hey--you still out there?

Train Clown Guess what? I have not fallen off the face of the earth. I have completed the upper shelving with roadbed and track. Even got a train running yesterday. I will now begin taking some pictures and figure out how to upload them to you. I should be able to start on the...

Train Clown Thanks for your reply. I wil look for the radius posting. One other question. Do you recommend using homasote on top of the plywood? PS Do you eat beef up their in Canada?

Train Clown The room is painted and material ordered for the upper rail. Once that is done, we will be ready to begin benchwork. I will be sure to take pictures as the work progresses. Two questions: 1. In the helix design, do the clearances take into account cork roadbed? 2. Would it...

Train Clown IT ARRIVED!! What an awesome job you did! The painters are starting in the room today. I will be sure to start taking pics from here on out. Before I start on your benchwork, I'm going to construct a perimeter line with a reverse loop about a foot below the ceiling. Should create...

Train Clown As of Monday, 6/9, the plans have not arrived. I eagerly look in the mail each day and not here yet. Will let you know when they show up. Need to look at a map and see where you are in Canada.

Train Clown I hope your wife is feeling better. Always remember, "happy wife, happy life". I'm better at preachin than practicing. Let me know how things are going.

Train Clown Howdy howdy. Thought I would touch base and see how you are coming. Curiousity can get the best of me.

Train Clown I am grateful for your efforts and would never expect my work to get in the way of personal stuff. Thanks again. Mark

Train Clown Hey--You still out there? I could use an update! Drywall is going up, electrical is roughed in, progress is being made

Train Clown In terms of power tools, I have access to anything I need. Beggars can't be choosers....patience I have!

Train Clown I'm still thinking custome benchwork given the need to probably build a portion of the benchwork with open stringers.

Train Clown I wouldn't mind if you plopped some roads in the layout design. Could always vary--but would be curious to see your thoughts. Will most likely sit to run trains. I have a 7 and 3 year old and want to make it easy for them. If possible, would like to see your plans for...

Train Clown You are awesome! It is like I have my own private layout designer. When can you start building it? hehehe Seriously, could you send the plans in the mail that have the additional detail?

Train Clown I have given the layout a little more study and thought. Hope you are not tired of me by now. Wanted to mention the following two items to you: 1. Atlas O only makes 36" turns, not 31" 2. In the siding/spur area the size of cars will only lend itself to 2-3 cars per...

Mr. Train Clown Your advice is solid. I appreciate you looking out for my back, head, etc. On the plan you designed, you mentioned there is more detail on the printed copy. Would you be kind enough to mail? Secondly, you mention that the benchwork is not 4x8 sheets of plywood...you...

hey clown here is another thought or question for you. what if i limited the control area to the 7'x6' area of the room and built benchwork over the entire 13'8x 16' area. would need to access by hatches and wiring would be kinda of pain. but my question is this. is it worth the...

Response to TrainClown Hey--you did a great job on the layout. It's going to get built. We cleaned all the crap out of the room this weekend. If you wouldn't mind, send me the plans with the details to: Mark J. Bronder 3241 Browning Street Lincoln, NE. 68516

P.S. There is a window on the north wall in the center of the room. Think I can adjust benchwork heigth to accomadate.
