Hello Mike,
I found your site after Googling “On30 Layout” and was quite impressed with your postings.
Growing up in the 50’s and 60’s I was fortunate to have parents who supported by hobby of Model Trains.
In the 80’s as life settle down, I again modeled and was fascinated by the new Command Control and Sound that was just starting to be a big part of the hobby.
Moved to a bigger house - but had put my trains away until know- and what brought me back into the hobby was Bachmann and their inexpensive, but well detailed Shays and Climax.
No layout out, but wife has consented to by building layout in 3 car garage.
I have been in the acquiring stages, and would love to share expeniences with you.
Thanks for listening,
Alan from Merced, CA

Hey, thanks to those that liked the design, it took forever (we had originally planned to unveil it at the start of May, but i never was happy with it).

Cool idea. Have you ever used pipe cleaners to make trees?

Comment on Rail Joiners for Model Engineering On30 Code 83 Track by Loathar

Thanks for the tip! I’ve been using Atlas N scale joiners for my HO rail, but they are kind of a pain to get them to fit. The ME ones look like they leave plenty of room for fish plates.

Hello Mike,
I stumbled across your website this evening and I have to say I am impressed.
I have built a few layouts over the years and am currently working on a new HOn3 layout in a 14′ x 15′ spare room.
As I went through the site I noticed that you use many of the techniques that I use and it is nice to see someone else get such good results with them.
Good luck with your layout and keep on buildin’.

Sincerely,

Kevin Barnett

yea, I got some of “your” magazines. Someday, when I have more than a minute, I will go down and see which ones they are. I believe they 86-90 vintage.
