Before & After:
My passenger cars need some people so I ordered and received a couple packages from China and was pleasantly surprised that the figures are not badly done.
NMRA Standards
I have a strange question? My club wants me to make my new modular layout in NMRA standards so I can put my modular into their layout? But I want to do I different layout type so I can get more onto my layout?
ALPINE RAILROAD IN NJ-LOOKING FOR SUGGESTIONS
I am asking the MHR community for some help in solving a problem I created with my choice of layout scenery. My layout was originally conceptualized 25 yrs ago as a much smaller layout with no intention of adding a backdrop or anything like that. I started this current version with the old idea then expanded it because I had the room to do so. Although I do plan on adding a backdrop at some point, I didn't take this into consideration when I stuck with the basics of how I originally thought the scenery would look.

Philosophy of changing major scales
I posted this over on the Proto 48 list serve, but wanted some thoughts from people here in MRH that have had major shifts in their modeling scales over the years.
First off, I've modeled in HO, N, and large scale over the life of my modeling career. Without further ado, here is my rambling and thoughts.
Hello group,
I've been following Gene's blog for a few years now about his adventures into P48 and thought I would join this group and get some ideas/opinions.
Michigan Southern in V-Scale
I've been hammering away at a representation of the Michigan Southern in Trainz:A New Era for about a year. Here, the MSO 907, a GP9 I commissioned from Jointed Rail, runs westbound from Sturgis to White Pigeon, crossing Klinger Lake Road.
Super new! Intro and a question.
Hi all,
I'm super new to MRR and have eyed them forever, but now am in a place where I can start this hobby, both timewise, moneywise and spacewise.
I just turned 50, so I'm not young, but at least I'm proof that "new" people do still actively join the hobby! :)
I have purchased the materials for my first small scale tabletop layout (based on benchwork from the internet). It will be 3' by 5'.
This layout will be quite portable and really just a "toe in the MRR water" so to speak.
2018
Popped the cork to mark the start of the New Year. Only one resolution -- no more threads on death of the hobby.
