Posted by Anonymous on Wednesday, October 25, 2006 12:35 PM

Hi,

Ive been taking videos of my layout over the past few weeks and finally found an easy way of sharing them. They are hosted on Yahoo video and can be found at

Very nice layout. How did you do the hills?

That's impressive, John. What radii are your loops?

The return loops are small !!! one is 18" rad the other by mistake is just under 17" as for the hills its expanding foam, the type used for filling around window frames outside.

There are " in construction " pictures on my website

My goodness, I guess you had to use flex track for the loops, then?

Here I was thinking this was G scale. I was thinking REAL hard how the heck you got G scale to run around a 17" radius. LMAO

John, I noticed your layout is on the On30 Tracks online magazine this month. Great looking water tank! Congradulations!

A sunny Sunday November morning here in the North West allowed me to get out again with my camera.
