Congrats... ...driving the final(?) green spike! Well. I like the long, lanky view I see. I am very jealous of a 60' run. I'm sure you're havin' fun- so- hats off to ya. Yeehaw! Thanks, Mark

That's a nice photo... ...EngineerKyle. I am jealous. Thanks for the inspiration. Moody, early morning light- to me. Mark

Paydirt!!! Thanks doctorwayne! XXXOOO Wow! See, my old curmudgeon of a boss was right, "if I complain enough..." I am thrilled. I smell Kato E8s in the future. Uh, I am faint~~~~~~~~~- all these years. Did you ever see such a beautiful locomotive? OMG!:eek: You really don't know how...

Ralph, that... ...was a good story. An Aesops' fable of sorts. Short, poignant with a glorious tone of re-birth after mishap. Take a look at PVC end caps. No pipe to cap or fabricate a dome for- it is the tank, the dome the whole... You'll hafta steel wool 'em to accept paint. Well, ya...

Geeez- I have the same problem. I'm looking for a photo MR issued showing an early Amtrak E8. Black with the broad band red and blue stripe. I need to know how that E8 looked from the nose. The photo indicated what the "wrap" was as it went around the curved nose. I'm pretty sure it's a...

This is a personal decision... ...to me. I ran Unitrak on plywood and enjoyed the sound (especially a heavy train- 35+ cars). You may not like it. I think it's something you'll have to try and make up your own mind. Mark

Were you... ..gone? Geez- glad to have ya back with the pics:thumb: Mark

Uhmmm, is it "Folk Art" acrylic paint or.. ... acrylic paint?!!! Just what the heck is FolkArt paint? A brand name- does the label say only use on "folk art"? I used a screwdriver as a pry bar once (or 500 times). Hey, I even put ketchup on a hotdog a couple of times when I was in a weird...

Welcome aboard and... ..enjoy it all. Mark

All ya gotta do is... ...take a fine tooth straight screw driver, and "dink" your track as if that's where joints would be (don't do it at actual joints- geez) and have sunk from hammering of wheels. Blake and I did it on an HO Club layout for a rip track- the guys got awfully sore until they...

Got no probs... ...with a Circus- just the time when all the attention was about circus trains- seemed like it, BAD, BAD, BAD. Like- I'm sorry- I couldn't care less but I love the '60's movie with Charlton Heston- What was the name of that movie??? Had Jimmy Stewart in it too. Mark

I can remember when... .. the magazines were infatuated with "CIRCUS TRAINS"- do you remember? Man, that was painful for me- guys modeling a "special" train to be special! Mark

:eek:..and Thomas The Tank Engine THAT!!! It all started with 'Shining Time Station". I preffered that to the what I see today. I miss the characters- Hey if I'm waking up Sunday morning after a hard week at work- I don't need no fellow trying to get me to guess which carbarn Elsie's in. I...

Great find... ...Ralph! I hope I can get a copy here. I just finished replying to a post RE: GG1s here. Coincidence or fate? I'll take both in this case. Mark

I can tell you this... ...much. I have some interior pictures, in my old computer. Had a few posted here sometime ago- can't find 'em. Went thru about a dozen parked GG1s in Kearney, NJ. The layout is an H inside. The cab doors swing in and as wide as you see them they miss the...

Granite Bay Granite Bay That's my gut on this one. Mark:wave:

Hey, from Pennsylvania. That's like "Gooday mate" or what I've seen in the moving pictures as being from down under. At least from me. By the way, what are you folks doing down there???:eek: Welcome aboard, glad to have ya on. Mark
