"The Milwaukee did operate a joint iron ore operation with the C&NW in upper Michigan." WHERE? Can you provide any info?

Is the cat names hayes...after the railroad bumper? sign1 Some excellent work here, and definately worth displaying in that display armoire.

Nope, sorry. It cannot be them, because Mantua Does not exist anymore. An HO standard gauge version today would be made by model power, who owns the castings to manufacture them. They aren't On30, they're HO. I know that backwoods miniratures makes On30 conversion kits to make those into an O...

The UIntah Mallet is coming out in On30!?! by whom?

Let's see some more photos of the stuff you got!

Thank goodness! Whew. Had me scared there. Anyways, There isn't room for carfloat ops?

This way THE most awesome story you've EVER done!! (Although quite a few come close) What's this talk about "another layout?" :eek: Oh no! You're not going to tear this one down now are you?

Here's exactly where I'm modeling: Live Local Search Make sure to zoom in, then press "birds-eye view"

Thanks Russ! The trackplan is based on the actual arrangement f the track around this little harbor (it's actually 1:1 ratio modeling here, first I've ever seen!) The Harbor is 100% accurate for the real place, and so is 75% of the track arrangement. I unfortunatley didn't have the space to make...

OR! you could cut the poles in half legnthwise, and glue them to the backdrop rendering them 3D and without a shadow! :)

I would say maybe...I think it would if you go into the gear towers and search and destroy any flash on the gears you might see. I suppose if you really wanted to get into it, you could maybe replace the athear with the atlas, but there's throwing money at "something that ain't broke."

Wow, spectacular! What do you plan to do with the floating track? What type of bridge?

Well, despite one hitch along the way (Re: advantages and disadvantages of foam, lol ((See last photo)) ALL my track is now done. It only took 30 minutes, if that. Thanks to the hard, but quiet foam I managed to lay all my track without waking anyone up. I still need to find a good way to cut...

WOW! I'm SO glad it went well!! :) I was waiting to hear a report, and I agree about the GERN plant, impressive to say the very least! :) I wish I could come visit your layout..alas, I'm a bit far away for a daytrip! ;)
