You asked for it:

  1. Western Maryland Tidewater Division.
  2. Angry Beaver.
  3. Brooklyn Terminal RR.

Is Yorklyn, MD, really HO?  Looks more like N scale to me.  (Wouldn't have any impact on my vote, either way.)

Bath Port Belt layout not showing up when clicked on.

The above is my opinion, from an active and experienced Model Railroader in N scale and HO since 1961.

Both Lancaster Terminal Railway and the Industry branch are missing a track in the yards.  IDN if this is just something with my computer or with the picture.

Sorry, I noticed that with a couple files. That's why I ask that the files be pre-set to 800 pixels wide. IF I have to shrink them wierd things happen.

I'll see if I can fix them.

The Yorklyn Layout is N scale.  I'm so used to HO that I mis-typed it.  Sorry!  I sent an email with the correction a little while later but maybe you didn't get it.

 Hi Chris --

 I really like the Industry Branch layout - that is a neat use of curved turnouts in the corners!

 Here is a 600x800 - well - 600x735 ... attempt to draw it out using Xtrakcad, placed in a 10x12 room for illustration purposes, with an engine (a SW-7) and a some 40' cars added to give an idea of length of sidings etc. Good plan!

 

 Good luck!

 Smile,
 Stein

Okay. I was able to rework some and I got new better images submitted by people. So double check and see if we are ready.

Besure to hit refressh if it looks the same and you submitted changes.

If you want to upgrade your drawing since others did feel free.

The creator of the Western Maryland can do the observer a great favor by showing the elevations, grade percentages, and the turnout frog sizes.
