QUOTE: Originally posted by West Coast S Who else, besides me is following the current MR G scale layout project? Fantastic and impressive is all I can say, I love my S, but a SP themed G branchline layout would look impressive in my 25 X 70 space, why even GP-7s can be had in Black Widow colors. Must resist these thoughts or i'll got nothing accomplished. Dave
QUOTE: Originally posted by DavidGSmith I have anOn30 layout inside and an F scale (NMRA 20.3 is now F) hope they continue to sort out the scale mess. Anyway back to topic., the garden RR club I belong to is getting a building two stories with a layout area 24x24 the use of which has been donated. There are only a few members with indoor building experience. Guess who will have to come up with a track plan and do the benchwork? Its a challange I like. I doubt it will be SP. CNR or CPR most likely up here in the great white. The article in MR has some good ideas and discusses some of the problems you can run into. It will be fun.
Have fun with your trains
QUOTE: Originally posted by vsmith The problem with 1:32 is that there is less avalable than in 1:29 scale. That and the whoping huge price difference between items in the scale. I would consider a 1/29 scale layout, that way you can use USA and Aristo much easier priced GPs and SW-1's, USA even has a new S-1000 switcher all for about $300 each or less. I have spent the last 3 years planning my indoor large scale Borracho Springs layout which is now on hold till a new garage is built to house it. I would be glad to help any way I can with the planning of it.. Vic
