    Adios To All My Gauge Friends!

    Charlie, I've always enjoyed seeing the photos of your great N-scale layout and your excellent kitbashes! (More than once, I've referred to you as the "Art Curren of N scale.") And I've always appreciated the well-worded compliments you've paid to me and others when we've posted photos of our...

    Congrats to Casey: You won!

    Thanks, guys. All of the dioramas are excellent, and I know that made for some difficult decisons at voting time. But that's so typical of the Gauge's photo contests: excellent photos of excellent modeling by all of the contestants month in and month out!

    Weathering Corrugated Aluminum HELP PLEASE

    Fred, the roofing is corrugated aluminum. It's just a different gauge and corrugation pattern than the typical Campbell's stuff. It was made by Builders in Scale, which was sold to CC Crow about a year ago. He may have started producing the siding/roofing materials again, but I don't know for...

    Weathering Corrugated Aluminum HELP PLEASE

    Thanks, Jon. As for the foreceps, no, I still use them on Saturdays. One look at them and most "patients" are discouraged enough to cancel their surgery. It gets me out on the water that much quicker.:D :D :D

    Weathering Corrugated Aluminum HELP PLEASE

    Fred, here's a photo of a roof I finished last night. I used Builders in Scale's corrugated roofing/siding and cut it into the size strips I wanted. Then I dunked the pieces (one at a time) back and forth between Archer Etchant and plain water until I got the look I wanted. I didn't want the...

    NMRA Webmaster's Coice

    Way to go, Paul! :thumb: Just be prepared for a huge increase in traffic to your site. Mine was named the Webmaster's Choice last November, and I had almost 3500 visitors during that month alone! I was really surprised also by the number of emails I received in November as a result. They...

    Daydreaming About On30

    Charlie, what you're describing sounds a good deal like the Mann's Creek Rwy. It was a narrow gauge coal, lumber, and coke hauler with less than 80 miles of trackage through the New River Gorge in West Virginia. It ran Shays until its demise in 1955, and interchanged with the C&O at Sewell, W...

    CM&S/OVT&L in B&W

    Thanks for the compliments, guys. I'm glad you enjoyed the photos. Yep, it is, Tyson. This was one of the test shots I took for Walt's kit labels when he started selling his disconnects. In this photo this size difference (O on HO track) isn't so noticeable. But when I put the train next to...

    Panoramic View

    As if there weren't enough to look at in just one photo :eek:, you put three of them together :eek: :D It's a very creative idea, Paul! I like the effect of the panoramic view.
