Great start to the photo Fun as usual guys. I thought I'd show a bit of the city this week Wagner and son transfer and Storage on the waterfront Street side of the same building with the truck loading dock

Thanks for clearing that Up Wayne. That explanation does make the most sense. Thankfully Masonjar has a set of instructions that he is graciously sending to me so soon this Van will be completed.

I think I'll just assemble the little fellow and look into powering it later. I figure 10 bucks was a pretty good price for one and I can always pose it on my waterfront.

The Club that I belong to had a simular problem. It had about 30 members, havlf wanted to work on the layout and operate (fun operate) and the otherhalf either wanted to just sit around (which was okay) or try to tell the others what to do. Things came to a head one night and the other half...

I need the instructions for the P2K 8,000 Gal rivited tank car. I managed to get the lager parts together but could use a little help with the details.

These weekend photo fun threads just keep getting better.

My Club put on a model train show and swap meet this past Saturday. It was well attended by both the public and vendors. I managed to sell a few things of mine and I bought the following with the proceeds: A Proto2000 FA2. Two years ago I bought the B unit off the same fellow who I bought...

Until you mentioned it I didn't notice the markers on the long end. I have seen Canadian National Caboose (vans as they are called in eastern Canada!) run short end forward so that might be the way that railroad ran them. Or it could simply be there was no place to turn the caboose so that was...

I just picked up a Juneco caboose kit that someone else started. I was wondering if anyone here has built any like it. I understand that Juneco made both Canadian National and Candian Pacific caboose kits. Can anyone tell me which one this is so I can get proper decals. I could also use...

This is the 2X8 layout that I started out with: I later used it as the core to my current 15 X 6 layout.

I probably could have lived ithout knowing that.... I am mildly aracnophobic so I didn't check out the link (thanks for the warning) when we renovated our house and took down 6 large pine trees we had spiderod of all kinds coming into the house. Here in the interior of BC we have reletivly...

Speaking of three rail, did anyone remeber the huge Lionel set in Superman Returns?

That was 'Runaway Train'. It was pretty good supposedly set in alaska.

I've got a couple obscure ones that I saw as a kid: The Grey Fox, true story of train robber Billy Miner, co starring a former CPR steamer. Journey of Natty Gann. Its a disney movie obout a girl who travells from Chicago to the pacific northwest to find her father in the thirties. It has...

Those are a couple of good pictures to start us off guys. Here's A CP passenger train that's invaded my mostly Cn layout.

Yes my layout is set in the GWN (took me a minute to relize that wasn't a railroad) The LPB is trying to get some help by the gesturing but everyone else has headed for the 'cold one' at the bar just a couple doors down.

Here's one more shot with the banding on the top. Wayne, thanks for the tip on twisting the thread. it woked out well. I used 3/32 square basswood from a local craftstore to build the load. I thought it looked about right for unfinished lumber that my sawmill would produce.

I thought I'd get back to a model shot after a couple weeks of proto work. This is from the back of my sawmill.

I'm about halfway through a rebuild of a narrow guage version. while I'm not performing surgery on it like you plan to Modifying the steam dome should be fairly straightforward. Just keep checking on your fit as you fill off material. It's always easier to remove that add . I also have the...

Thats a great shot trainsWinniepeg. It brings back memeories of my Father and I running through that same tunnel (on foot) when we did our hike in 1988!
