Hi all.

At the end of my tether looking for good shows to take our trade stand to in 2027. We have a few great bookings already (Lincoln, Basingstoke, Macclesfield confirmed), but are on the lookout for additional shows. Preferably with a diesel / electric slant and aimed at modellers. We are midlands based, but not adverse to travelling to…

My name is Dwight. My truck driving son , Steven , and I are building a 2 level HO layout.

It’s based on Santa Fe in the 70s with a live interchange with the Mopac. It’s a what- if line that starts just west of Scott City , Kansas and continues west to the Colorado border at a town called Glen City , Kansas. The layout has a double track…

One of my favorite parts of this hobby is seeing the creative ways modelers bring water scenes to life.

I recently experimented with using a motion light effect to create the illusion of moving water on my layout, and it got me thinking about how many different approaches are out there across all scales.

How are you modeling water on your…

Hello, my name is Kaydon, and I’m from the UK. I model in OO scale, with plans to do OO9 in future. Currently I’ve only got a baseboard as I’m still in the planning phase of my layout (I’ve had many track plans) but I’m soon to have it set up. So for now here’s a few pictures of my favourite locomotives I my collection😁

Hi I am John I model in N scale and I am currently building a three level freelance modern era layout in Southeastern Pennsylvania. I have also developed an auto speed matching speedometer which I may market if there is interest. I really enjoy Kato locomotives, and Union Pacific.
