I've decided to take the plunge and expand my On30 TMMC into the remaining available space in my art studio/train room. I've been doodling some new plans and they all involve evicting my poor, dust-gathering N scale layout from its current spot in the corner. For those not familiar with the TMMC layout, it started out as a 3'x6' caboose chaser a little over three years ago and it just keeps growing. Edit 2/9/15: Once again I have revised the track plan for Thunder Mesa, this time to make room for my portable On18 Calico layout currently under construction (MRH thread: https://forum.mrhmag.com/post/the-calico-gold-co-a-portable-minilayout-in-on18-12199378 ). This plan fixes several other problems as well by widening the center aisle and eliminating some hidden track. Full write up with some notes on operations here: http://thundermesaminingco.blogspot.com/2015/02/fitting-it-all-in-revising-thunder-mesa.html 📷 The right-hand peninsula portion of the layout is nearing completion and the layout sections along the wall are currently under construction. The particulars: Scale and gauge: On30 1:48 Minimum radius: 15" Ruling grade: 3% (6% on Big Thunder branch) Track: Peco On30 code 100 Local: Somewhere in the Great American Southwest Era: 1890 ~ 1910 Control: DCC Overall size: 15' x 8.5' Special Features: Towering red rock scenery, lighting effects, animation, sound Operations: Once complete, the layout will be able to operate in a continuous run display mode, or a more realistic point to point operation between Thunder Mesa and San Lorenzo using the passing siding and turntable there as if they existed independently in both locations. The railroad exists to move silver and gold ore from the mines at Thunder Mesa and Calico to the wider world beyond the layout. The line also moves general freight and passengers via a daily mixed, and, since the railroad runs through a veritable Nature's Wonderland, excursion trains filled with curious tourists help round out the schedule.

Some time ago, I built a little American N scale layout called "August Yard'. Although I get rid of most of the layouts I've built, this one has stayed with me as a favourite. Looking at it now, it's not fantastic I know, and with the things I've learned since that time, I think I could improve on it - but it was fun to build, the first American themed layout I had built, and one that gave a lot of pleasure to operate too. All 4 feet of August Yard If I remember rightly, the train consisted of a loco (my Rutland RS1) and three random cars,which entered the scene from the hidden fiddle track at the rear. These were spotted, and cars removed, according to dice throws. It is only 4 feet long by around 8 inches deep, originally built on top of a pine shelf from the local B&Q. As such, definitely a 'micro' and was featured by the late great Carl Arendt in his book 'Small Layout Scrapbook' (for which I was incredibly flattered). Anyway, I have sold all of my N scale stock, including the Rutland RS1 which started it all off, and the time has come to part with the little layout. I'd rather not break it up for scrap, so I'm offering for free to anyone who is interested and can collect from Nottinghamshire, or the TVNAM show at Armitage in June. Hopefully somebody might like to get some play out of it before it meets the great layout scrapheap in the sky. I can't test it but know it was all working fine last time it was used and it has been stored in a dry garage in it's dust box since then. And anyway, it's free!
Hey guys, I've just begun laying the roadbed and trackwork for a small HO scale switching layout, and although not new to the hobby (mostly been weathering and detailing rolling stock) - this is my first layout in a long time. Here is the strange dillema I am facing: My layout is built atop 2" blue foam boards, and although sufficient at reducing train noise, I decided I wanted a trace of roadbed for the mainline. I purchased some N scale cork roadbed strips, and before permanently placing them onto the foam, I found that they went even further to reduce the "rolling sound" of a boxcar I'm using to test trackwork. So, I went ahead and glued the cork roadbed ontop of the foam (using white Elmer's glue), and ran some tests tonight. Much to my surprise, the sound is much louder. This left me wondering what had happened. My assumption is that the cork roadbed absorbed the white glue and had "hardened", and before I decided to rip up the cork and start over, I ran another test. Here is what I found: Track placed directly on blue foam (no roadbed): Low Noise Track placed on N scale cork ontop of foam (no glue): Extremely Low Noise Track placed on N scale cork glued onto foam: Extremely Loud Noise Can anyone with experience in this area tell me what went wrong? I thought about the cork absorbing the Elmer's glue, but then I realized it would absorb glue and harden anyway once I get around to ballasting track. Right? I'm left scratching my head, and was hoping you can guide me in the right direction. I'd like to strive to achieve the "whisper quiet" noise of cork roadbed laying ontop of the blue foam (without glue), but not sure if the problem will introduce itself again once I ballast the track. Here are the results of tonight's "roll test": 📷 I guess once I saw how quiet some freight cars rolled on the cork before I had glued it to the foam, I decided to use the cork and laid down a generous amount of Elmer's glue to secure it. What a surprise when I found out the extremely higher noise level. Any ideas or tips? Thanks everyone!
