    The log dump

    Hi guys, That is beautiful work. I don't know if you were aware that Shamus died just recently. Here's a thread with information. http://www.zealot.com/forum/showthread.php?t=163968 We're fortunate that he shared his modeling so generously. Ralph

    Rolling stock update (with LOTS of BIG pictures)...

    VERY nice collection Wayne! I think that Bowser Pennsy hopper is my favorite. The weathering is subtle but so effective. Ralph

    Photography Game?

    Cool! Now that I see the rolled up cloth on 9138 the purpose of the cloth is more evident. Ralph

    Photography Game?

    How about that! Cool detail. I do remember putting a piece of cardboard in front of the grill of my old Chryler NewYorker in the winter..an aircraft carrier of a car that I bought used in 1981. :) Thanks for the info Charlie! Ralph

    Charlie, What do you make of the white cloth or flag on the front of that unit? Ralph

    No longer moderating

    Hi all, Just wanted you to know that I will no longer be acting as a moderator here. The timing seems right for me as I realize this next year I won't be able to devote the time to reading all posts like I did as a mod. I do plan to remain a member here, however, and post...

    Weekend Photo Fun 12-12/12-19

    "I don't usually post this early with this many pics, hope I'm not hogging." Post away Kyle! :) Did you photoshop the mist behind the tankers? I like it. Great weathering on the D&M cars. Jeffrey, you get surprise packages from Secret Santas? Nice! I wouldn't mind having a VW bug on...

    Oh man! Look at that! Very picturesque. It'd make a neat Christmas card! Ralph

    Forum Loading Problems?

    Oh yeah. I've been having trouble loading pages. Sometimes I'd get a blank page with "Done" in the lower corner. Seems to be running better now. Ralph

    Dan's Layout

    The blue building is so interesting. I like its angular lines and the curved spurs leading into the loading docks. Ralph

    Lehigh Valley & Keystone Model RR club pics

    Beautiful layout! Thanks for sharing all of the photos. I'm impressed by all the big industry, the large yard, and the attention to detail in every scene. You don't often see canals and locks on rivers on layouts. Very neat! Can we see more? Ralph

    Atlas switches, am i the only one?

    Yep. I've had that problem with a couple and ended up soldering jumper wires as needed to get power flowing through the entire turnout. Ralph

    Christmas video

    It was fun to watch all the smooth running train action. The sequences with the loco lights in the roundhouse were clever and I liked the blowing snow at the end with the Amtrak roll by. I was startled by the hostility in the commentary section below the video. What a shame. Hopefully...

    Scratch build

    Looks good! How did you make the roof shingles? They're great! For constructive criticism: Are the window and doors their original color? Having seen such castings I react to them as if they were right out of the package. Maybe a little paint to give them character? I think a hint of a...

    River and lake railroad ferries in H0?

    I'd agree. I made mine very easy by choosing not to model the typical three track barges that include some of the turnout trackage on the barge deck. Instead I made a two track barge out of a piece of 1X4 pine board. I left the turnout trackage on the float bridge and simply laid two...
