  1. Your small layout ideas are very interesting. I have a large model rr, made up of ntrak based modules, and I can never seem to get everything I want on them. I would have liked to see more pics, such as one showing the entire side. The workmanship on the wooden trestle bridge, looked very impressive. Your very talented.

  2. Thanks for all the kind words.
    This layout started out as a "chainsaw" to practice some skills (like scratchbuilding structures & handlaying curved turnouts) and was supposed to be done in 6 months. Two years later, I'm still working on it!
    If you'd like to see more photos and details, check out the "Mt. Coffin & Columbia River" construction thread in the Layouts & Layout Building forum.

  3. Nice little layout. But could not print the downloaded plan to take it to my workshop because the pdf is secured . I had dismantled my large layout as a predicate to moving, but the economy has delayed the move, so I wanted to use this to complete my golden spike award while we wait to sell our current house. Fortunately, I'm a print subscriber so I scanned, enlarged and printed it for construction. Why did you lock the download from printing?

  4. What password are you looking for? I tried my MRR password, but that didn't work. What else would I use?

  5. That is a fantastic small-space solution! Even with having my HO scale layout, I would build that as a diversion – when big layout construction gets a little tedious.
    I could have my little N scale layout, to just have fun with!! 🙂
    Great Idea!!
