OK...here's the begining of the steam-powered saw... Got pieces from an N scale oil refinery kit, an N scale steam engine, bits of styrene & sprue... I know it's kinda crude looking, but it will be inside the sawmill, & won't show that much...& besides, it was free! :)

WOW! :eek: Cool looking layout, Ron! Can't wait to see some more! :thumb: :cool: :cool: :thumb:

:D sign1 sign1 :D Yeah, the head engineer (pictured above) has allowed some modifications to ease some of the operational "snags"...things are runnin' smooth now! ;) Seriously, though..he wants to play "choo-choo" evry day now! (just like his grandpa) After raising 4 girls who never had more...

Great stuff, Wayne! I love all the "head-end' equipment! What a super job you've done on those E-units! :thumb: :cool: :cool: :thumb:

I don't really know how many layouts I've built...er...I mean started...I've built three to some degree of "completeness"...(is that even a word?) As far as design...I always start with at least a scetchy plan, at least in my head...I might even scetch it out on paper...But it ALWAYS changes to...

VERY cool, Kevin! :thumb: :cool: :cool: :thumb:

"The Underground Model Railroad Community"...??!:confused: Welll...OK...I guess a lot of us DO have our trains in the basement...;) :D sign1

Thanks for the nice comments guys! :) Ron, My sincerest apologies!! :oops: If anyone can understand the frustation of microscopic text, it's ME!! :rolleyes: :curse: What I do is type some of these up off-line on a Word document, & then paste them in (that way, it appears to my boss that I'm...

The next step was to construct some type of log transfer system…I need to preface this by saying that I now very little about sawmills, & logging in general…I’ve just kind of picked up a few things by looking at photos, & doing some reading…So if anybody is expecting any kind of prototypical...

Well, I hope this isn’t going to be a problem, but I did already post some of this in my layout construction thread… But it is in the narrow gauge forum, & there isn’t a whole lot of traffic over there… My chosen project for the “Layout Party” was to construct a small HO scale sawmill…this will...

Hi Steve! You mentioned that the section with yard is 18” wide…that might be a little tight…I was looking at the space at the top of the right aisle, that might work…? Also, if you could widen the yard section to 24”, you would be able to have a 12”, or even a 14” turntable, & a small yard...

I like the plan, Steve! :cool: My only suggestion would be to move the turntable/engine facility over to the section where the yard is, & leave the continuous running/”dogbone” section open for logging, scenery, etc… Keep us posted on your progress! :thumb:

That is a nice kit, Fifer, & you've done a great job with it! :thumb: :cool: :cool: :thumb:

One thing is for sure...there would be no limit to the variety of rolling stock! :cool:

Wow! You've really done a super job on that water! :thumb: :cool: :cool: :thumb:

Nice work! :thumb: :cool: :cool: :thumb:

Great modeling, & great photos, Tom! :thumb: :cool: :cool: :thumb:

Thanks guys! :) I had this little brainstorm the other day, & I used the underframe from this old N scale tank car… …to make this log car in Hon30… Now I need to get the sawmill up & running, so I can start hauling logs!

No offence meant, or taken, BobI guess I should've been a little more good natured about it...Maybe it was just too early in the morning! :rolleyes: It might have been too,that I had to deal with this woman at work Fri. who had transfered up here from another state about a week ago...she griped...

Will, I might have misunderstood the original question...What I meant I had a problem with wasn't the white on blue, but I occasionaly see posts here that are black text on blue, or red text on blue...that is what I have a hard time seeing... I guess I'm a bit of a special case, though...I...
