Can you imagine having 25# of N scale junk?

Use this criteria. If you feel comfortable using something in your project, do so, you don't have to ask. If you feel hesitant about using something, then don't use it. You're on your honor and I know everyone that enters are honorable folk....

yee gads, 25# of junk...

Alright, thanks for the info. I still have a bunch of window peices left over from the assembly of the grain elevator (aparently they were for the acompanying building, the actual milling structure, and that would actualy answer the question why the decals for the main building are on the decal sheet...), along with what looks like the base for the aforementioned structure (man, did Walthers gang-mold the two together?), and some other stuff. I am going to have a challengle literaly with this one, mainly because my junk box isn't as full as you guys have yours.

Shush, a fellow model railroader was clearing it out, and he had some stuff I needed for my Burger King's interior, got it all for $10 shipping.

I may as well announce:

They look "congested enough to be able to use a bunch of scraps

EngineerKyle · 09-17-2007, 06:09 PM

I'm in.

ezdays · 09-17-2007, 06:56 PM

I'm in too, I just don't know what I'm going to build. I got one idea, but I need a plan before I commit...

jbaakko · 09-18-2007, 08:29 PM

Uh oh, I just added a pile more!

nkp174 · 09-21-2007, 02:00 PM

Hmm...I might attempt a cereal board piece of On3 rolling stock...or perhaps a Lionel type toy car...but with On3 trucks so that it looks really odd surrounded by finescale stuff.

Oh Cool!!! Yeah - That might be neat to see

nkp174 · 09-21-2007, 11:42 PM

The coolest thing I can think of would be to find an old motor...maybe some gears...a rubber band...and to produce a locomotive out of trash...a diesel would probably be feasible...but I think I'll aim for a piece of rolling stock.

I've been trying to think of a project and finaly settled on some sort of loading system, pipes and such, for this oil facility. Since the tanks and the fuel barge were made of junk drawer and other misc. parts the loading system should fit right in!

N Gauger · 09-23-2007, 03:55 PM

Sounds like a couple of great ideas!!!!

jbaakko · 09-30-2007, 09:10 PM

By the way, I'm in, started a thread already. Doing some RR related scrap tie handler truck.
