N Scale / US T-trak layout
« on: April 19, 2025, 08:23:45 AM »
Hi all,

Found this T-trak layout planned for a US show later in the year.  It looks as if a full circuit might even be an real time overnight run !

I made a "hold-down board" by taking a rectangular piece of 9mm plywood and glueing on a few layers of 3mm cork sheeting.  I use notice board push pins to hold whatever I am glueing / soldering.

Wall of Remembrance / Neville Worth
« on: April 15, 2024, 09:03:24 AM »
Neville Worth passed away on Friday 5th April 2024.

Neville was an active and staunch member of the Cape Town N-Trak club for many years, and he will be remembered for his "always look on the bright side of life" attitude and quirky sense of humour.

RIP.

Model Train Media / Modelling magazines for download
« on: October 11, 2023, 09:23:42 PM »
Hi guys,

In the course of surfing the web earlier, I came across the following website, and it is too good a resource to keep to myself :

https://downmagaz.net

It lists thousands of magazines on multitudes of interests, both current and past issues, and is an absolute resource treasure trove of as near as dammit anything you will ever want or need.  Model Railroader and Trains are two of the many model railroading publications available for download.    :biggrin:

Copies are free to download, subject to certain restrictions, or if you subscribe to the website for a fee, can be downloaded almost without limitation.

Enjoy,
Steve

Model Train Media / Next project ?
« on: September 03, 2023, 09:41:36 AM »
This would make an interesting kitbash or scratchbuild project, but would probably need fairly broad radius curves.  ???

Nowhere near as much coverage as I would have liked, but a beautifully detailed layout.
