    You've heard it 1000 times before But....

    I'll weigh in on this one. The sound is possible, on some locos, but not on most. The uncoupling can be done as stated, with Scott's warnings... Grades aren't a problem at all because what you aren't taking into consideration is the extra long run you picked up by going to N. Were you to keep...

    Galen, you know, I really think I like the notched caps best! I think it has a more "fitted" look. Great job on this one!! Also great job on getting some other folks to participate on this one with an outstanding thread that is sure to be a help to anyone else who puts this model together...

    They Found One! They Found One!

    Hey!! There is a typo in this one, and goodie for me!!!! Amtrak doesn't have Beach Cove shops, they have Beech Grove shops. Beech Grove is a suburb of Indy, and that puts her in my back yard!!! Hot dog!!! Oh, no, wait..... I', already married! Mine likes trains too, but not like the one in the...

    Thanks for the compliments guys! N scale is tough at times when you want to put the detail into it that the larger scales have, but as you said Galen, it also has it plus side in that something like this looks great. The bricks are so small and together that they really look good. Just for...

    Ocalicreek builds a scalescenes.com card structure!

    I finished mine up as much as it is getting done now due to other projects I am working on as well. One thing that is really different, and alludes to Galen's comments on the clarity of the instrucions was the freight door. Mine is more like a cover over the top of it. It made sense to me to...

    Yikes Miles!! That is a big one! Luckily though the texture of the building should help you out a lot! Looking forward to what you do with it.

    While my over laminated structure was really strong and could easily handle a 2X$ layont on it without damage, I would have done the thing in. Of course, D&Hp-burgh may have less mass than me too!

    I have got the sheets laminated to the stock. I didn't get anything else done and it will probably be Monday before I start posting photos. I will work on it over the rainy weekend but I won't have any way to post them.

    It has been a few days since I checked in on this thread. Great progress Galen! Good thing you cut down that butress thickness. I didn't have the foresight to do that. Scott, sorry I haven't checked back in recently to answer your question. Yes, I will be starting it this week. I have the...

    Not an NCAA fan but I am a fan of the job you have done on this building! Looks very nice! I too like that the sliding door is movable. I few boxes and crates sitting around inside so that you can look through the doors and this model will be in full operation!

    Yep. I check things out there frequently. I have been browsing it by subject (building purpose) lately. I have already spend a lot of time looking through and I am only on the C's.
