Sorry to bring up an old thread (not really), but I just saw a special on Northlandz on the ol' boob tube and just the sheer size of it looks incredible. Just the stats alone are a little mind numbing... Tour Length - 1 Mile Highest Mountain - 30 feet(6,000 scale feet) Longest Bridge - 40 feet...

Neat stuff! If it was mentioned earlier, I missed it... is your trackwork 100% finished?

Rio Grande 01488 or 01481 take your pick.

This reminds me of that card game called UNO. Santa Fe caboose #999813.

I have, but it's slow going. I've put a lot of work into a retaining wall and now I've decided I'd rather do it a different way. I'll post some pics soon.

We had another swap meet here in Phoenix today and I almost didn't go. In the past, it almost takes as long to wait in line as it does to walk through all the aisles. Today was an exception. I arrived at 9a.m. sharp, waited in line for 3-4 minutes and spent the next hour and a half poking my way...

Which character I think is the question?:p

I'd like to meet you someday Mountain Man! You remind me a lot of my father.

I'm a deacon for our church and I am hopelessly obsessed with trains. I'm also a graphics designer and love creating the scenery for my layout. I call it my art. I thought however, that the interest in trains was a man thing in that our brains crave that repetition, linearity and order that a...

The whole roundhouse fit.... for now. I'm still toying with ideas for that. And yep, I plan on treating the bricks to look more realistic. The whole scene needs desperate help for that matter but that'll come soon enough!

Hmmm, didn't turn out too bad for a free turntable and a $5 roundhouse if I do say so myself. Granted, I still have a longggg ways to go. I'm kinda wishing I'da painted that turntable before I got it all installed. It's gonna be a lot harder now. Still, you get the idea of how I solved the...

I snagged these for a quarter a piece at the swap meet last weekend!

According to the new energy law just approved by congress, it will have to be changed over to a CFL by 2012.

Ditto that.

Initially I did but after considering what it would take, my laziness gave in and I figured it'd be easier to leave it at foam level and instead, build up the scenery around it giving the impression that it sits at ground level.:cool: Hmmm, in order to make it fit where I want it to with the...

Okay, so since I haven't really accomplished much since June, I figured it was time to come out of my slump and make some progress. First up - I've got this motorized turntable I've had laying around forever. While it's not the best of quality, it's what I've got and I'm going to see what I...

My attempt at an old timey shot... Another F unit shot...

I'll be there. I recently renewed my membership there 'cause I got tired of not being able to run my really long trains at home.
