I am writing to tell you how much I enjoy your magazine. Also I have some pictures of my 3/4-inch steam railroad. My track is made of masonry. That is, the scaffolding is made of left sections of 7x7-3/8. The top half pummis and the bottom half sand and cement. The pummis is so I can nail ties on the left sections. My rails are 3/8 inch square iron put down with brass wood screws. The track is 300 feet and 44 inches with 30 foot radius curves. I have a mountain type 4-8-2 and a Pacific 4-6-2, also a 0-8-0 switcher which I certainly enjoy as a hobby.
