Hello mr. Shame! TT= 1:120, which is smaller than HO, do your research. Research before you begin to type something on this forum, please for the benefit of other people who want to know the correct answers to their questions. S scale IS a major scale, it's not just American Flyer anymore...

DO any of crandall's work survive today, or were they all scrapped?

Love that abandoned Tug, and the lift bridges are indeed impressive!

Heh, and do you plan to add a "half-bakery" to your layout? George, What does DeckRoid mean BTW?!?

That looks fantastic, and I really admire you for stringing up cantenary! WOW!

Excellent Diagram! I really loved how you approached it. The Answer to your question is "YES!" you're correct. (At least that's how I do this when I work around equipment like this.

CH-54 Skycrane, perhaps? CH-54 Tarhe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The GN had plenty of them, and amazingly some of the original GN SD9's are still used by the BNSF, albeit heavily rebuilt. I'd suggest buying a replacement shell for it though, I think it'd be a real pain to deal with the SP shell otherwise. In addition, I think it'd be best to find the shell...

Send me the Issue and I'll see if I concur! sign1 I'll see if I can check it out.

OMG!!! I just connected the dots as well!! EEK!

Heh, when you realize that when all is said and done, including the building, prep, painting, and fountation, I'll set you back $10,000. Does that phase you? How about the other $10,000 (from nuts and bolts, lumber, buildings, track, DCC, and rolling stock...) that you'll pour into your layout...

Gary the conductor started out his job 5-10 years ago throwing switches in horrible weather battling the elements, animals & Reptiles, dehydration, and monotonous work, not to mention extreme danger at times, working between cars, replacing couplers and the like, I'd REALLY bet that the...

You would typically have 1 conductor to handle car movements, paperwork, and lading bills. The Engineer, of course! Perhaps 1-2 brakemen riding in the cab as well, (Front and Rear Brakemen Respectively. I suggest you run with cabooses, so one of the brakemen and the conductor can ride in comfort...

I want Athearn to finally come out with their Daylight, a GS-3 (Single headlight Daylight Steam to those who don't know) I also Want Athearn to finally release their SP MT-4 Mountain!!! Also, DCC equipped IHC locomotives wouldn't hurt. I know for sure that they're planning this for the...

Alwyas nice to see some progress on your layout, and you seem to accumulate locomotives just like I do! :)

It looks like your truck building project got a smidge larger, judging by your last photograph. Where was that photo taken? You're doing something very amazing, how about turning it into an Article for RMC or MR?
