The new Annual has been announced! Sadly, it's gone up ten dollars for the cover price from previous years.
I haven't gotten the digital proof for my article yet.

I'm convinced the man probably also fixes the roof when it leaks and takes out the trash at White River, as he seems to do everything else.
Quote from: John on May 19, 2023, 08:59:50 PMDo you know about the "www.westernbayrailroad.org" On30 club layout in Port Saint Lucie, FL. The owner (Al Sohl) of the club has had multiple articles in the On30 Annual. It is worth seeing the layout and he also has operation sessions.I've seen his articles, it's great work.
Quote from: Fred Klein on March 11, 2023, 12:18:20 AMThe wives of model railroaders deserve all the recognition they can get for putting up with us.Indeed. I thought about a photo with my wife in it, but that'd suggest she has anything to do with operating on my layout. She made the skirts for the layout, though.
Quote from: Fred Klein on March 11, 2023, 12:18:20 AMBeen married going on 51 years and my wife still ooohs and aaahs at the models I build (of course she also nit picks them to death - claims that's part of the fine print in the marriage contract).Congrats! If I do anything with the layout and I bother to show it to her, she just stares with what I can only describe as ambivalence. If I ever go for my MMR with the NRHS, it won't mean a thing to her.
Quote from: Fred Klein on March 10, 2023, 12:33:17 AMI'm really looking forward to reading your article - never been disappointed in one of those either. Thanks for the hard work.Thanks, Fred. Chris asked me at the NG convention in Tacoma to write an article about operation sessions on a On30 layout, something he'd never had in the Annual before.
Quote from: RickRail on March 04, 2023, 08:16:43 AMUsing Proto48 with On30 WILL give you the correct spacing for what we are accustomed to seeing in the world of 3ft/standard gauge track with the narrow gauge rail being closer top the outside rail. The drawback is building a correct Proto48 standard gauge loco.Man, if someone would just make a proto48 Porter fireless 0-6-0 like the one the North American Rayon plant in Elizabethton had. That ran within sight of the 3-foot ET&WNC and interchanged with them (though I've never seen a photo of one of the ET&WNC ten-wheelers in the same shot as the Porter, but they ran near each other for almost 14 years).
Quote from: fld63 on June 27, 2021, 03:30:42 PMAs a separate note, I just purchased the Bachmann ON30 Baldwin 4-6-0 from Trainworld, which does not appear in Bachmann's current catalog. It was unavailable anywhere, until last week when 15 of the units were listed for sale for $99, on the Trainworld website.I'll have to check that out. I regretted not getting another ET&WNC ten wheeler when they had them on sale (just as a backup or parts source).
