Maritime Layouts

Bayside&Tidewater - This is a friends layout from PEI. Scott has lots of great ideas here even if they are all in HO,HA! (Had to get that in somewhere Scott)

The Never Done Railway – This is Brian’s blog also from PEI. I have operated on his layout and had a great time there.

The Never Done Railway 2 – After selling his house and dismantling his layout, Brian starts the planning for his new layout in his new home.

Canadisle Railway - This is Derwin’s creation also a great layout to operate on. Derwin is the individual  I hold responsible for tricking my boys into getting me back into the hobby (Read my Background post). Oh, by the way, Thanks Derwin.

White River Southern - This operating layout is currently made up of a whole lotta’ older UMG modules carefully laid out with a few extensions to make a very user friendly operation Session. I have had the recent pleasure to visit and operate on Doug’s Layout and had a great time there. Thanks Doug

Layouts from Away

Modular Groups

UMG -  The Un-Named Modular Group. This is an HO scale Free-Mo style modular layout group. We are mostly a band of misfits from the three Maritime provinces of Canada of which I am proud to say I belong to.

Federation of Model Railroaders

MFMR – Maritime Federation of Model Railroaders

CAD Railroad Design Program

XTrkCad - You can download XTrkCad from here. There once was a cost for this program but has been totally free for a couple years now.

XTrkCad Yahoo Group - This is a great group for getting help with using XTrkCad. As well, once you are familiar with it, offering your own advise to other newcomers.

Onine Shopping

B “N” Trains – A local friend who sells mostly N scale items and the odd HO. He has good prices and offers decoder installation as well. If he ain’t got it, he’ll get it…… if it’s available.

Cool Websites I have Found

Reality Reduced TV – I found this site almost by accident. The host of this show is Leo Bicknell who is also an N scale enthusiast. It done just like a TV show and covers just about anything having to do about N scale. He also gives out links to different websites as well during each episode. Check it out as it is a great site and I have learned some new techniques from it.

Update – Reality Reduced is now on a hiatus for about a year. You can still view his 13 episodes and hopefully he’ll be back sooner rather than later.

Newest Update Reality Reduced is now a Blog where he periodically updates what is going on in his Model Railroading world.
