You don't have to be sorry, SD40-2 (I guess, UP is the second name, isn't it? :D). Welcome to the Gauge! The teaser pics are looking fine - surely there's more to show. As it looks, the engines are standing on a layout or a diorama with well done scenery. Feel free to post more of your pics. We...

If you had only a bare hill ridge on top of that vertical rise, I would have made a rock wall. But with the second rail line on top a wall makes perfect sense. And this wall looks darn good! :thumb: I have a spot on my layout with the same problem - perhaps I'll take the liberty to copy your...

Here are a few pics of my layout. So far I finished the tracklaying and wiring for the standard gauge part. But there is no landscaping done yet. Last week I began handlaying track for the narrow gauge yard. In the last pic I already plunked down two Shinohara turnouts, but the following...

Ralph, when reading this thread, just for fun I entered 'fl9.com' in my browser. And - lo and behold - there is a website of a railfan called Ken Fitzgerald, who shows lots of beatiful RR photographs. Among them - you guessed it! :D - there is a pic of a FL9 in the scheme you chose: Ex New...

Handlaid track

The Gauge! :thumb::thumb::thumb:

I wish more and more I could live near the stretch of track where you do your railfanning photo excursions! :D Greta models, great weathering, greath photography! Thanks for showing your pics, Tom. :thumb::thumb::thumb: A question: Are those hoppers modelled after existing prototypes, or is...

Wow, Ron, this is quite an impressive bridge! I admire your patience - there must be hundreds of pieces that you had to trim and fit together. :thumb::thumb::thumb: My best wishes for the health and a fast recovery of your wife. Ron

You are right, Heljan trestles are styrene plastic kits. I haven't built a trestle, but here is a pic of the Heljan coaling tower wich also has lots of "wooden" beams. It is a bit annoying that there are lots of flat, round dimples which are produced when the part is pushed out of the mold...

It looks like your camera has some problems with (auto?)focusing. As it seems, the train REALLY IS in the focusing range, since in the first pic there is a zone - about halfway between camera and loco - where track and ballast are in sharp focus. So it should be technically possible to get a...

Hi Don! In this case my wish for you is, that you ALWAYS can get that the stuff you really want to have! :):):) Happy Birthday to you, and all the best wishes for many more! The same good wishes go to Allan's 3/4 Century Birthday :D:thumb::wave: and to the youngster in the trio, NYCNewbie! Ron

Those are beautiful flowers, Don! I'm also amazed every time when I see a blooming catus. The blossoms are really spectacular. Are they pollinated quite normally by bees? Some species of cacti are also pollinated by flies (but then the blossoms stink) or even by small lizards which feed on the...
