I think if it were'nt for the formaldahyde problems associated with FEMA trailers, Jeffery may jump at the chance to get one. Like he said, his trailer is 58 years old. Although, I'm not sure what size FEMA trailers are?Somewhere around the size of a 25-30' camper trailer. NOT very big. Jeff would have to switch to Z scale.

Wayne PAL , It's mostly Lionel, about 20% HO. The next one there is August 17, from 9am to 2pm, $5 admission - kids under 10 free - decent food, although I did the show in just over an hour taking my time.

Good video! I enjoyed the view from behind the engine. Nice trip around the layout.
I broke a banjo string, though. Billy Joe started laughing and spit tobacco juice in his harmonica!

Whoops. Sorry The oil burners I know (Daylight mostly) did smoke some, and I was going by what I knew of the AC12 on the MSTS Add ons...

The layout's about 9x17. Here's a track plan:

Modeling the Fort Worth & Denver of the early 1970's in N scale
So, since the original post was deleted (Tom, I have the man's permission to post his drawings), here it is again. Okay, so I kinda took a ton of pics. This is the very best.
New feature (the F7 burned out and I thought about Jeff's steam loco in the park, so here's it final resting place [for now])
I gots me a new toy! I picked up a cheapie wireless minicam. Here it is pictured very skillfully mounted on a flatcar to give a brakeman's world view.
Next video I make, I'll use more light. LOTS more light!
Just some photos I took of the local model railroad club in Aurora, Illinois.

Renegade,
I think I was just lucky...the photo was taken with a Canon Powershot G5 camera. I think I was zoomed in about 4X for that photo.

Nice photo. You must have a pretty good lens on your camera. thats a really deep canyon (hence the name Royal Gorge).
