All - I need some guidance. I keep seeing all these exceptional layouts with figures (people) in work related clothing or period clothing. I am modeling N scale (30's to late 50's), but cannot find the figures I am looking for that era. Any advise or links to order on line?

Thanks

I imagine within this august forum, and with the depth of knowledge demonstrated by all concerned - someone can probably answer this question.

Has anyone scratch built track signals using LED's and fibre pipe?

Okay - I am going to be forced to ask another dumb question.

What is a "chainsaw"? And please don't tell me it is a prop used in a series of movies that usually have the word Texas in the title.

I have seen several references to "chainsaw" on this site and know it has something to do with layouts - but as a relative newbe to model railroading - I must confess my ignorance.

Thanks

Bob

Okay, after having my interest tweeked from reading a couple of posts about making molds and resin castings, I read Making Your Own Castings by Laurie Green.

Now I probably have more questions than answers. It took a little time for it to sink in that Mr. Green was coming to us from Austrailia, and that his "Pinksil" and "Easy Cast" materials were probably only available "down under" and would probably cost a small fortune to have shipped here.

Pretty much new to the model railroading experience, I have become facinated with making my own structures. I started out using balsa wood, then switched to styrene, but am having trouble finding plans for structures and have had to pretty much design my own structures from pictures etc.....

Are there plans out there for yard buildings, houses, gateman towers or switching towers, etc. that are available on the web that I can download? I model in N-Scale, but could convert HO plans if that is all there are. Thanks.

Hello - I am new to this, so if I have picked the wrong spot to ask this question - please advise.

Awhile ago, I found what I believe was called the "5 turnout game". At the time, I got called away and never had a chance to bookmark the site.

If anyone has ever heard of this game, and has a link, please advise.

Thanks
