a video of DG CC & W RR #16 on the Clarksville Model Railroads old layout. #16 is a Riverossi 3 truck heisler. Cosmetically it has a stack taken from an AHM J W Bowker, which I believe was a Pocher product, but it used some parts that were identical to...
Riverossi locomotives have been prominent on my RR since the beginning. I don't have good records going back that far, but My #2 had always been a Genoa. I had quite a few AHM J W Bowkwers on my roster at time, and have pieces in my project box. the...
looking really good. I'd prefer a lot more separation between the river and the track , but am vary aware of the construction methods that make that quite difficult, but this is going to be pretty never the less.
I still have serious planners block...
Looking really good , I have been doing very little , have been building a laser cur store / gas station, but with no real plans, it's hard to focus down on anything.
I should probably be doing overhauls on all my smallest power, to prep them for a...
Tom, the Berghausen-Shoemaker Sawmill, on my RR, is built directly on top of it's foamcore mockup.
I was going to do a board by boaed build, but decided to plank the inside and outside of the mockup instead. good thing I did, cause 30 years...
I'm still here. was posting photos off my phone, and that no longer works. could find no maximum size file info after the platform change, so a lot of error and trial to get my camera settings to work.
also been preparing for retirement and a...
Back from Christmas Break at the Houston Bungalow, have the house most of the way set up
while not in the middle of a forest, like our farmhouse, this one has a spectacular live oak tree. the RR will be in the workshop and the garage, leaving...
anybody home. am fixing to move to the big city, and have less space. the wife has sugested I do something completely different, and the only thing I can think of that would be entertaining is old time stuff.
any 4-4-0s and 2-6-0s in N that run...
Like the scenery work. like Bigfoot too, have measurements on my Texas space, but my photos are on the phone, and too big to post on Zealot, maybe I'll take my camera next trip sadly the Texas space is not Texas sized.
the layout room really needs...
We have a 40’s bungalow in the Garden Oaks neighborhood in Houston. There is a 11x 18 workshop off the garage that has AC. Thinking of using half that space for the RR, with a long run along the walls of the garage on shelves.
I'm liking the way this is looking! isn't homabed wonderful stuff. I've not liked the diea of mounting track directly on foam, but homabed on foam will probably give much beter support.
I am studying options for the new house in Houston TX. Jennifer has suggested that I put a layout in one stall of the garage, leaving enough room for a car in the other, but Being able to use the second stall area when a car is parked in there, and using the workshop as a combination...
In the old days, the maximum file size was clearly stated.
When files would no longer load from the phone, and camera settings that loaded for years no longer would load, I could find no information about maximum file size, and it took a couple weeks of experimentation to come up with settings...
Got a measurement of the craft room off the two car garage on the Houston house. It is. 11.5 X 19, so it is just a tad narrower and a tad shorter than my current RR.
I might be able to build something using either Crooked Creek as a beginning down one wall, or
It might be possible...
Going to be wanting to pick DR. Toms brain soon, picked up some epoxy to do the river in Harlow.
Am going to make a dam using aluminum flashing, which I will screw to the plywood under the Masonite under the river, perhaps sailing the flashing with white glue,
I’ll need to test the epoxy...
on spring break, been at the lake, and likely will go back this weekend, if the weather is good. made some progress on the boxcar roof, and the ore doors on the second ore car. I sanded the roof to smooth it out a little, the milled wood roof was...
