Will a Walther's Cornerstone Union City roundhouse work with a Walther's 130' turntable, or do I need to change to the modern roundhouse or a smaller turntable? Thanks, John

I see what you mean, I have access all around except for the left side of the layout. I can reach from the end on the left side but I don't think I can make it all the way to the corner depending on the height that I make the layout. I still want to add some tracks that will take my trains...

Here is a rough plan for my layout. Still have a few more sidings to add but it's coming together slowly, Would like to hear your thoughts and opinions on the layout. If you need more info you can view my other threads.

New Yard Layout Here is another layout with the back looking a little more interesting. Still not 100% with this but starting to like it a little bit more.

Started to work on drawing the layout with a lot of inspiration from many sources. I am really stuck on the back of the layout though. I like the way everything else is coming together but need to address a few issues. I would like to have the tracks run close together along the back so that I...

I was wondering which turntable is the best for an N-Scale layout. Can I also mix Atlas code-55 with a say a Peco TT. What are my limitations. Thanks, John

New Yard for Layout Here is a yard I have designed for the back of the layout. Please let me know what you think and if I should change anything. The main line is the top two tracks and the bottom most track. I still have a long way to go on this design. The overall dimensions of the area shown...

Ironhorseman, Thanks for the great idea about the Cumberland & Susquehanna. I actually picked up the 1970 May issue and found that track plan quite nice. I will base a lot of my line on that plan with a little free-hand as well. I would still like to run a dual main line but might have to...

joed2323, I can agree with you, I would probably get bored running trains in circles. I just would like to have a couple of long runs. I plan on having a nice yard and turntable along with some sort of coal mine to keep my mind occupied with moving cars and loads.

otiscnj, Thanks for the reply, I tried opening the attachment by double clicking it at work and was able to open it with no problems. I will check when I get back home as well. As to why I want to get back into MRR. When I was a kid my neighbor & I constructed a nice size HO layout at his...

Hello Everyone, I have been thinking about starting a model railroad and am looking for some layout ideas. I have attached a small layout of what I am looking for. I would love any ideas that you can give me and possible track plans. I am going to be modeling in N-scale and look forward to...
