    I totally agree zedob. I speculated to my wife that perhaps the roof of my frieght dock came from discarded corrugated metal siding from a grain bin or other structure. In fact, I had a great idea that I still wish I had excuted... Think about this: 1. Lay out all my corrugated aluminum...

    Team Freight Dock

    zedob, I'm actually a civil engineer with structural background, so a lot of what you say is painfully obvious to me now. However, since I did the structural part of this project when I was in high school, I didn't know this kind of info. I went back and forth on whether or not to redo it...

    Its Monday 7-25-05, Weekend modeling accomplishments!

    A lot done this weekend... Well, the hot weather pushed me back inside... so I got some modeling done. Finished up the roof on this... Scratchbuilt Freight Dock. I also did some work sprucing up a Plastic Ville barn. I'll post some pics once I get a little further. Joel

    Team Freight Dock

    A team freight dock was a place where many different industries and railroad patrons could have goods delivered and picked-up. Boxcars, reefers, flatcars, and many other types of railroad cars could be spotted here for delivery/pick-up. Farmer Jed could pick up his new tractor, Thompson...

    Engine Facility This is going to be the Bacon's Corner Engine Facility. I built this small module back in high school. That Atlas turntable is most likely going to get the treatment shown here... Atlas Turntable Turns More Than Trains. I just like the look of a pit at my turntable more than a...

    Yards! Well, I've got more progress to report. This was done a week ago or so, just been to busy to get the pictures in. This picture shows my staging yard, though not yet complete: Currently I have a short runaround and one stage track built. That line will extend into the foreground as well...

    Corrugated Metal Roof...

    The ribbon cable yielded great results for you there Andrew! Here is my first attempt: In this picture I have a test piece glued down to some cardboard for practing my weathering and corrugation technique. Again, I drybrushed on the rust colored acrylic directly to the foil. I'm going to...

    Corrugated Metal Roof...

    Howdy all, I'm putting a corrugated metal roof on my freight loading dock and I am using aluminum foil. I'm looking for some input on weathering the roof. I'm using aluminum foil partially because I like the thickness of it over the commercially available corrugated roof products... but...

    What Does Everyone Think About Ann Coulter?

    Ack! The Constitution Party... the only party that has me reconsidering my Libertarian stance. Now you've gone and done it... got me thinking again. Thanks for the food for thought Shaygetz, I think we'll get along just fine. :D

    What Does Everyone Think About Ann Coulter?

    And just in case my previous reply causes any ruffled feathers (as posts with any kind of political implications can do) let me just say one thing... I LOVE trains and model railroading. Now, if you can't agree with that statement you just shouldn't be on this forum. :thumb:

    What Does Everyone Think About Ann Coulter?

    I actually enjoy Ann Coulter a great deal... I think she's hilarious. Just my take. I guess you have to understand that she sensationalizes a little bit for entertainment value. She's not just a pundit commentator but an entertainer as well (and I think she'd agree with that statement). I'm...
