    Eastern Tn logging on the DG CC & W RR 1928

    Hey Bill that's going to be a nice set of hoppers once your done. I think my old age causes me to like the whisker type couplers, much easier to install. I use a very small amount of the white Teflon powder in the box areas to lubricate the coupler, what do you use? I also like your viaduct...

    The Little River Rail Road in Doc Tom's Back Yard

    Hey Tom glad to see your progress, you make it hard for me to keep up on here. The snow pic is beautiful & a fantastic job on the trestle. A snow covered trestle dosen't get any better than that.

    Model of the Week: Weathering a Virginian Box Car

    Thanks Jerry, Bill, Calvin, & Kevin for your comments. My computer has been in my friends shop for awhile & have not been on in awhile. I'm not sure if these VGN cars are Varney or not. There are no markings on the bottom. For the rust effect I used Americana acryilics in the one ounce bottles...

    Levi Barry Coal Co.

    Tunnel Portal Here is my first post in a long time of a tunnel portal for the coal mine area. This will be used coming out of the tunnel behind the coal tipple. First I made a pattern out of some pieces of cardboard from a box. I then transfered this to some 5/16" plywood I had from some...

    Model of the Week: Weathering a Virginian Box Car

    This is my first post in a long time. I would like to see this forum grow into what it use to be. I bought seven of these box cars from a guy at a swap meet for around $20. The first thing I did was give them a good bath. I like many other pieces of rolling stock I take all the horn...

    The Little River Rail Road in Doc Tom's Back Yard

    Thanks Tom, I haven't done a whole lot on the saw mill or the coal mine projects with the exception of a small two stall engine house for the saw mill. I have been buying up a bunch of the old common silver Virginian coal cars from Bachman & Tyco to wprk on this winter. It looks like these cars...

    Car Carrier - Lonestar kit (Not assembled no longer available vehicle)

    Very nice Dave. That's the best looking car carrier I have seen yet! The colors look nice too. The hydraulics add a nice touch. A Company name on the truck door would look good.:twisted:

    Maple Valley Logging & Millwork

    Thanks Mountain Man & Bill. Bill I used dry transfers, the only problem was I had to buy three packs to get enough G's.:mad: With the Heisler I'm also thinking about going with yellow so I can salvage the number on the front boiler plate that the factory put on. My last experience with making...

    rivarossi big boy & challenger manuals

    Hey Jaijef I have several Rivarossi's myself. Here is a link to their engines. The largest HS that supplied for R was here in Cinti but is now gone. Most of those parts are on ebay for some good prices. Let me know if this helps. http://www.hoseeker.org/ahminstructions.html

    Maple Valley Logging & Millwork

    Glad to have you back viewing again. I have been occupied with the Levi Berry Coal project & starting to do some layout work. I also have had a shoulder injury which is limiting my modeling right now. I finally got some dry transfers & decided to letter one of the Shay's.

    The Haitian Sugar Train

    Hey Doc Tom it's good to hear from you that you are safe. I PM you a couple of days ago & was concerned that you were over there. We are all praying for you & many others that will be going over there to help. This is a very sad & horrible thing to happen anywhere but more so in Haiti. We will...

    The Little River Rail Road in Doc Tom's Back Yard

    Sounds like you had a busy day Bill. I use to love working on cars but now I hate it. I just spent a day & a half a few weeks ago putting a radiator in my wifes Jeep. It has a towing package & several coolers in front of the radiator. It wasn't too bad once I got to the radiator :mrgreen:.

    You can sure tell that's not Woodland Scenics Snow. :mrgreen: I was wondering yesterday about your RR getting some snow or not. Fantastic pic, I would frame that & call it "First Snow on the LRRR"
