Like the title says, any one modeling in On3? I enjoyed working in 1/4 inch. A lot easier than HO.

I did On30 for a while, but my caveman hands are really too big, so I switched to 1:20.3. That's Fn3 which runs on 45mm G scale track. On3 is really cool and challenging, since no one makes ready made track and you have to hand lay track and ties. I've done it before helping a friend on his On3 layout. It's really cool because you can lay the rails and ties imperfect just like the real thing.

Rob.....I didn't realize you were a modeler too! THATS awesome news! LOL
Model Railroading, or others stuff? I am a modeler, Railroad starting out and have been a back burner type auto modeler almost let the flame burn out till my late Father got me a 1/4 size Hemi to build thats now a lamp on my night stand next to the bed! Then my Step-Mom got me to build a model of my Dad's '39 Chebby....so, the flame is burning bright once again......
Whats your layout like ?

Here's an HO scale model of a PRR H10 class 2-8-0 I kit-bashed out of an MDC boiler form the 70's and a modern USRA 2-8-2 drive from Broadway LTD. I took this to the 2009 NMRA meet and to the Broadway Limited headquarters in Ormond Beach FL. This past year they released this- http://www.broadway-limited.com/283...shorttenderlineseastparagon2sounddcdccho.aspx
That's badass. I love the steam powered critter.....but it's way too clean. lol
I've been modeling longer than I've been around cars.

I built this turntable using a stepper motor bearing from a laser printer. The curved tracks going behind the roundhouse were going to be a doubletrack helix to a lower level.
Now that I don't have to build a fleet of 2-8-0 locos....I've been thinking about resurrecting that layout lately, even though that yard has been dismantled. It was a good design and flowed well. The tracks leading to the left are part of a double ended section about 6 feet long. The tower controlled the entrance to the yard and the helix. I was going to build a bank of hand thrown levers, mounted on the fascia...
