Isn't it amazing how a little scenery and imagination can change a simple circle into something 'magical' - and proves that you don't need 'bells and whistles' (or points) to make a very nice believable model.

2015年8月11日 · Oh also another tip: container yards are HUGE, even a "small" container facility is bigger than most of our layouts. We can of course selectively compress as we all must, but another option is locating the terminal at the edge of your layout so you can say "oh yes the rest of the yard is just off the table" while only modeling the railroad ...
