<br />
No space for a permanent layout? Constantly moving? Or maybe you're looking for a way to share the hobby with others.<br />
Sometimes the model railroad that moves us moves with us. A portable model railroad can be a great way to take your hobby on the road. And a railroad doesn't have to be huge to offer big rewards.<br />
You don't need to have continuous running options to have hours of fun on a model railroad. In fact, with this method you are able to run the train endlessly through the Automated Reverse Loops, but thinking about its every move and job is a great way to lengthen your modelling enjoyment. This shelf-style layout represents a typical small station with a "fiddle yard" and provides a lot of operations in a relatively small space.<br />
Although the "mainline" on this railroad between the two loops is only 1.2 metres long, you could easily stretch this plan into a larger shelf-style layout around the walls of the room to provide a longer run and even more industrial switching action.<br />
A small train of only a locomotive and two cars can keep you occupied for quite a while on this deceptively simple railroad.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Track</span><br />
This track plan is designed around standard code 100 track sections.<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Wiring</span><br />
As the entire railroad would be one operational block, conventional or DCC systems could both be used to power the line.<br />
A DCC system would allow you to easily add a second locomotive to make your own operations easier.<br />
A power bus with feeders to the many sidings will allow reliable operations through the many switches.<br />
The number of feeders you install is up to you, but at least one pair on each of the three long tracks of the yard would minimize voltage drop issues.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Scenery and Structures</span><br />
As a portable layout, scenery is a bit of a challenge. If your interest is primarily in operation, and you move the layout frequently, then minimal scenery may work best. Simply ballasting the track and adding some ground cover will go a long way towards providing a finished look without adding much weight or any delicate parts.<br />
If you do choose to add structures, background buildings will work well. You could use kits as-is, or do some kitbashing to fit and make the most of materials. Walthers and others make many industry kits that can be easily modified for these scenes and stretched along the backdrop.<br />
With sidings branching off in different directions, switching even a two-car train could take a while.<br />
Uncoupling magnets could be added, but given the small size of the operation and the many places you'll want to separate cars, you may be better off using a hand tool.<br />

<span style="font-size: medium; text-align: left;">Wynn’s Nut Lock & Stud Lock are solvent free products that cure in the absence of air and in the presence of metal ions. Applications include studs, nuts, screws and any threaded fasteners. The adhesive prevents loosening caused by vibration, mechanical and thermal shock. Resistant to petrol, diesel, transmission fluid, anti freeze, and other chemicals. Wynn’s Nut Lock and Stud Lock also inhibit fretting corrosion and prevent seizure and galling. Nut Lock is a medium strength bond which requires 20Nm torque to loosen. Stud Lock has high bond strength for more permanent locking and requires 36Nm torque to loosen.</span></div>

</div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Created an unofficial dirt road level crossing - used Alcolin Woodfiller (Mahogany) for the roadbed, waited for about 5 hours for the roadbed to dry, weathered the road with pastel powders dissolved in alcohol and added gravel on the skirts and centre. Finally added some Woodland Scenics bushes.</span><br />

<u>RailRunner intermodal system set for South African trials:</u><br />
<i>Written by Paul Ash</i><br />
In a move that could have long-term ramifications for South Africa's long-haul trucking industry, Transnet has signed a deal with RailRunner, United States to develop intermodal technology for the country's general freight business.<br />
The project - a joint venture between Transnet Freight Rail and RailRunner- will see a test train of lorry trailers on rail bogies begin running on the Cape Corridor between Johannesburg and Cape Town in the first half of next year.<br />
The RailRunner system - a container trailer chassis with conventional wheels for running on road and a dedicated bogie for rail operation - will enable road hauliers to focus on the “last mile” part of the logistics chain where rail cannot operate.<br />
As well as helping Transnet in its stated aim to attract more traffic from road to rail, the deal could also clear the way for private-sector businesses to get involved in rail transport. While the tractor units and trailers are already privately owned, private operators would also own the RailRunner bogies.<br />
Transnet will supply the locomotives and operate the trains as part of its general freight service. A typical RailRunner train would consist of 40 trailers although overseas experience has shown that consists could operate with up to 200 trailers.<br />
Transnet says a bimodal service would offer its customers “a complete logistics solution” that combines the strength of both road and rail transport.<br />
Local industry is also expected to score on the deal as the RailRunner bogies would be manufactured in South Africa, in line with Transnet’s localisation requirements.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Forced Perspective: Turn Pictures of Model Trains and Cars into Nostalgic Life-Like Images.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I can now take photographs at any time of day, preferably during sunny conditions, under a diffused roof, as direct sunlight can also be too bright</span><span style="font-size: large;">, ed</span><span style="font-size: large;">iting the images at any time of day or evening</span><span style="font-size: large;">. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I prefer this method, as it is difficult to find a really nice background setting in nature in order to take a Life Like photograph of a model. The depth of field, lighting and weather conditions and even the time of day are issues to be taken into account when doing a live shoot... </span><br />
