I'd really be interested to see how that goes.

Hey Bill what thickness homasote is that?

Hello Doc. I was wondering where you get your corrugated from...or if you make it? Have a safe trip to Haiti! Thanks

Thanks for Vid. Everthang the good doctor said goes for me too. I'm interested in the details of the Mantua/Tyco as I have two(The Chatanooga & the Royal Blue) Wouldn't mind putting them in service. Thanks Again!

Shimmy, shimmy, shimmy. Hey Bill I was just wondering how the driveshaft from the tender affect cornering and change of direction. I have never owned a tender drive other than the Tyco models I have from the seventies, and eighties, which tend to not work very well. I realize the loco's...

Doc , My whole family is praying and we hope you are doing well also. If you are going back be safe.

So I went to Ebay and typed in Fleischmann notice there is an I in there and found 389 listings for fleischmann model railroad stuff. I saw power trucks and many more parts for engines. I know some despise Ebay, but i've found it very useful in that where else you gonna get it! Hope this...

I agree very cool idea...maybe good way to bring out the artists in inner city kids...have a positive grafitti contest...maybe even rural kids take on grafitti! COOL!

Wow I'm pretty excited about this one too! Where'd ya get the trestle? That Loco is beautiful!

Yes it is here that I saw the small spikes, they look as realistic as it gets w/o super-detailing the turnouts/track. I've found some cedar to cut up into ties in my stock, and I'll be starting on my tracklaying project soon!:mrgreen:

Got it thanks Bill!

Bill I wanted to mention that the smaller spikes really looked great on the tracks just can't remember what thread it was this or the "excellent adventure" do you recall what drill size you used for pilot holes?

Holy Smokes that was breathtaking. That bridge is a beautiful creation. I can't begin to express how realistic the slow speed makes the scene...I could imagine you could edit to black and white add some aged film effects and narrate the event! Could be the beginning of your film career...

You're really moving along now. Which way will the water wheel turn on you power house?

I concur Doc...um err Bill! I'd say you hit the spike on the head squarely.

Bill thanks for the reply, but there is no apology necessary, I know it takes a long time to properly prepare before starting the handlaying process. It has taken me since the decision to handlay track....oh about a year to start. Thanks for considering to document the process as I have yet to...

Can't Wait Any Longer Beautiful wood decking, and hey Bill I've been waiting patiently for pics of the track laying...i've started some handlaid myself, but have been waiting for about a month(that's how long you've been threatening to show some pics) to see your work. Oh well I'll just have to...

Very good photos of the geeps...makes a great tool for identification and modeling. I hope you can keep showing pictures of your inventory I'm learning a bunch!

You could use tap con type screws that are installed using a hammer drill(most dewalt cordless have that feature now). We have hung everthing from signs to shelving on concrete walls. You will need the required concrete drill bit to pre-drill for the tap-con screws.
