    Puddlejumper's (lack of) layout progress...

    I thought I'd start a thread I can post to when some, ANY, progress is made on my layout. Well, technically I don't have a layout, I plan on building an around the walls shelf layout- much less elaborate than Josh's (trucklovers) amazing setup- but for now all I have is my 1'x6' inglenook...

    Can anyone make me a decal?

    I would like to make a refrigerator car for the Hook & Ladder Brewing Co. This is available from them as a sticker and I have one somewhere, but I need decals approximately sized to fit the side of an HO 40 or 50 foot refeer (without the backround and the edges not cut off like in the picture...

    Pronouncing the word "Geep"

    Please excuse me if this seems petty or childish but I was very adamantly corrected this weekend by a railfan who insisted it is pronounced "Gheep". We all have our pet peeves and this one is mine, the infamous GP-series EMD locomotives, GP7-GP60 all inclusive, the General Purpose Workhorse of...

    Model Roster Shot

    For no real reason here is pic of some of my favorite stuff. I don't have a layout right now, so temporarily all I can do is work on my models and admire them. Starting from the back left we have Potomac Line #800, a Life-Like Proto 2000 Heritage 0-8-0, my first and currently only complete...

    Ballast Hopper Kitbash

    Thanks to Loren for posting the pics over in The Real Thing - USA forum http://forum.zealot.com/t153477/ It took me a couple of hours to put together this drawing. It is loosely based on the cars that Loren posted photos of. I know there are some differences but I think it is a good...

    Noob here

    Just wanted to stop in and say hello. :wave: I kinda stumbled upon this forum while searching for photos of the B&O Dockside switchers for reference material for a project. So far as I can tell, the model railroaders here seem to be a much nicer crowd than the "railfans" at forums where I was...
