Hi everyone, new to the forum so I thought I would introduce myself.
I have been an N scale modeler for ~35 years. My current layout has been under construction for coming on 5 years. It is a triple deck layout in a two car garage. I am modeling the CP’s Southern mainline in BC on the Boundary, Slocan and Kaslo subs crica 1970 as accurately as I can achieve.
I am rabidly interested in the prototype, its operational nuances and the history of the region...always lots to learn!
I recently posted videos of the design, operation and construction of the layout on Youtube at http://www.youtube.com/markdance63 . If you do visit the Youtube site I hope you find the videos interesting.
I am a fan of operations and we have held about a dozen op sessions in the last 19 months the last one hosting 9 operators.
btw: I am going to try cross-posting this to the HO page as well...much to learn from anyone modeling the region in any scale!
Thanks!

Hi all...I have been busy working on scenery before the Vancouver Trains 2010 open house tours including a snow scene at Farron summit. About 80% of the scenery on the 3rd deck is now done save structures. I recently posted a video to Youtube chasing a C-Liner-led passenger train running over these 3 scale miles.
Here is the link should you be interested:

I have also updted my Flikr account with more photos. And below is this link, again should you be interested in checking out what's new photo-wise.

Hey Mark! Trully nice work! I would appreciate if you could help me with 2 things: 1- What shell did you use for your H16-44 engine? 2- I would like to see pictures of your home-made woodchip gondolas, the CP ones with the giant pacman is awesome! Thank you! |

incredible layout, the scenery is very nice, job well done
what did you make your rock formation from? very realistic looking
Whoever said you had to grow up never had a train set growing up |
