My grandad was in WW1. He was a grunt in the trenches. He was at Vimmy (sp) ridge. Never spoke of it to me. He would sing songs from WW1 though. My dad and uncle were in WW2. My dad was in the air force, thats where he met my mom. My uncle was in the navy. That is all I know. They...

Not a bad first build. This is how you would improve it. The roof should over-lap at the edges. You should cut the boards straighter and not work them so much. They look whittled, and you want to try and stay away from that. Less hued, more saw cut like. If you are going for a hued look...

New Posts for me too, But I never read all the new posts. Just the ones I'm interested in or catch my eye. So I picked the ones in the poll I am most inclined to look at. TrainClown

Andrew, can you get a mug shot of that hat robber? I would sure like to see that. TrainClown :D

Build yourself some line sheds. You know. Those little sheds that stand by switches and such. These would be small structures, easy to compleat and can always find a home somewhere on the layout. TrainClown ;)

shortliner, I'm not sure what it is, but here is a better shot to help identify it.TrainClown ;)

After viewing Larry's layout, we mooched through his shop and picked up the odd thing. As we were on our way out I noticed an interesting photo on Larry's wall and so I took a shot of that. This is a small town in Saskatchewan that isn't there no more. After the LHS, Andrew and I drove...

1- I liked the park with the engine on display in this scene. :thumb: 2- This is one end of Larry's N scale layout. 3- How about this N scale Hotel. 4- This is the N scale town and other end of the N scale layout. Notice the bench work of the HO layout above.

1- Larry attempts to get his train to run, but an hours worth of track cleaning before we got there wasn't enough. 2- The business district. 3- These guys plan to sail? :rolleyes: 4- Some of Larry's nice bridges. :thumb: 5- One end of Larry's layout is covered with snow.

Well, the phone rang the other night, and it was our friend Andrew (MasonJar). He was in town for some biz stuff and didn't have much time to spare. We agreed to meet after dinner the next day. With not much more than a couple of hours, I arranged to go to the best LHS. A place called VIP...

Spectacular! What a fine job you did there. TrainClown ;)

I bought this stuff at the LHS tonight. It is called Temp-Low and is a low temperature lead casting element. Has anyone used this stuff for casting parts? I would like to cast parts with it. In rubber or plaster. I would appreciate any info you have on the use of this stuff before I go get all...

Val the spitfire painted that. We made a trade a while back. I think I got the better half of the deal. :) TrainClown ;)
