Dan, I invite you over here, to a nice modelrailroading site, and what do you do? You make a very succesfull attempt to make my modeling skills look bad. Just kidding, you indeed do have some very impressive skills, and that layout looks like it has some AMAZING photo oppurtunities. :thumb...

No naps here, I got about a 3 hour start on ripping up the kitchen floor. :razz:

Were all done with the festivities for the day here, but happy thanksgiving to all of you guys out there also. Got a little ballasting done today, nothing better than a day to work on the trains, and then have a big meal with some of the family.

Its hard with how busy Ive been, and the lack of funds, which is also why I cant afford the nice DMIR locos you have and why I never made that trip up there this summer. I cant imagine how Ill afford walthers new $120 ore dock kit.

Awesome to see you here.

That backdrop has a way to go still, but at least I have a start.

I figured youd like that picture. Lets see, soo many questions, where do I start? The pallets are actually stacks of lumber, they are just the cheap atlas lumber stack kits, for like $4 a kit. I have one and want another. I painted the ends red. The forklift is a Wiking model of a Stihl, I...

That gives me a pretty good idea..........:rolleyes:

I thouht this looked pretty cool. I still think the hill looks way to steep, especialy to have grass growing on it. :eek:

I think it adds to the corner.

I kicked myself in the butt and cleaned up the basement (trainroom) and have it all back into its "messy order" (I have more than I have room for), but the table is cleaned off and is able to be worked on more. Right now Im working on a loco shed. It will just sit along a wall so its not really...

Thanks! You too have a good turkeyday. Yes the DMIR is a great railroad, too bad that I can finally say its came to the end of the line, no more full maroon consists, and the CN has also began replacing ore cars.

We need to get one thing straight, I HATE it when people pronounce it with an a, its Kevin Krey (pronounced cry). Just kidding. sign1 Anyway, I do have a start to my taconite car fleet. Im modeling the Duluth Missabe and Iron Range railroad, (the DMIR), so thats all that I run.

Nothing has been done lately. The basement is just a mess, and Ive been to lazy to clean it, I was going to do something this weekend, but Im not feeling real well. Ive been real busy lately and have no money to spare on trains, luckily christmas is comming up, so .....

Ive looked at bearco stuff before, very nice, but $$$$$

Around the age of ten, is when I really began to take an intrest in the ships, beyond them just being big boats, and with my interest in the DMIR I am very familiar with Great lakes shipping also, and the Anderson was the first boat I remeber seeing in Two Harbors, I remember sitting out on the...

33 years ago today that the Edmund Fitzgerald sank taking with it all 29 crew memebers in a storm on the big lake. Im a big follower of the event, cant quite decide who I believe on why it happened though. Just read a book, several good points for all cases, but its hard to tell.

Ive never seen the walthers ore boat. Ill need to look. I plan on building one someday. I model the DMIR in Northern MN, and their whole system revolves around their dock facilities, so I NEED to get an ore dock. Id love to add a hullet if they had a prototype for them on the DMIR but they...

Sorry HO King, but I cant help you there. I read in MR today that the next model comming out is the Hullet loader, I cant imagine the ore dock will be far behind!

If you are taking apart your layout you should have plenty of foamboard. Why not give an atempt at carving some? If you can get one to work out good, you could use that to make a mold for more.
