That’s the most authentic golf course I’ve seen on a model railroad. Complete with 3 sets of tee markers, hazard markers, etc. On most models, one sees golfers lining up to drive their golf ball into the side of the train or some such.
Just curious, but what scale is that? Also, what is the radius of the curve with the passenger train, and what is the length of the cars? Please don’t think I’m being critical; I’m an advocate of small radii, out of necessity.
I just noticed the out-of-bounds stakes. Very nice touch, but in real life I hate them. Seems like I should be allowed to hit my ball off the ballast if I want to. [:)]
…thankfully![:)]
Thanks for the nice comments. Yes, everything is included : Tee boxes, hole markers, blue, white, red tee markers, elevated green, white and red OB/Lateral Hazard stakes, sand, and water. What else would a golfer want!! [;)]
The layout is HO scale. I have three mainlines in a 5x12 foot layout. Not very prototypical, but I like to run trains! The golf course is on the lower left section of the layout.
The three radii are 22, 24, 26 respetively. The Super Chief passenger train pictured previously and the Metrolink cars below are 85’ in length and run just fine.
I hope this answers all your questions. Michael

10.) The out of scale pet rat crawling over your layout.
9.) Three Stooges doing (fill in the blank).
8.) Unruly mob of plastic people protesting them being called “Plastic-Americans”
7.) An operational Yugo
6.) Cat chasing a dog
5.) G scale model of the sinking of the Titanic
4.) 1970’s Gas Station Lines
3.) The way out of scale pet cat on your layout
2.) Anything related to CSX.
1.) Your 2 year old on your layout.
You know, that’s actually not a bad idea - well into the late 20th century, many waste treatment plants recieved tank-car loads of Chlorine - witness this view of a Newark treatment plant (apparently called the Passiac Valley Sewage Pumping Station) - note the tank-car unloading rack in the North section by Wilson Avenue. Maybe model the unloading rack, the pump & control buildings, and partially model/‘imply’ the treatment tanks in the background/backdrop (this way you won’t have to worry about getting scale turds & toilet paper wads right, in case Mike Rowe stops by to inspect your layout).
Your 2 year old WHAT on your layout?
- NMRA National Convention contest winning (fillintheblank) from 2006?
- Half-eaten sandwich?
- Gift certificate that expired 21 months ago?
- Brass locomotive, with DCC and sound?
- Hand-laid puzzle palace of curving 3-way switches?
As it happens, I have one of the above on my layout.
If you meant 2 year old offspring:
- 45 and 47 years late for the ‘kids.’
- 18 years late for the twin granddaughters.
- 3 years too late for the grandson.
- 1 year too early (and seventeen hundred miles removed) for the great-grandson.
- Anyone else’s - too improbable to mention.
Going back to the original subject - one that I fully intend to model is a sumo tournament in progress, at the outdoor dohyo on the grounds of the five-tiered pagoda.

Naw, the Two year old sandwich is still behind the seat of the car for safe keeping.
I like that a lot, MRH044. Some day I hope to build an HO layout featuring the Super Chief, but for now I’m working on an On30 that will have curves somewhere between 10-15" in radius. Obviously the equipment will be rather short, but I like it.
