Model Train Help - Model Railroad Planning

Many model railroaders begin with the urge to see model trains running as soon as possible, and rush in to construct the first type of layout that occurs to them. The sad part to that is when they found out that they have committed to a design that is not of long term interest.

First step is to get out your pencil and put down a few ideas that will guide you in your planning. How much space is available for your complete layout? It is better to overestimate your space requirements than to find yourself later in cramped quarters that will necessitate ripping up track and starting over. Next, how much rolling stock do you have, and how much more do you plan having?

When you plan your first track layout, be sure to allow for future growth of your rail system. As you add to your rolling stock you will want more sidings, classification yards, wyes, reverse loops. The siding in today's layout may tomorrow become a complete new branch of your railroad empire. You may want to build a specialist layout with one major source of traffic, for example a steel mill, brewery or saw mill.

A considerable amount of planning results to the best and satisfying layouts. In the long run you will discover that planning and research can be a lot of fun. It is usually well worth the time and effort involved in getting things right from day one.

Money Train $68.51 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Money Train is a 1995 American action/thriller film starring Wesley Snipes, Woody Harrelson and Jennifer Lopez as New York City transit cops. After losing his job, Harrelsons character plots to hijack and then rob the money train which hauls collected fare revenues for the New York City Subway from the systems stations. The subway car used as the money train in the film is a modified R22 subway car. The rolling stock was modified by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority and film crew into an imposing subway train covered in silver armor plating and equipped with flashing orange lights and sliding barred doors, like those on a jail cell. After production, the car was donated to the New York Transit Museum. The actual money train resembled a normal maintenance train painted yellow with black diagonal stripes. The New York City subway system retired its money trains in 2006; the introduction of the MetroCard and computerized vending machines that allowed fare payment by credit card have dramatically reduced the number of coins stored in subway stations.

London Underground A60 and A62 Stock $89.22 Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The A Stock is the type of train used on the Metropolitan Line of the London Underground. It was built in two batches by Cravens of Sheffield in the early 1960s. The trains replaced all the previous stock then used on the Metropolitan Line. The A Stock is due to be replaced by new trains of S Stock from 2010. The A Stock is currently the oldest type of train in passenger service on London Underground, and the last rolling stock to have independent motoring and braking controls. The core design of the A Stock was formulated by W S GraffBaker of the London Passenger Transport Board as part of the electrification of the Metropolitan Line from Rickmansworth to Amersham and Chesham under the 19351940 New Works Programme. The project was delayed by the events of World War II and the lack of funds available during the austerity period which followed the war: however, in 1946 two experimental trailers similar in exterior appearance to the production trains were built using underframes of the T Stock. The trailers were scrapped when the trials concluded.
