    I have started out with a new layout and I have set up the track on a foam base. I then added a bridge and cut a lake/pond. I then realized that i hadn't planned what buildings to put. I'm hoping for some ideas for what to put around the track. It is HO and a 4x6 since i don't have much space. I...
  4. HO Scale
    This is my current plan for my 4x12 layout. Outside are 22 inch radius curves, and the inside are 18 inch.

  5. HO Scale
    Hi everyone. I'm still finalizing my HO track plan & there's a spot where a bridge will carry one track over another. I wish to minimize the vertical separation to avoid steep grades in the vicinity, since the tracks have to meet up again. Right now I've got it down to just over 4" railhead to...

  11. Beginner Q & A
    My son would like to start making model trains (HO scale) but I'm not really able to help him. I'm somewhat handy, but I have no experience in model trains, so I can't just teach him. I'd like to get a book that is age-appropriate for him to get started in model railroading. We have some old...
