That's a good idea for the grout, Val. A swell building! TrainClown ;)

This one struck a chord with me. Runaway Train Call you up in the middle of the night Like a firefly without a light You were there like a slow torch burning I was a key that could use a little turning So tired that I couldn't even sleep So many secrets I couldn't keep Promised...

Some people say what I do for work is a hobby, and I guess it is for some. I'm a puppet builder, and I build all sorts of puppets for TV, movie and live shows. There is a lot involved with some of the puppet constructions I have done and over the years I have developed quite an arsenal of...

An old-timer like one of these bad boys would be perfect! :cool: :thumb: TrainClown :D

Dry Ice Idea Details Ok, so you want to model Ol' Faithful. Now the problem with Co2 gas is that, it is just that, a gas, and once you release it, it goes up and out into the atmosphere and that's it. Plus the fact that all that pressure would not look like the real thing. Now here is how I...

I would use dry ice to do this effect. TrainClown ;)

Ok, let me try and help. This is how I see it. The yellow track and the red rack make up your main line loop. The red section is so you can isolate this section for yard work. The light purple track is the main yard and the dark purple is a place to park engines. The blue is for the saw...

So you like that link? Well here is one with a different way or two to do the same sort of thing. http://members.shaw.ca/sask.rail/model-book/manual-throws/manual-throws.html TrainClown :wave:

Good to see you up and running. ;) TrainClown :D

I never noticed that Bob. Well spotted. Jeff, if it is an experiment, then it could be a costly one if the thing failed and they lost the bridge and the train. I was thinking about the trees beneath the north span, but would a railroad make concessations for an orchard? Isn't the "right of...

Start at the mill and then build up. The way your engine points is not important IMO. Depending on how long a mill has been working, the tracks can go a long way into the woods. TrainClown ;)

This next view is the way you see it from the road.

About 20 km from Regina is a small town called Belle Plain. You cant miss it, it's right where the road curves to go over the train tracks. Every time I go by there, I noticed this odd house's roof line. Well, the last time I went out that way, I stopped to get some pix. I'm going to make a...

Boxcar Betty beats odds Survives 13 days sealed in rail car! Read all about it! http://www.canada.com/regina/leaderpost/news/story.html?id=1af6e5df-7f3b-4abb-9a4b-2ce84b299967 TrainClown

Wish I had a milling machine like you have there. So you make stuff for sale. Have you ever considered making parts for sale? Someone could send you the specs and you could turn out the parts needed. Just a thought. Real nice work ;) TrainClown :D

Either Rube Goldberg designed this bridge, or they built it out of all the left over parts they had cluttering up the yard. I've never seen a bridge like this. I was doing a puppet show at the 15 Wing air force base, just south of Moose Jaw, and there it was. In all it's weird glory. :eek...

WOW! You sure got a few feet of track there! How many feet are you up to and how far will the layout go? The most unusual layout I've seen here on the gauge or anywhere. Jolly good :D TrainClown ;)

Hey Robin, As it turns out, I was on my way to do a puppet show at 15-Wing air base and this bridge is right along the way about 2 kms from the base. How about that? ;) TrainClown :D

I was out by Moose Jaw the other day and came accross this. Isn't that a plate girder section in the center? This would make a nice model. TrainClown ;)
