If it is entirely brass maybe Loco Workshop and outfit from NJ that was owned by a man named Jan Lorenson. He did mostly O scale brass kits but did venture into S scale for a while coming out with

To all: My apologies if the recent email that I thought I had sent privately to an individual winds up in this large group's inbox. Rance Velapoldi

A number of years ago I bought this unit that was powered using Miller Labs trucks. I used the power trucks to make an S-2 with 4 powered axles. Just curious if anyone has any idea where this shell

May I offer an observation: Since these layouts are always built into a limited space, the size of the outer loop of track is determined first, and then inner loops are squeezed into whatever space

Since this was 1940, the track was three-rail, I wonder if the track dimensions for the Flyer prewar track were the same as for the postwar two-rail, e.g. 19" radius curves (as Tom S recently pointed

Interesting. That one has four straight tracks on both ends, but it also doesn't correctly reflect the need for custom cut pieces on the ends and the inside loops. Bob Graves

Here is a different No. 10 track layout from 1940 instructions that uses just one “half straight” section. Required space is slightly different than the 1949 Instructions booklet. John D.

I have seven of the K line wide radius curves available for sale. Clean. No rust. The tops of some ties are bent down indicating they've been nailed down at one time; I have the tie repair tool to

Does anyone have any wide radius track to sell?? I looked on Ebay for both Lionel and Kline wide radius and found nothing.

FYI There is Lionel American Flyer (ties are stamped American Flyer and glossy black) wide radius track available as well. I have both the Lionel and K-Line (ties are stamped K-Line and matt black

I've seen that layout twice.........only about 20 miles from me. It's unbelievable! You can "tour" that layout for an hour, and never see all the detail.......and moreover, never pay any attention at

George Sellios, founder of Fine Scale Miniatures, wrote and published this book, "The Fabulous Franklin & South Manchester Railroad" in 1991. In 79 pages, it describes, and shows numerous pictures of,

If you're operating on AC or DC, that's correct for most people, unless you're gutsy and want to play chicken where the three loops share track at the end. Sophisticated layout designers, however, can

From my understanding of this plan, it appears that only one train can run continuously.? For a new 7x12, I think 2 train running is preferable.? Also, if the builder can afford K-line S gauge 0-54

Robert: I love the throwback track design layout, template and graph paper. Thank you, David David A. Avedesian, PE, RPA Newport Associates 5 Baughman Court Silver Spring, MD 20906 301-929-9000

That's correct. The three half curves is one of the many problems with that layout design. The correct drawing is attached. I should've included it in the original message; my brain is still stuck on

Tom - an interesting question. I was using "20 inches" as shorthand - mainly to distinguish from the larger "27-in" radius curve track (which I also have in the layout plans). So to answer your

< I fired up the track planning software I use on my Mac - Railmodeller Pro > Richard, do you know the centerline radius that Railmodeler Pro uses? You refer to the radius being 20" but I believe

Since we are talking about layouts - I've attached my current layout plans. The chair of the domicile space assignment committee has signed off on my using a former bedroom for this endeavor (still

I tried to put #10 together in AnyRail 7. It was close as shown in the diagram, but not quite. I agree that there was probably some "Fudging" to get the tracks to connect. If they screwed (#4
