Just for you Mountain Man I managed to come out of the hills the other day & bought myself a couple of esses just for the sign. There kind of hard to get so sometimes we just use one when we have to.:mrgreen:

Very very nice job on the ballast Doc Tom, I like that a lot. What did you end up using? The mulch looks good next to it too. I hope you had a good Christmas & I wish you & your family a healthy & prosperous New Year.

Hey Bill That's a lot of rocks to be digging out of your kitchen! How long did you have to cook & eat around those. :mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen:

Nice process Bill for the doors, simple but yet accurate & functional. I have an engine house planned in my head for later. hamr I wanted to have some functional doors that would open & close individually. I have got to get my layout up & running. I spent some time with the Grand kids yesterday...

We all mat be weeer yu frum?

Thanks Cidchase, I have already corrected the sign. I guess I was too envolved in finding a prototypical font I didn't notice.

RC Shay Hey Doc Tom here is something else you might enjoy. Check out the covered bridge. http://thescrr.com/shay.html

I'm going to wrap this little build up. I'm not detailing it much until I place it on the layout. I saw a Commisary in a picture where it sat in the forks of 2 roads. There was a blacktop road with the RR going past the right side of the building. On the other side was a gravel road going up...

The dirt I get is top soil not potting soil. It is brown in color. I first zap it in the microwave to kill any organizisms then I sift it. I put the lumps in a coffee can. When I get a good pile of that I put some between two flat patio pavers & grind that up & sift again. I wet the dirt first...

Enjoyed your video Marty. I would go with a medium color so you can see the detail & not to light to look too toyish. I like the grays & blues & maybe a 2 tone? One color on the entry & exit walls & the other on the rotary area. Here is an idea. http://members.trainorders.com/pmack/dumper.htm...

I'm not an O Gauger but most transformers need to have 2 wires connecting to the track. If this is an old timer transformer like the one here then you need to find out how many volts your engine is & connect accordingly to the diagram...

YES ! Marty we need another miner on hear by all means keep posting until you get your 15 then hit us with your pictures.

I'm sorry I was just kidding about not seeing the raisins. I use gray or tan base coats mostly. My washes I use gray, tan & black. I mix the gray & tan 50/50 with water. The black I don't use as much paint maybe 8oz to 16oz of water. Sometimes lastly I dry brush a little white to highlight the...

The Bengals are actually doing very well this year, we are 9-4 & about to clinch our division. I like your choice of Freight doors.

Nice idea on the wall hooks Bill. Is your wife a Titan fan? I am a Bengal fan & an avid fan of Brett Favre. Today's game was not fun to watch.:cry:

Very nice job Dannparks. Enjoyed your site as well. When I glue foam board together & after carving I paint first coat to cause any layer seams to show up. I take spackling compound & fill these areas with my finger slightly not to make a smooth area anywhere. I then paint again. Your fields...

Very created Doc Tom. looks good & a sound system too! I once saw a picture of a layout out West modeling the Sante Fe. The modeler used copper & leather for his fascia, what a site! Just goes to show once we leave the track there isn't much that's standard.:thumb:

Hey Guys will definitely pray for your friend Carl, God is still in the miracle business & knows our needs long before we do. To God be all the Glory! Your doing a great job on the wall Bill, I like how the louvers turned out.

Nice idea Gary60s. You might want to post this over on the Tips,Techniques & Tutorials in the Tips section so a lot of others can enjoy this great idea. Thanks. What are some of your favorite materials to use for power lines. I have used ship makers thread, it isn't so fuzzy up close.
