IF you didn't notice I was sort of waiting on the topic. :)

No hands on work. But I have been looking on the net for ideas and all the parts for my last industry spur. Here's a couple photos that I took last night.

here is a pic of my track. The space I'm talking about is in the lower right hand side looking at the pic. The only other idea for use I have had was the plastic transfer from Walthers. I think a scrap yard would be a little more fitting.

I am trying to decide on a industry/business for a spur on my track. I don't have a lot of space. I am sort of thinking of a scrap metal yard/dump. I thought about scratch or kit bashing the office and probably putting a fence around it. My real question is find the right crane to put in the...

ahh yes, one of the best excuses to spend more money on trains. Heck my son is who actually got me back into the hobby shortly after he was born. Now that he is five he helps spend the money at the LHS. Congrats !!!!

Bonk, what line of work are you in? Since I'm in Charlotte I can help spread the word. I'm in Technology and my wife is with the bank. It can't hurt.

Tyson, you got me a little worried. The window keeps its shades closed at all times and the sun does not directyl shine in. Is this going to Cause Problems? If so I will have fix it. Thanks.

Not a whole lot of time but, I was able to do a little grass growing and painting handrails on my p2k GP30. Can't really tell sine I have to wait till night time to get a good pic. I get too much light with that window.

What line of work are you in?

Nice pics. Gives me something to try.

It is a great idea. Probably should start a new one each Sat. night. Tyson my layout is in HO. Usually I get to spend a few hours Saturday or Sunday working on the layout so maybe the title should be Weekend Photo Fun. Thanks all.

now the pic

I was able to spend a couple hours applying some foliage and weathering my pk2000 CSX.

I'm just waiting to see a Big Brown Rail Car. Nice work there 88.

Well, I stopped by and picked up a walthers car to test. And all I had to do was use a pencil eraser for a minute or two. I just spun it back and forth so it would cover too much of the area and low and behold it was gone. It did dull it just a bit but after the numbers are put back on and one...

I have a choice. I can buy a few cement hoppers with the same number and just renumber them or I can buy undecorated hoppers and number them all. What would you do? I guess one thing would depend on how hard and what it would take to get the old number off a walthers hopper. I have no idea. If...

alright, since I was letting everyone know of my problems I might as well tell you this. I think I found someone that has my cars. www.mailcarhobbies.com. I got and email from them that they had them in stock. So I would say if you have a good idea of what you want and you can't find it, check...

I spoke too soon. He tried to get them from Atlas but they are out of production. The site is www.lighthousehobbies.com He was going to take those cars off his site. Thanks 88, I'll check them out. I may take a closer look at the walthers brand since they have decent detail and looks like there...

whew. I finally found someone. The cars are only going to cost me $16 ea. I was tempted to get a few more and sell on ebay and make a nice profit. I shop on Ebay all the time and sometimes it is just incredible what things will sell for. BTW the place that is going to get them for me is...

I used the testors liquid glue in the black bottle. Worked well for me. The only problem was it drying somewhere in the applicator and then you have to keep cutting it back to get some glue out.
