Hey Mixy,
What would it take to get some Marx switches added to the track libraries? Marx was the cheaper O gauge train sets that were available versus Lionel. I have some automatic Marx switches that I may need to use on a layout.
Thanks for all your efforts on a great program.

Hey Russ,
Here are some measurements for the Flyer Water Tower:
Base: 5 7/8" in diameter. 1/2 " tall
Concrete piers are 1 5/16 "tall. 0.95" in diameter on bottom, .75" in diameter on top.
Support girders are 4 1/4" tall to bottom of tank.
Tank: 4 1/4" tall. 5 7/8 " in diameter
Spout 3 1/4" long from tank
Ladder: 8 3/8" long. 3/4" wide.
I will post each accessory separately or I can put them all on one if you would like.
Thanks a ton for your work!
Russell
Russell, how about a PM to me with the AF part number and then the basic dimensions, need left to right, front to back, and then the height. Don't need all of the detailed stuff. These are mostly place holders to show how they would look on your layout. As I get each structure done, I'll post it back to here, a pix and a Scarm. Russ

Measurements, and part numbers from a catalog/verifiable documents. I think he might want a catalog to be complete also.

Will do.

Uh-Oh, That will be a problem. I cannot find any Marx catalogs with track and even accessories. I have a couple of things, but I don't think I'll find what is needed.

Russ,
I can't see anywhere that allows PM's. What am I missing?
Thx,

I don't Post much but have in joyed this forum a lot and have gotten a lot of ideas so I thought I would post a file I created over the weekend of the lionel covered bridge. Also does anyone know of a way to use absolute dim. when using figures?
Great additional check it out on my updated layout. Thanks for adding.
know of a way to use absolute dim. when using figures? Not directly like in a dialog box. But as you are drawing the figure on the bottom left hand corner it will show you what the dimensions are for the object you are drawing. It is accurate to the accuracy of your mouse or pointing device. I can usually get it within a 100th or so and for purposes of designing a layout that is usually'good enough'. Russ
Thanks Russ that is what I thought but thought some more familiar with the program might know something I did not.
Great SCARM layouts and structures are collected in this topic 
Here is one more O-gauge layout from SCARM database:
The Expansion of Lucasville O-gauge Train Layout
And one nice comparison between the 3D view in SCARM and actual layout (still under reconstruction):

I am new to using SCARM so this may have been answered before. I would like to use some of the SCARM files in this thread. How do you import them to my PC? Everything I have tried opens the "code" of the file.
If this is answered somewhere else, please point me in the right direction.
Thanks

You have to get your browser to download the link, not open it. In Chrome, for me, you right click on the link and "save target as." I think holding the control button and clicking might help in other browsers. The trick is you have to DOWNLOAD it, not OPEN it. That might help if you need to google the answer for your particular browser.

Merlin1280,
You spent a lot of time creating some nice 3D structures. Are they scaled to a manufacturer's dimensions or are they close approximations?
Very nice use of the 3D and tools in SCARM!
John D. - Thanks for the help. In Firefox, it is "right click" on the SCARM file in this thread and then "Save Link As". After saving the file, I can now open them.
Are all of the SCARM files in this and other threads saved in a central "library" somewhere? I am interested in Lionel Post War accessories at this time and would like to find more of those.
Thanks
Dennis

here's some - no - this is the only centralized location
Hi Carl, How does one go about making a saving a library in scarm with all the buildings in the link you provided?
mike g. posted:Hi Carl, How does one go about making a saving a library in scarm with all the buildings in the link you provided?
I created a folder named SCARM Structures. I save anything there. Name whatever you like to identify it. if you want to get something off a layout file, first open the layout. next open a second instance of SCARM. Then select the item in the layout and copy. Go to the second instance of SCARM and paste. Now, name that file save it to SCARM Structures.
Do the reverse to add a structure to a layout plan. Capiche?
mike g. posted:Hi Carl, How does one go about making a saving a library in scarm with all the buildings in the link you provided?
Sorry, Mike, I may have misunderstood your question. The end user cannot create a library in the software in the libraries panel. One needs to store the structures and such outside of the software.
I like the tools and features that Mixy is working on rather than have him spend time on object development. I am ok storing stuff locally.
Sounds easy enough I will give it a try a little later after I get my House and Yard work done, before the wife gets home from work! LOL
Hi Carl, I tried to download the a file from the link you put up and all I got was numbers. Any ideas?
Mike,
I tried a couple and had to use "Save Target As" and then rename the file changing the ".HTM" to ".SCARM". I tried some more and didn't have to rename them because they already had the ".SCARM" extension.
Thanks Dave, I just tried it as saving target as and it worked fine, Thanks again.
Glad to help, Mike.
Looks like I get to start building my Train Room after the snow melts! LOL
John D. posted:WOW! There are so many good ideas here. Would you guys be willing to upload them to my library website: www.SCARMHiRailers.com ? Since this forum is but one spot where us O-Gauge/Scale modellers hang out, Dad and I started this website so that everyone could upload and download freely.
I'm still working on the track plan uploads. If you want to upload an entire track plan, email me and I'll do it manually.
Due to copyright license and whatnot, I don't want to just download all of your stuff and upload it myself. I'd much rather have your permission.
Thanks!
I have tried registering, but get a "forbidden" message when I hit the submit key....

I get the same thing, plus AVG didn't like the site today even though it had no problem the other day.
Same Problem here!
Ugh. I'll have to talk to the software team. Dad is probably asleep by now so tomorrow perhaps.
No problem, it happens at the most in opportune times.
Seems I forgot that Dad moved the site to a new server. We need to enable the script permissions. We've both been super busy and forgot. We both need to be available for testing, etc since we have to do this live. I think we have time this weekend scheduled to fix this (also for me to learn more about how to do this on my own!).
So here's an update on SCARMHiRailers.com:
We moved to a more secure server that has twice the encryption (128 vs 64 bit). Dad spent Friday and Saturday getting all of the scripts he wrote working and we tested them out. So the site is working again...but there's a minor catch. Passwords are server encrypted. Moving the password file over to the new server doesn't work. The password file itself is encrypted and I can't even read my own password out of it. The solution is that you'll have to re-register. I'm in the process of emailing all previous users to inform them as well. Sorry about the inconvenience. If you have any issues, please email me privately or follow the contact us link on the site.
We're also hoping to add a few new features to the site someday. We have a long list of ideas and a short list of free time (ain't it always the case?!)
John (and his Dad, Joe).
Any thoughts on how to scale up the (rather-tacky-looking-but-still-appreciated) trees already in SCARM?
I need bigger trees for a garden layout design....
thanks
You can copy/paste the tree from the SCARM Christmas Layouts which is almost in real size or switch to some G-scale (1/22.5) track library and then select the trees library - they will be already re-scaled.

Now why didn't I think of that! Thanks Mixy
