im starting a new jersey railroad in 1950's
what would the stores look like to depict 1950's?
and would there be steam and diesel trains?

Heh Train lovers 
i made another post that said "grass effects?"
and id like to ask more people
for dirt effects
would i take top soil and grill it as they say for organisms?
and another question
i want to make a farm field how would i do that?
with the dirt?

new question
i live in a Brooklyn
of course on the eastern sea board
is there any train shows which i always love to attend
in New York or new jersey anytime soon?

heh  train lovers! 

new question
lets say i want to NOT spend 200$ on whistle sound "systems"
which i find insane
see i bet there good
but im in the 20-70$ range
how would i make sound
and i have a HO dcc train at my disposale
how would i make whistle sounds and things like that?

are some "realistic"
hot wheels cars scalled good for ho or on-30?
because they seem to go well

heh model train lovers 
I found this video when i was looking for videos
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5911794688453215486&q=maglev+toy+train&total=19&start=0&num=10&so=0&type=search&plindex=0
see
as the real trains become more advanced...
so do the models
i thought this was crazy
but it looks expensive!
but i can see it happening in the future
more reliable
nothing can derail it
with some tweeking i think it will do something to this market
Whats your thoughts everyone ?

Hello Train Lovers 
Well heres my concern
I need a grass effect for my railroad
and i dont want to spend 50$ on bits of turf
and if i do still it gets caught in between tracks and effects the running.
Will green felt work?
anyone know a slightly cheaper more reliable way of making grass effects?
