Here is a picture of the North Shore Railroad in Lewistown, Pennsylvania. The train is running down Water Street at the intersection with Main Street. Lewistown is about 60 miles(96 kilometers) northwest of Harrisburg(state capital). http://www.railpictures.net/photo/688877/ Wendell Idaho, USA

This is a very cool video of CTA's Brown Line, Pete! I really enjoyed it. However, I tried to transfer to the different lines on my smartphone, but it wouldn't work. Is there any way you can put up separate video clips on this post for all the routes including the Red Line and the Blue Line? The Red and Blue Lines are the two most busiest routes on the "L" system. I had ridden the "L" trains many years ago during trips to Chicago and when I was on military duty with the United States Navy in that metropolitan area. Wendell Idaho, USA

Raymond, I agree with you. I feel that Model Railroader should share more layouts and track plans that are 16 square feet or less(e.g.- a 2X8 layout). Wendell Idaho, USA https://model-railroad-hobbyist.com/node/30394

Barry Ten, you are doing a good job capturing the spirit of the South on your N scale layout. I remember seeing this layout featured in a Model Railroader magazine many years ago. Wendell Idaho, USA

Raymond O'Neill(Long Island Jack), congratulations on having your 59th and Rust layout featured in the April 2019 Model Railroader magazine issue. I had just received my MR issue a few days ago in the mail. You have done a wonderful job capturing the spirit of New York and New Jersey with your modeling and detailing. Keep up the good work! Wendell Idaho, USA

Sebastien, I had received a 2019 Model Railroad Planning magazine(from Model Railroader) about 3 weeks ago or so. I had read your article and saw the nice pictures of your Lake Valley & Northern layout. You have built a nice, simple layout with only six turnouts. Congratulations on having your layout featured in Model Railroad Planning and keep up the good work! Wendell Idaho, USA

Nice track plan with only four turnouts, Mike! Wendell Idaho, USA

Iain Rice created a good article about cameo layouts in the 2019 Model Railroad Planning magazine(from Model Railroader). Wendell Idaho, USA

Thank God no one got injured or worst of all, killed when all of those cars derailed. There were several automobiles waiting at the railroad crossing and if one of those train cars struck a vehicle, someone could have died! Wendell Idaho, USA

To add to what Keith had just shared(about railroad tracks going through a traffic circle/roundabout), here's another example of railroad tracks in a roundabout.
