Re: My 4x8 layout
I see you used cork sheet in a couple spots, Make sure you have a good way to hold that down when you do scenery. I've got some cork sheet under my yard and when I started doing scenery it swelled up and now I have ripples in the middle of my yard. I've been removing as much sheet as I could before ...

Don't worry, SD80MAC pointed that out. I wondered when how long before you pointed that outJ T wrote:Meme fail. It should say "He saw a heritage unit!" and then the "see, nobody cares" makes more sense with that particular scene.

Re: HBD @ 142.9
You are right Milinemike the HBD at 142.9 has been at that location since the 80's when the line was still double track. the new one at 129.8 and 155.6 are new and give the speed. But 142.9 gave the speed for one day no big deal I guess. Also the diamond at Schoolcraft is rumored to be replaced for...

Re: LSRC/D&M 975 in Alpena
Not all of LSRC/D&M 975 is gone forever. Today I picked up from a friend, the Horn that 975 wore when she worked for D&M and maybe B&M(I can't confirm the B&M Part) When I get a chance, I will try to get a recording of the horn

Re: G&G Trains
If you are into N its the place to go. Lots of stuff, good prices, He also had a decent G scale selection. Its not too hard to find, but it is run out of the Gary's garage so you'll end up driving up his driveway towards his house.

Re: SP 4449 Harlem Shake
What Doyle has done to that PA is incredible, it was a basket case, a frame and that's it, no sheet metal, electricals, trucks, air system, controls, nothing but a nose and a frame.

Re: My Layout - Ludington Northern Railway
Its your layout, so you do what you want obviously. With all that inaccessible track, you're just begging for problems, and that is where they are going to happen. You're going to be spending all your time trying to get cars that have derailed, rather than enjoying your layout. Practice Safe CSX Th...
