I have been pulling my hair out trying to come up with a plan for N scale. This plan is great and would make an excellent N scale layout with extra's. Well Done
I am not very good at planning and I am going to build this railroad. so it will probley take me a little longer that most. I wish there was some place I could get a set of plans for this railroad.
hey can we see some more layouts based on southeast bc and norteast washington railroads please? i like to se more layouts modeling these areas. in fact i used to live 2 miles from the kettle valley railway .
I am about to start a new layout and this one fits my scope and size very nicely. I will probably modify it in places only to add different terrian. This is great.
Living in Kelowna which is Kettle Valley country-very interesting as I am modeling same era of transition to deisel. Just starting-CN-CP-and BN my focus-as I grew up in White Rock B.C.. Fully involved scenery-draws you in-great trestles-Myrea canyon-Kelowna area has 13 on Kettle Valley that you can bike! Gives a great impression of the type of railroading in this area!!!!!!
