Thanks everyone. Jon the sets are listed on the web site www.rustystumps.com under the store button. No, I'm sorry, the phone ain't ringing at all. It's a select item and not for everyone. I was a little wondering when I got into it just how well it would sell. As Casey knows I've yet to make...

Jon, 1stplacehobbies.com told me about six months ago that they were trying to put together a storefront. Should have been opened by now. They are located up near Ft. Wayne, IN. And I second you on them, good company to do business with. Walt:D

Gads, after looking at these photos I think I'll move to the hills of Tennessee and take up basket weaving!:eek: :( Great shots and mods everyone!:D :p

Val, Actually I did do a reply, all nice and everything. Then hit the wrong key evidently and lost it. I gave up at that point as I wasn't having a good day of it. I think it's a good idea. Make a list if you get a chance and if you see some actual pieces on a building or home take a picture...

Thanks for the kind words and encouragement folks, it's appreceiated very much. I think things will pick up a bit now that we are heading towards Winter..... sorry about that!;) Well got to get back to the tasks on hand. I'm in the middle of rebuilding all my servers and desktops. Tried...

Thanks Val, I started them because I couldn't find anything like them. I bought a box of stumps on eBay to find these little metal castings that looked like solder droppings. I carved the stumps and then make RTV molds and then cast the resin. On encouragement from folks like Casey Feedwater...

Hi Jon; I did send out five Press Kits which consisted of a half dozen samples, press release, catalog sheet, photo disk, etc. to leading model railroad magazines such as Model Railroader, Timber Times, Small Gauge Gazzet, etc. Trains.com had a right up on their web site and a few of the...

Hi Mike, (1) It could be just an as needed product, who knows. Some have expressed interest in other items like fallen logs, etc. but the cost of developement is such that I have to start getting something back on my initial investment first. Plus as a consultant business is tough at best...

Hey Paul, Thanks for the kind remarks on the site, but, no, there have been no sales at all. I've just downgraded the site to a basic one taking out the Ecommerce part. It was costing me $75 a month now it's $20. Got to save money somehow!:p Have you tried going back over to Railroad-Line...

Evidently the Model Railroad society is populated with a bunch of prudes! Nah, that couldn't be! :p :D :) ;) I've run into this kind of thinking elsewhere. I worked for a fellow who threw his son out of the office because the guy said "cheeees". The old man absolutely thought he was...

My complaint too Shamus, it's too hard to pick one to be best so I vote for all of them!:D :p

Hey Casey, Try experimenting with the duo-tone feature in PhotoShop. Try reds and blues as well as orange and last try dark grey for the second color.

For those who might be interested my website for the stumps is now up and running, taking orders!:D It's: http://www.rustystumps.com Stop by and take a gander I will be adding items later this year as I'm a little busy with my regular company right now. Walt

84 Lumber Photos Ready Hey Bluepoint, The 84 Lumber Company photos are ready. Just go to the following URL http://www.aimtrainers.com/84-photos.htm Hope that works for you. I'll keep the photos around for two weeks then I'll need to clear the space. Walt

84 Lumber Photos BluePoint, got those pictures of the local 84 Lumber today. I'll get them up on my website and give you a URL thread to get them. Walt

As stated earlier, the "beaded" foam board is much messier in that the beads tend to break off and also because of the static in them they cling to everything in site. Why not use the pink or white regular insulation foam board. It's available at most lumber warehouse companies like Home...

Hi Pat, We have an 84 Lumber south of us about 5 miles although I don't think it'll be there too much longer. They just build a new Home Depot right beside it and a Menard's just around the corner. If I can I'll try and get some photos in the next week or two and Email them to you. Walt...

Rich, It's all relative!:eek: It's hard to model something as small as you want even with a magnifing glass of X10! They do have 6' trunks in Penn. I'm sure. So the 3' HO would work in N!:D As I said earlier, I intend to create an number more of that size with a smoother detail just got to...

Hi Paul, I may take you up on that when I get the book on the e-commerce site. I use FrontPage2000 quite a bit and I'm real farmilar with it as you can tell by my main site http://www.aimtrainers.com but incorportating a e-commerce together with a FP site is something else. You have to maintain...

Hey Casey, seeing your fired up to build another loco, remember I have that 2 truck HOn3 Shay roundhouse kit here you could put together. :D Should I ship it out?:p If so, how soon can I expect it back?:confused:
