OK! See you this Saturday at the Train Show in West Chester, Ohio. Saturday noon till 7 pm. & on Sunday from 11am. till 5pm. Don't worry Zelda it will all be over buy Monday.:mrgreen: Maybe Monday we can all show you what we got at The Train Show.

Either one would look good depending on how high your trestle will be. Some of the more smaller ones use basically fallen trees & I would roughen skewers up slightly to keep them from looking too cylindrical. I would use the sguare stock for the much taller trestle because more of your work...

Thanks guys for the nice comments, I'm going to try to finish this little project up this weekend. We have a local train show this weekend so I will probably get some more toys :mrgreen: I'm really trying to get my Coal Mine out & start working on it soon. My biggest interests are Logging &...

Nice job Bill. Have you decided on what finish roofing material your going to use. It would look good with wooden shakes :mrgreen:

I use to use the cardboard strips & still use Structolite on metal screen. I use mostly various thicknesses of foam mostly now. You can stop by with permission on some commercial job sites that are in the foundation or roof phase & they will give you the scrap foam.This stuff is used to line the...

Looks real good Bill & functional. Did you ever think how nice it would be to have a lazer cutter. I have but it probably wouldn't be as much fun.:mrgreen:

Thanks Bill, Yes on the Central Valley stairs. They make very nice steps,ladders,rails & fencing & their not expensive.

I managed to get some more framing done on the porch & steps. I normally cut my steps but I opted for the plastic this time since they are so long. I will install the windows & maybe some curtains, put the metal roof on & some of the trim next time. Any comments are welcomed &...

No Doc I haven't used it on plastic yet but have wood & it covers very well. I mainly like the color options & the pint size cans that are availiable.

Nice job Frank real neat wiring. Make sure your wife dosen't trap you in the middle of your layout, of coarse that wouldn't be a bad place to be HUH.

Thanks Doc. I am very pleased with this Heisler, the only problem I have is I want about 2 more.:mrgreen: They are some more on ebay availiable for buy it now for $169. I have to slow the train spending down some going into winter. There is a local swap meet next weekend we are going to. My main...

Here is a link I came across of a fellows video he aquired from his Grandfather showing some logging action in the 30's. Makes one appreciate & want to capture more of this history on our layouts. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YH7kHcxXKoY

Hey Bill I'm not sure on the lettering of the new Heisler already with the West Side Lumber Co. on it. I do have a 3 truck Bachman Spectrum Shay that I want to put the "Maple Valley Logging Co." on it. Here is a link I thought you & the Doc might enjoy. Make sure you view page 15 showing the #3...

Saw Mill Office Progress Well I finally got to do some more work on the office building. I thought I would have more time this past week because of so much rain but I actually bidded a painting job :eek: in which I hate doing being a trim carpenter but I got to keep working. Now I have both...

Great idea & I enjoyed your web site as well. Can't beat those old Steamers!

Looking real good Bill. I know what you mean when it comes to using commercial windows. Most of mine are as well but with a little imagination they cut up very well into most any size. I don't know if I mentioned this before but a few yaers ago at a swap meet I met two really nice ole guys from...

Looks real good there Willy4, got to love them Saw Mills. I like the idea of the turntable, I have been trying to incorporate one in mine, but being HO scale this thing is huge already! You've done a fine job.

Shaping up pretty good Frank. Won't be so hot up there now. Our computer room is in the finished attic room similar to your train room, very comfy now.

Bulldogowner is right, tilt your blade a little more, make sure you keep the guide against your wood & the down fall for this not many cuts per blade. Also like mentioned don't cut so deep on first pass. Sometimes you can snip the very end of your blade off after a few cuts & readjust your blade...

Looking good there Bill. When you go working on that bathroom of yours make sure you make the transition well between an Engine House & real BR. You know a BR in the theme of an engine house may not be a bad idea, of coarse the Misses might not like it too much. I know the pain when it comes to...
