Hi,
New here and like it. The howtos are great. Just wish I had
found the tortiose install howto before I did 52 machines at our club.
Velcro can be almost as good as duct tape.
I am a "rubbergauger" a very expensive affliction.

N scale on a door in the garage: 52 points

HO scale in the shop: 300+ points

How about 2000' of 7-1/2" gauge on 80 acres?
3486800 points.
Hope to learn more and maybe share some to.
Thanks Bob

I thought there may be a numeric correlation between the size of your layout and the length of something else you own Exclamation

Hi,
I didnt build the 0-4-0 3-3/4" scale 11 ton Porter.
It was built by Ken Roeh in Yakima Wa.

All I have built is the railroad so far.
2000'" and 4 bridges. Going to get 2500" more rail
this weekend.

You can see some of the progress at:
www.trainweb.org/crnr

Attached is the latest creation of Roeh's.
