Atlas 2-rail O scale track can be used for outdoors!  It is also UV resistant.

  I too have plans for an O'scale layout, but currently no space. I'd still like to hear from other O-scalers. I'm considering going back into HO what with BLI and others coming out with all the sound things, and the cost and space factor. Hard to decide.I could put track out on the deck, but exposure to the weather here would probably be disastrous.  Anybody else with that problem?

    Hi Christopher

    My wife and I live on a small farm west of Richmond - and are in the process of building a large O-Gauge layout in the basement.  Will cover about 800 square feet when finished.  Am also active in O-Gauge modular layouts in the area - with the next modular shows to be at the Chesterfield County Show in August (16 x 24), a larger layout at the local Masonic Steam Show the first of October, and possibly another holidays late to support a local Railroad Museum in Crewe, VA. The show at the Chesterfield county fair is a 9  day event so always looking for some extra hands.

    I'm always interested in meeting and communicating with people of like interest and I travel to MD a number of times a year to see our son in Rockville, MD. 

    I am finishing the bench work and hope to lay track in about three weeks - a family reunion to get through first. Summertime is always busy on a farm -especially one that's just being started up since we sold the home farm a couple years ago.  But still try to work on the trains when weathers bad and getting ready for a big push this coming fall/winter.  The layout will have the capability of being able to run loops for open houses, or as a real railroad for operating sessions.  Wills be a large city industry section - 40' x 14'; and a Branch line for coal and timber - 34' x 8.  Both sections will be tired together for operating sessions.  Plan on modeling the late 1940s and early 1950s.  Will wire it to run DCS and TMCC as well as conventional.  I have a collection of different manufacturers. 

    Would be interested in exchanging photos, ideas. etc.

      Just wondering if there are any O scale modelers participating in the list. 

      Tom,  

      There is at least one other O Scaler on the list.  I'm in Fort Worth, TX.  With last kid off to college, last year moved into a smaller "retirement" house, but with bigger train room (empty second floor).  Now under construction is a Virginian Railway themed Appalachian coal hauler layout. 

      If you get 48/ft, O Scale News you have seen my articles.  The last issue had an article on benchwork and the photos showed the layout as it was about 6 months ago.  Right now I'm in the subroadbed stage.
