The more I see of Dave’s layout, the more envious I get.
Anyhow, here’s the latest from him:
Don’t forget to have a look-see at the latest ‘ebay cheat sheet‘.

Mike’s railroad
“Dear Al,
I have been enjoying your emails and website and thought I would send you a plan (attached) and some photos (to follow) of my 2×8 Kansas City Time Saver layout that I have recently completed.
As I am sending this through my iPad the photos my be in a few installments.
I used Bachmann EZ Track for this layout as it was my first and I went digital with a NCE Power Cab system so that I could have it as a stand alone layout or as a module (I am currently working on two other layouts, a 9×5 and a 6×4, that will link with this eventually).
Hope you like it.
Mike”
Wow! A superb layout. And thanks to Mike for sending in all those pics – I love the start to finish story pictures tell.
That’s all for today folks.
Please do keep ’em coming.
And if you think everyone else is having all the fun, the Beginner’s Guide is here.

Scratch built scenery
“These loads cost just £1.19p to make. Sand loads. Made from flower arranging foam blocks.
It even looks like sand. I just cut the rectangular blocks to fit the trucks then shape accordingly.
I use a kitchen knife and your fingers to mould into shape.
You could plasticote them with matt acyrlic varnish to make them weather proof.
John”
And this in from Bob:
“Alastair,
Here are some of my scratch build N Scale (1:160) buildings
I proud of them hope you enjoy.
Bob,
Melbourne Australia.”
I loved ’em! Bob must have the patience of a saint – for everybody else, have a peek out these new models here.
You just print them out and stick the together.
Oh – and don’t forget the ebay cheat sheet to hold on to those dollars.
That’s all for today.
Please do keep ’em coming.
