I enjoy promoting N scale model railroading every way that I can. If you have questions or comments about anything you see or read on my blog, want to know more about N scale, or just want to say hi, I'd love to hear from you. Please email me at nscaleaddict@gmail.com
You are right about it being an addiction as no amount of train purchases seems to satisfy. I have at least 100 engines and 300 cars on my 4 by 7 layout. All DC - I operate 5 trains at once but it is just unitrack with no scenery as I find I don't like anything blocking my view of the trains.
ReplyDeleteWas wondering what the size of your first complete n-scale layout was. Looking to build something similar and was just curious
ReplyDeleteI helped a friend of mine build a basic HO setup over xmas for his son and had a blast. I went to Caboose Hobbies here in Denver and was over whelmed. I bought N Scale magazine, and others, with your Marias Pass and truly enjoyed the layout. Since then I've started an N layout myself and buying engines, track, rolling stock etc. It's a very nice break from the scale models I build and there is a lot of crossover in the two hobbies.
ReplyDeleteI like the work you do, very simple, clean yet with a certain level of detail that grabs one's attention. Plus it lets you learn techniques without getting in over one's head. Do you have any photo's of your first layout? I would like to see an overhead photo of the whole layout. I really like it. I also like your general modeling technique's, you have some great ideas.
Now that I found your website I'll be checking back on a regular basis. I actually found it by viewing your video on youtube. It was nice to see it running instead of looking at the pictures in the magazine. I look forward to future articles.

Nice work on the fork lifts! I've built a few GHQ kits myself (I like the snow plow kits).
ReplyDeleteWhen you build forklifts without an operator sitting in them, you might want to model them with the forks down at ground level. Leaving them in the air unattended is an OSHA violation!

I'm looking forward to watching your Council Bluffs layout. I'm currently scratch building a tanker loading platform for my N scale layout which might interest you. I'll send you some pics when I get the chance.

John, it was good to meet you and talk with you a bit about your layout. Thanks for taking the time to chat with my friend and his young son. I look forward to watching you build your current project.
