I am living in a independent living senior facility.
We have a new owner who has decided
to allocate a room in the basement for a model railroad.
It's about 30' x 40' large but not enormous,
so I am figuring that On30 is the ticket.
Large enough for old eyes,
and small enough radii to get more than a loop going.
Built on expandable modules about 2' x 4' to start.
I will chronicle the development of the project here.
Me, I've been a rubber gauger for years.
I have interests in military and fantasy modeling as well.
This affects my style and scope of my modeling.
So far I have an artist and a padawan learner on board.
If you are interested in a place
to spend your leisure years in beautiful northern Illinois,
and want to do some trains speak up.
I could use some help.

Hi James.
You have moved to another part of the Galaxy !
Your teleported digits, blasted-off over to 'On30'
"Jim, you're on a 5-year mission ...
... to boldly go where no basement has gone before !"

Are there any 1:48, 30mm Star Trek figures available ?
I'd love to have an away team tracking a sasquatch.
I can get the sasquatch but the Starfleet figures are way too big.

Welcome James.
I am a rubber gauger my self.
I currently have an HO scale railroad
in a space that once held an On30 layout.
Not having enough to do,
I am also building a 3/4" scale live steam Shay.
Lots of good folks on the Forum.
Reg

Hi James,
Finding 'Star Trek' figures in close to 1:48 scale might be a problem,
given the way some Hollywood franchises protect their intellectual property.
Have you looked at other military figures used in the wargaming space ?
Shapeways has some figures in the 'Gears of War' and 'Mortal Kombat' genres.
They might not be Star Trek exactly,
but they would give a suitably 'sci-fi military' look.
Good Luck.

Not long ago, I saw figures for one of those collectible figure games
that looked close to O-scale, but for Classic Star Trek.
Peco also makes a British Police Box,
which is a 'TARDIS' from Doctor Who, but without trademark issues.
I have one I built, and wired the upper beacon for a flashing yellow light
(which plugs into the Woodland Scenics plug and play lighting system).
But I don't do whimsical things on my layout.
