I am thinking of Wild Bill's fronter town and show. The scale will be 1/55 3 foot gauge. I am thinking of using undersized o scale structures that I have and some gaming figures mixed with 1/50 modern people. Who says you do not have room for a layout that could keep you busy for a year or two. The track and Porter will be ON30 but scales to 1/55 3' track. Come on get out of your arm chairs folks.

Remember it? I guess I better start painting gaming figures soon.

The switch on the right will lead to the mine entrance. The switch on the left leads to the mining supply shed. I plan on using my Bachmann Davenport and Bachmann ore cars. I'm hoping you guys meant 2015. Rick don’t despair. It’s a tortoise and hare mind thing. I see you’ve planned the switches but did you consider No. 3’s or 4’s to give you more room? Those longer switches don’t give you as much room to manover. Country: USA | Posts: 5241 Rick Administrator Premium Member Posted - 09/23/2014 :  11:01:12 AM     I am definitely the tortoise. Frank, I did consider using smaller switches but I already had one #5 and a friend was kind enough to offer making another for me. They'll be fine for what I want to do. As you think, so will you be.

The whole point is to be able to run a train.

Good show Larry.....I have one of those critters too.... ;-) Country: USA | Posts: 12973 Rick Administrator Premium Member Posted - 10/08/2014 :  10:50:31 AM     Due to unrelenting requests for a progress from the On30 Lounge crew , here is a progress picture. Got the two switches installed, stained the ties and started painting the pink foam a tan color. After finishing the painting I'll start getting some dirt down and then I can start installing the rail. Sorry for the harsh shadows. As you think, so will you be.
