We have added two new forums to The Whistle Post per suggestions from our members.
First is The Crafteman's Bench. This is a forum to discuss building craftsman kits and scratchbuilding. This is the forum for those of you who like to build things that are more involved, often consisting of 100s of parts. This can be a structure, a car, an engine, etc. Test you modelling skills and show everyone just how you do it!
The Second Forum is Modular Model Railroading. This forum is for those of you who might not have the room for a full-size layout and/or prefer to build modules that join with other modules to create a layout. There are several different standards out there for module building on the NMRA site (
http://www.nmra.org/standards/consist.html#module) and NTRAK (
http://www.ntrak.org/). I'm sure there are others. This is a fun way to enjoy the hobby if space is at a premium.
Enjoy!
