BN 7th and 8th Subdivision Garden Railroad. Layout design and construction. Tuesday, December 31, 2013. Scene Selection What to model and what to leave out? Although I am still very early in the planning stages of layout development, it’s hard to figure out where to cut off specific scenes or industries that I want to model. So far my list of industries and/or scenic features are as follows. More may be added as research develops. Station List of Seventh Sub. Station List of Eight Sub. All the following ...

BN 7th & 8th Subdivision Garden Railroad: Scale & Gauge in Large Scale
http://woodinvill.blogspot.com/2013/04/scale-gauge-in-large-scale.html
BN 7th and 8th Subdivision Garden Railroad. Layout design and construction. Tuesday, April 23, 2013. Scale and Gauge in Large Scale. Here's the numbers between 45mm gauge track and prototype track in 1/29 scale. 565" in 1/29 = 1.94827". 45mm gauged wheel to the left, P:29 gauged on left. A difference of .177". A lot of people don't care about this difference, but to me it's noticeable. Correctly gauged P:29 Track. Small section of hand layed track. 9 Turnout under construction. April 26, 2013 at 12:43 AM.

The Path Valley Railroad: Shapeways
http://pvrr.blogspot.com/2012/05/shapeways.html
The Path Valley Railroad. An N scale model railroad based on the planned Path Valley Railroad in south central Pennsylvania. Saturday, May 26, 2012. As expected the Shapeways cars arrived just in time for the trip to Florida. When I got back I was able to get them painted up and I have assembled one of the three bay cars. Unfortunately one end platform on each of the two bay cars have been damaged, so I will have to rebuild them before I can put them together. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Model Ra...

The Path Valley Railroad. An N scale model railroad based on the planned Path Valley Railroad in south central Pennsylvania. Saturday, June 6, 2015. Republic Locomotive Works finally has enough orders to produce Orbisonia Station, circa 1935. This is good news for the EBT fans who want a model of the station and don't quite have the modeling skills to scratch build. Check it out at the Republic Locomotive Works webpage.

BN 7th & 8th Subdivision Garden Railroad: Picking a modeling era

BN 7th and 8th Subdivision Garden Railroad. Layout design and construction. Monday, April 15, 2013. Picking a modeling era. My other main goal with this railroad is to eventually host operating sessions with fellow modelers on a regular basis; rain, snow, sleet, sun! The beauty of outdoor modeling is you don't have to model the weather it comes naturally. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Modeling the Burlington Northern 1971. View my complete profile.

The Path Valley Railroad: Motivation
http://pvrr.blogspot.com/2014/12/motivation.html
The Path Valley Railroad. An N scale model railroad based on the planned Path Valley Railroad in south central Pennsylvania. Monday, December 29, 2014. Yes, it's been a while. No, I ain't dead yet. I've also ordered some new motive power, this time from AZL. They are running a special right now, a Mikado and a GP7 with a caboose. They should be here Wednesday, so I'll do a review and write-up on both of them then. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. Modeling the EBT Track Scale.

One of the most important building in this complex is, of course, the eight stall roundhouse. He writes about it on his blog. Comparing it to the pictures. That Russ has on his site you can see.

The Path Valley Railroad. An N scale model railroad based on the planned Path Valley Railroad in south central Pennsylvania. Wednesday, December 31, 2014. A knock on the door today brought me the Nickel Plate trio I ordered last week. Here are the pictures:. Besides, they are just too nice to be cut up as donors, so it looks like I may be building a small freight type layout in Z scale instead. Monday, December 29, 2014. Yes, it's been a while.

The Path Valley Railroad. An N scale model railroad based on the planned Path Valley Railroad in south central Pennsylvania. Saturday, August 29, 2015. Real Estate Disputes and Other Matters. My train room is being taken over by closet space. Ever since the charming and lovely Mrs Hades agreed to take up space with me we've been moving things around. What was big enough for one person (me) has proven insufficient for two, so along one wall of the "train room" there is now shelving and clothing. But enoug...
