I thought it would be a good use for all those 1" satin pins my mother has lying around. I have a box of 400. That'll help with a lot of fencing.
Drove by the local farmers coop today and caught some grain hoppers getting loaded(of course they were done when we came back through and took the pics.
Great pics everyone..!!! Tom...where in the scheme of scales does TT fall..?? Is it between N & Z..? So who's gonna have to back up..??
TT generally (in N. America at least) is 1/10" = 1' or 1:120. The track gauge is .471".
England adopted a scale of 3mm=1' or close to 1:100 (actually 1:101.6666) on 12mm track gauge. (nearly .471")
TT wasn't quite enough smaller than HO (compare S to O) and was zapped by N which really allowed a lot more running in cramped space.

My new found practice of studying proto photos BEFORE finishing the model continues here;

More great pics everyone! Madhatter, that sanding tower makes a great reference for modelers. Kyle, your use of proto photos as models for weathering yields excellent results! Glen, I have tug boat envy!

That is Beautiful! If I ever get a bigger layout with a port, I'm gonna need something like that!
Two GP9s with the lead unit oriented long hood first move out to couple with a transfer run to West Mill and the car float.
