Re: Brio Pop-Up, Wind-Up Layout....
GREAT idea! It looks good, hope your child enjoys it!

Took a HO-sized Shelling wind-up streamliner and replaced the tin shell over the running gear with a plastic HO F7 to make a non-electric wind-up Brio layout for my three-year old that breaks down to fit in a shoebox, using building flats and a small HO train station for scenery.? ?John M.

Hello all
The group seems a bit quiet this year!?
Not sure if this has been mentioned before (apologies if so) but there's a new micro-layout online magazine out called Micro Model Railway Dispatch.? FREE to download from (although you can make donations to the publisher if you like the magazine.)
Well-written and illustrated, very much in the spirit of both Carl Arendt and the much-missed Model Trains International magazine.? There are eight issues out now, all available from the website.? Anyway, might be of interest to someone?
And speaking of Model Trains International, I know that the group blurb say that wants lists aren't allowed, but I've drawn a complete blank elsewhere on this (ebay, bookfinder, heritage railways magazine stalls etc. etc.):? does anyone have any of the following early issues of MTI that they no longer want, as they are all that I need to complete my set:? Issues 5, 6, 10, 11, 13, 15, 16, 18, 20?? Here's hoping...
Best wishes,
Richard Taylor

Layout Preview: Central Coast RR Festival – Ron Hamley
Layout Preview: Central Coast RR Festival – Ron Hamley
This is a detailed, compact N scale U-shaped layout measuring 4”x4”, 2’x2’, 3’x7’. The mainline runs thirty-eight feet.
Ron models California’s coastal mountain area in the 1950s to early 1960s. Scenery includes oak forests, grasslands, small streams and an ocean harbor. Many trees are handmade.
He runs a logging train plus freight and passenger trains. There is a small operating yard, freight station and engine house.
Structures include a sawmill, a town with multi-story buildings and harbor area buildings.
Power is DC.
Check out Ron’s layout videos:
This is just one of over thirty model and garden railroads that will be open during the Central Coast Railroad Festival on October 6 – 9 in San Luis Obispo and Northern Santa Barbara Counties.
Here is a link to the list with owners/railroad names, schedules, locations and descriptions:
This link now includes three area maps showing the general location of all the railroads.
Please do not visit the railroads outside of their posted schedules.
The tour schedule is subject to change so please check back as the Festival approaches.
And note that there are a lot more activities, mostly free, as part of the Festival:
Hope we see you in October.

Layout Preview: Central Coast RR Festival – Anthony Harris
At this stop you can see three separate table top model railroad layouts. The first is a Z-scale that is 3' x 5' and can run two trains. Next is an N-scale that is 3.5' x 6' and can run two trains. And last is another N-scale that is 4' x 7.5' and can run three trains. All the layouts contain tunnels, bridges, and changes in track elevation to create interest. The layouts and rolling stock are a mix of older and modern equipment. Power is DC. Each layout has no turnouts. The layouts are meant for railfanning as opposed to doing any switching operating sessions. Here is a video of one of the layouts:

Hi Dave
glad to see everyone getting a stock of supplies, one thing
that I am wondering about was the process of making the
rivet?heads, i wonder if there is a video or something out
there on how he makes them or if the moulds (if that is what
he has used) would be available to sell on to someone else.
