Real Trains / Remote, but in the center of Paris?
« Last post by don9GLC on May 02, 2014, 10:19:47 am »
I came across this interesting (to me) story of an old circular steam railway long abandoned.

Like in some other cities, abandoned railroads quickly turn into mysterious forbidden places, seemingly remote from all around them.

The Metro was exotic enough for me, a very very long time ago!

Hints, Tips & Idea's / Shower Door Glass for Water on Indoor Layout
« Last post by Dave Jacobsen on March 22, 2014, 07:18:37 am »
I'd love to claim this great idea  of using shower door glass for water on an indoor layout, but that goes to my friend Alan Arnold.
I'm putting a link to the thread on another site where he tells about his use of shower door glass for a canal on his indoor  layout.

General Discussion / the Future of Toy Train Manufacturing?
« Last post by Dave Jacobsen on March 15, 2014, 04:37:23 pm »
With the advent of 3-D printers, we have some very cool and wonderous possibilities available in Toy Train Manufacturing.
MakerBot decided to commision a Big Boy, so plans  were drawn up & printed it out with a 3-D printer to see if it could be done.
