It looks like a hobby shop in there with all those boxes! Very nice! - Dan

I am very surprised at the number of responses this thread has garnered. I actually didn't plan on replying, since I had already said my piece. However, since you all took the time to write thorough responses to the subject (which I appreciate), I shall chime in. First and foremost, I'm not put...

Why do I have to abide by "the rules"? I'm not a "professional designer". Who cares if I make it up along as I go? That's half the fun for me. Be honest about my results? I think I have. Honestly? I think you're a bit full of yourself. - Dan

lol, Now I can actually switch it too with my new SW1500! Gotta get some shots of it in the mix

Thanks for the compliments on the blue building guys! So a lot of the weekend has been spent working on the "West Corner". Hours and hours of shifting buildings and walls back and forth until I found something I liked. Well, here's what I've got so far: I changed the last two feet before the...

Fantastic Work Wayne! Seeing this type of work really motivates my to improve the quality of my builds! - Dan

Good ideas guys...here's something I came up with that incorporates trucking: Might just do the trick. Unforunately, there is a lot of work to do on that building... That large blue building is made from both of Walther Peterson Tool Specialties and the other one Laughston Shipping (?)...

Pictures look good! I think the exposure on the first ones were pretty much dead on with the exception of three that were a little washed out. I know with my camera, when I shoot in manual it has a gauge for metering exposure, and I typically adjust my settings so I'm just 'one click' under...

Russ Bellinis - Thanks, I will have to grab that issue. I would eventually like to do an elevated highway through the layout. doctorwayne - Thanks! It's winter in Western New York and since I can't be out plowing (for lack of snow) I guess I just have to be content with building them! I read...

Very Nice! How did you go about getting the road striped? - Dan

tomustang - Thanks Tom, the thought of some sort of single column support had not even crossed my mind. With the correct plastruct stock, those shapes should be fairly easy to replicate and it should fit right where I need it to! - Dan

Nice picture, I have a few at home in the album of my brother and I enjoying the Adirondack Scenic Rail Road waaaaay back in those 90s! - Dan

That is a fantastic layout! I really love their bridges...they are very well done!

TruckLover - That reminds me, I have that atlas freeware too, I'll have to dig that out and sketch up a layout. Kevinkrey - Red? Hrmm..might not be happy with the outcome.. Can't wait to see your 920 project too! Russ Bellinis - I see your point and I appreciate your input. Perhaps I need to...

I vote for either CLLX or CLLPX!

nkp174 - You certainly make some good points. I do understand comparing the value of injection molded kits to craftsman kits is like comparing apples to oranges. However, quite a few cornerstone series kits still fetch a good dollar and are quite hard to find. For instance, the steel series...

So I'm curious - say you come across a kit that has long since been out of production and is hard to find. Furthermore, it fetches a decent price on eBay. What do you do? Do you build it? Do you hang on to it? Do you immediately resell it? I'm just curious about what others do. Partially...

I'm on a PC, got something in mind? Here's the latest piece I've been working on for my layout. It's a 1/87 GHQ kit and then I built a plow for it based upon a few different pictures I could find. Once I start to polish it up with some details it will look better. Any suggestions for plow...

railroader9731 - Thanks! cnw1961 - Unforunately the spur that travels over the bridge is just a dead end - for now. Eventually I will draw up a track plan - if it ever stops changing, lol. Any suggestions for drawing it up? I have an autocad program, but not sure that's the best option...

Bass - Thanks! Some forewarning though, working turnouts in is a PITA. Few Updates, I've been working on my bridge. I had a Walther's single track bridge, but it needed a few modifications to allow traffic to pass underneath it. So I took some "engineering license" and redid the support...
