Wow Miles, that's going to be fantastic!!! Good luck with the build. :thumb: Val

Thought of a couple more last night. Right Track, Wrong Train - Cyndi Lauper It Takes a Lot to Laugh - It Takes a Train to Cry - Bob Dylan People Get Ready - The Impressions (Curtis Mayfield) This Train is Bound for Glory - Woodie Guthrie Choo Choo Ch'Boogie - ?? Great thread btw!! Val

Thanks Will - it was a big relief. Josh - that bridge is a new release from Atlas and comes in silver or black. I bought the silver because it reminded me of a bridge in my mom's home town, but Brakie told me most RR bridges were painted black to cut down on the glare from the headlight at...

More progress I have completed the first riser section, and given it a base coat of brown paint. I had a little setback this weekend, when on Friday night I started seeing flashes of light in the corner of my right eye. This can be a symptom of a detached retina, so with great trepidation I...

Night Train -- Bruce Cockburn Folsom Prison Blues -- Johnny Cash

Cool find Mikey!! :thumb: Val

Chris - thanks my friend! I will have a dummy streetcar track - at least that's something. :D Gary and Ken - good to see you both back here again. Thanks for the kind words. :wave: I've been busy with work all week, but the weekend is finally here and I hope to be posting some more progress...

Looking good Chris!! I assume the two strips I see are to contain the roadway - plaster, right? I see my favourite building in that shot - man it's a nice one! I can't believe how quickly your layout is coming together. :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: Mine seems to be taking forever!! Val

Wayne, thanks for posting the photos - I sure wish you could have been the one to buy this building. I hope someone decides to turn it into a RR museum with an operating layout of the Goderich area. Val

Wow Chris!! Truly amazing!!!! :thumb: I love all the little hand-made details - you are certainly earning your craftsman badge!!! Val

Welcome aboard Zigzag! :wave: Nice way to start off - that's a good-looking crossing. I see by the station name that your layout is set in la belle province!! Is Val Josée a real or fictional town? Val

Oh man, I NEED one of those!!! Val

Gary, how about something like this? Stewart Products I-Beam Crane Hoist, $9.40 at Walthers, or you could scratchbuild one from the picture. :D Val

Skylights and incandescent lamps. You can use GOW bulbs inside the building, but if you do, you'll need to make the walls opaque - usually done by painting it black. Val

Nice eye candy guys!!! I never get tired of looking at that sweet layout!!!! :thumb: Val

Wow Gary, I don't think I realized how big your layout is! Here's a couple of suggestions, since you asked. Option 1) complete all track work before doing any more scenery, invite people over for ops sessions, and then get them to help you with the scenery!!! :D :D Option 2) I'd probably want...
