Thanks everyone for your comments. I would like to encourage everyone to share their talent as well. Just because some of us are veterans at the hobby don't mean we can't learn from others. I enjoy looking & commenting on other talent as well. Gus although the body of these trucks are metal...

Nice work Bill & Tom or should I say Bill, Tom & Eric.:mrgreen: I like the crane especially mounting it to the rail car on rails. The colors for the tower look good.:thumb:

Hey Steamhead thanks for your interest. To be honest I'm not too thrilled about this Forum much anymore. Not to many people around lately & most people view but don't reply. My scaled lumber stock is low right now, plenty of Poplar scraps but not had much time to mill it. I did do a little...

Hey Tom really good shots. I have a weekness for old trucks & any type of crane. Your track work looks good, some area's are crooked just like the real thing. Hope you meant to do that if not you did good.:mrgreen:

Hey Tom. That gorge would be great to model especially if you could put it on a penninsula where you could see the backdrop of another area to give it tremendous depth. A string of log cars would look good coming around the bend.:thumb:

Confused Hey Steamhead I don't think anybody is choosing sides here. I didn't say I was for or against anybody. My concern was why post the same message on so many of other peoples Threads. They have their own "New Thread" for that purpose. I would not nor do I think anyone else should use...

Sorry guys, in all do respect sounds like a little personal horn tootin to me to go & post yourself on that many threads.

I think that's Paul Bunyans's bull.Got rid of the blue & painted himself to look like a Jersey.

Thanks guys for the comments I appreciate it. I will post more pics as this project progresses.

Hey Frank just found this link & thought you might could use for some reference. They are large scale but the colors are nice. http://www.toytrains1.com/atlas_reefers.htm

I have seen the white but I like the gray better also. Are you using undecorated cars? I haven't found any UD cars that I like yet. I might just go ahead & get some with very little graphics, strip, paint & detail them.

Sorry Bill & Doc got carried away wondering where all the people are at for got my comments. Everything looks great as always. Is that mine building the New River Mine? I took the features of that one & some others that I liked to get the design of my coal mine that I scratchbuilt. I haven't...

Hi Bill It's nice to hear from you, this place has been kind of dead lately. Looking forward to see what you have been up to. I posted some updated pics of my Mill project. I kind of feel like there going into the wind on this forum. Where is everybody at?.

Logging Mill Update I recently added some details to the main building & rigged up a drag chain for the elevator. Drag Chain using some costume jewlry from Michaels. Pulley for the drag chain Main Mill Building As you can see in this pic the glare I am...

Thanks for the info Frank. You have done a fantastic job on those. I did find some of the W&W cars by Branchline,Atlas & Athearn on some Modeling Websites. I like your idea of building them yourself. I did find the decals from Microscale & will be placing a large order. Do you use prorotype...

Hey Toptrain1 Are those last 3 Westcott & Winks cars still available? If so where could I find these. I am really enjoying the collection of cars that have been posted.Thanks & have a good Memorial Day.

No one in the store! I'm glad to see a few people are still around. I know it's Spring but this is a year round hobby. I am very reluctant to post an update on my threads because so many people view but don't reply. It's almost DEAD.

Working on a Logo. Not had much time lately to work on trains but have been working on a Logo & sign for the main Mill building. I will put one of these on the large gable wall. I will try my expertise at decal making later this week. I took a picture of a leaf from a Smokey Mountain Tourist...

Hey Mountain Man you took the same question about the bottle caps right out of my mouth. I figured toptrain1 would say something like that or they gotta go somewhere right.They do look good & along with the whole scene, it looks great.

Hey Guy's I have been enjoying your collection of Reefers. I have a few but nothing as nice as what I have seen. I will post some pic's of what I have soon. I saw this on ebay & thought you might be interested, so check it out...
