HO / new model railroad
April 15, 2007, 11:31:57 PM
it was cool, i have found a plan that is 10' by 15' and its all a couincidence, its based on cajon pass which i was planning on doing the scenery on anyways, the plan is around the walls with 2 pininsulas, my parents were looking for a house to buy and right across the street they saw an open garage with a huge layout(10' by 15') and they started talking to him and he said bring your son by anytime, so the next day my mom took me and he gave me lots of advice, and even let me run a 40 car intermodal train around the layout he let me choose the locomotives that i wanted and everything, i chose a custom made atlas locomotive, it was a UP SD70MAC, an athearn BNSF dash8 wide cab and an athearn dash9 UP locomotive, i would post a link but there is no website i just found it by luck, the guy had well ever 70 locomotives, he had a huge selection too, he had csx, UP, SF, BNSF, amtrak, and BN i was impressed and im building the exact same layout and the guy is gonna help me build it, give me advice, wire it with DCC, install DCC decoders in my locos as well as sound, and hes giving me some locos and rolling stock as well!!!!! it is gonna be awesom when i finish my new layout. The guys is also gonna let me join his interchange group, its a group of model railroaders that all model modern railroads, he models UP, some models CSX, someone else models NS, and now im in and i model BNSF so we have all the major modern railroads. The interchange group members all live really close to where i live and every saturday we go to someone elses house and operste there railroad, next saturday, not the one that just passed but the one coming next week were going to the CSX house, then to the UP house, and then to the NS house and then to my house to work on the model railroad, and when its finished well go to my house after the NS. The UP is based on cajon pass, mine is based on cajon pass, the NS on is based on like a desert scene, the CSX is based on like a forest scene, the UP model railroad is 10' by 15' as well is mine, the NS is 20' by 30', and the CSX one is the biggest 20' by 50'. its gonna be so awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
