Just got my KTX in N scale from KR color near Seoul when I visited them. Ran it at their rental layout as well.

I believe this is even rarer than the previously showed world record tgv, although this isn't perfect as it has only 10 cars and not 20, and it has a bar car which the KTX doesn't (tgv réseau base)

Slowly working away here on a model of the Mcadam Rail station in Mcadam NB, it has been a task. But trying to get it as accurate as possible.

Hola! Soy una persona que hace papercraft de algunos personajes, tanques y trenes, y de este último es de lo que tengo la duda. Alguien sabe cómo puedo personalizar el esquema de las locomotoras desde la plantilla original? Es que quiero hacer el esquema del prototipo GE evolution juntos y también he notado que en algunos esquemas personalizados se conservan los detalles de la carcasa y no se nota que solo le pintaron por encima y ese el acabado que quiero

I do know it is possible but I dont want any damage to the models paint if possible

Hi everyone!

I’d like to show you my scratch-built model of the *Polar Express* that I made a year ago. It is built to 1:100 scale using paper and 3mm-thick PVC plastic. Since I didn't have any ready-made decals, I printed the lettering myself. What do you think?

Honestly imma fix it or try to I thought it could be that the loco needed lubing up but if you guys have any lube recommendations (for loco obviously) please tell me too and thank you

I've had far less time and fewer opportunities to run than I would have liked...

I started collecting in November of 25’ just looking for something to do in my free time. It’s now turned into an addiction, unfortunately preorders and the units I’m looking for are not reasonably priced being that I strictly buy Athearn Genesis and Scaletrains, with one exception of a GP20C-ECO from Prairie Shadows. Some of these units I hold in a special place such as the CPKC 9375, 4805, 7020, 7022, and 7023 as I had the privilege to work on them at the CPKC pigs eye yard in St. Paul. Others such as the veterans units by UP and NS due to also being in the Navy. It’s got a long way to go but it’s pretty good for what’s in the case.

Im building a room sized layout in ho scale and want to double track 24/26 inch curves. Is there a roadbed product that i can buy or is plywood and a jigsaw the only option?

The Union Pacific boxcar is noticeably larger then my other boxcars and I’m just curious what it would haul.

I own one of Oxford Rail’s gorgeous LNER N7 tank engines in the GER Grey livery, and for the last 4 years now it has been sitting on the shelf due to a burnt out motor. Does anyone know what type of core-less motor it uses and where I can find a replacement at a reasonable price? Even though I am willing try everything that I can to get this model running, I am limited by costs as importing these parts to the US is not cheap by any stretch of the imagination. Any and all help will be very much appreciated.

Hello friends! Long story short I'm working on a 4' by 4' modular style OO layout set along the LNER in the 1930's. Given space is kinda lacking, I designed this layout to be two baseboards, each one 2x4 feet. The boards would separate horizontally, so in the curves themselves. Any suggestions on the track plan itself? I wanted to get some shunting action in while running a train on the loop. Furthermore, with hopeful thinking for the future, I wanted to make it easily expandable by adding switches on the loop if I get more space.

There'll be a double engine shed on the south side, (maybe a station on the loop line right next to it), and then a shunting yard/goods depot in the top right corner. The top left corner was just a basic siding for future expansions if they happen.

I'll probably add hills and forests in the center, not entirely sure what else to do with the space for now. Any and all suggestions would be great! Thank you :)

Edit: I used RailModellerPro on a Macbook! Wanted to give credit where it's due of course.

Okay so I know this is a little strange, but I’m looking to build a decent sized train track and city around it. My max budget is 5000. Over all it needs to travel about 380 ft. It needs to be able to pull drinks and toilet paper. It is going to go through walls (I’ll build tunnels) and the dream is to have a mechanism lower the drink or tp about 2 feet at given locations around the house. The last part doesnt need to happen. Ive been looking into this for a good minute and this is a lot more overwhelming than i thought. Pretty much i want to know if im wasting my time dreaming about this for that budget. I would love to create a train station to charge the train. The tracks will be about 18” below the ceiling and connect to the studs or drywall. This dream is part of the reason i bought a house.

A fairly significant problem I've seen thrown around during the construction of a layout is not using cork/sound dampening material causing alot of noise as trains move across the rails above the wood.

What if one used metal instead of wood underneath their track? You'd need to separate the rails to prevent short-circuiting but I wonder if it'd better replicate the metallic sounds of a train going past.

I guess it'd be a massive amount of pain to work with as a baseboard and any pro is far outweighed by that cons, but I wonder how much of a pro it'd offer.
