Yall are lucky, its my wife who steals the tools from me. those pesky scrapbookers!

Well I posted this thread last night with a ruff sketch of my trackplan, but asked for its deletion. After some great discussion and input with the fine folks of The Gauge chatroom, and a wonderfull re-vamp from Spitfire, I think I have my dream layout. I do not yet have the room for it, but...

Although I dont have children, isnt that why god invented the butt? Its designed for whoopin.

True I must fall into that category of enjoying the misery of upgrading! The other day I spent around ten bucks at a train swap meet and came home with five bargain bin freight cars. The shells or bodys of the car were in allright shape, but then it was off to the local hobby store where I...

All yours CAS!

Hey N gaugers.... Im in HO, but through months of scratchbuilding, ive stumbled across some things that are just taking up room in my parts box, and I hate to throw them out. I dont have much, just a sheet of N gauge brick styrene and 5 park benches. Ill send these free of charge to anyone who...
