Unfortunately, that title doesn't help the rest of us know what
you're asking about, and many may just bypass your post for
something more interesting.
If you want better answers and quicker answers, tell us more
about your issue in your post title.
For instance, "My Athearn diesel doesn't run" or "Help, ACC'd
hand to scenery" work much better. Those who have an answer
for your dilemma will be more likely to come to your aid with
an answer.
Good outcome from our $500 Starter Layout Contest
We recently received this email from John Bremmer:
“Due to your contest, I am now out of the armchair. I have
been interested in trains as long as I can remember. My parents
gave me a Lionel 027 train set when I was 5 and my brother
handed down a bunch of 1970's N Scale to me when I was
about 12.
“[Recently] I drew up a plan for your contest, but I never did
submit it.
“A few months ago, I started drawing up a small 6 foot switch-
ing layout. This week, I pulled the trigger [on my design]. Most
of what I used was my hoard (like most armchair modelers)
and in the last week, all I have bought was lumber, wire, 2 bolts
and 2 nuts. I am trying to figure out how to make modern look-
ing buildings out of cardstock/my computer.”
Welcome, John, to the ranks of active layout builders!
