for
your model railroad
Remember
not too long ago when you were working on you layout and came up with
that clever solution to get the framus to grumulate within three
degrees of arc? You felt pretty good about it, but figured it
was
such a small and problem-specific solution that no one else would be
interested. Well, think again. Model railroaders
are a
very clever and adaptive bunch, and what you did may be just the spark
that would help someone else come up with an answer to some problem
they are having.
That's
what this page is about
What
follows, in
no particular order, are ideas that have been developed and implemented
by your fellow model railroaders to solve problems on their own
pikes. Some you may find useful, some you may not.
Some may
be just the thing to provide that "spark" to get you to the answer
you've been looking for.
If you have a
nifty, neat, or cool idea that you would like to share, don't be shy,
send it in.
The
only rule is that it has to have been actually
used by you on your own or someone else's layout to solve a problem or
improve its operation.
