PDC (Precision Design Company Easter Egg)

Well I was looking at the instructions for extreme load number three and noticed a little bit of humor.

Look at the end of step 5

It really does look like one though..

If you thought T Scale (1:450) was small check out TY Scale (1:900)

I was just browsing around looking for some interesting railroad things and found this noteworthy one. I am not sure how many people have heard of TY scale (I am sure most have heard of T) but it is small following I will have photos comparing T and TY scale sadly none of them together but they will give you the idea of size.

The largest of these is 4"x7"

Due to a derailment NYS&W SU99 is detouring over the Jersey Northern, here it is departing Franklin N.J. enroot to Port Jervis N.Y. on the Jersey Northern. The Jersey Northern is a freelance point to point HO layout. It connects the NYS&W at Beaver Lake N.J. and Conrail at Port Jervis N. Y., fourteen on line industries generate lots of traffic.

Great work everyone last week! Time to start of this week's photo thread!

As always, we get as much out of your in-process photos as we do the highly polished "all done" shots!

My first Scenery Attempts

Thu, 2015-09-10 08:43 — trainmaster247

Here are some more photos of the scenery for my club layout. This is all in an 18" by 6" scene with backdrops by backdrop junction. This is still the example module I showed awhile ago but more views.

My personal favorite done with flash on an iPhone

One done the same way

My Trip To Kalmbach Publishing

This happened a while ago now but thought it would be interesting to show here. In early June I went to the Model Railroader magazine HQ. Below are some photos of what I saw (and who I met). Overall I met: Alex from Trains Magazine, and Model Railroader: Neil, Cody, Steve and David. (Sorry don't have all last names sorry)

I was able to see all past layouts except the Seaboard Short Line which I was told was sold to a collector.
