Well all! After more than a month of unsuccessful tries to log in to The Gauge, post replies, etc., I am finally able to join the great group of modelers once more. This all started when the format was changed, etc. Glad to be back on. Will have some more projects in the works posted...

Bigg E. Whiggs, the CEO of my Georgetown Gilpin & Bergen Park RR requested a special railcar for touring the rail lines between Georgetown through the Giplin territory to Bergen Park. This railcar is quite a departure from my normal bashing/scrachbuilding as this one will be pristine, not...

All, For those whom haven't heard the sad news, Horizon Hobby Distributors (the RC guys) have purchased Athearn. Their policy now is not to sell to any other distributor and all hobby shops must have a storefront operation to be able to purchase Athearn items. Just another way to shut down...

Another project in the works. A 1:20.3 freelance tank car. Bass and pine construction, with each piece individual distressed and then stained with Minwax gray. Weathering to take place as things progress. The tank will be PCV sheathed with brass. More than likely, Accucraft archbar trucks...

Hi all, I haven't forgotten about sending out the MDC Shay tweeks mentioned a few weeks ago. Unfortunately, I have been very busy at the income segment of my life and haven't had a chance to clean up my notes for all to understand. I'll have a couple of weeks off during the holidays and...

All, Here are a couple of photos of the beginnings of a 1:24 scale major bash of a Kalamazoo 4-4-0 into Chicago & West Michigan's # 130 Haskell's Inspection engine. The inspection cab was added to the engine in 1896 at the Muskegon, MI engine shop. There is only one photo of this...

Hey all, Here is a photo I took of the K-27 Mudhen and K-36 outside the Chama roundhouse in 2001. If you haven't had the chance to ride this "Real" narrow gauge RR, you are missing a once in a lifetime chance. One can run wild through the yards, engine house, etc. without any hastle from...

All, for some reason the 1st "Our Club" listed isn't responding to any Emails, etc. Kept getting page not available. So here is a continuance of it. Attached are photos of a couple of my projects. I don't model in "N" anymore. My last specialty train in on its way to Cinnabar...
