More thanks to him, I will be able to put some shrubbery on, but that will be later. I will be gone for the next week so this will be the last picture for a while. Thanks for...

    Odd ball scene

    Star Wars and trains, good combination!:thumb: Now mix Trains, Star Wars, and Lego blocks and you have the trifecta of happy times :-) I love whimsical railroads. Can never argue if they aren't prototypical.

    New Nscale layout design... version 1

    I think if you follow the side of you track with your tabletop in the bottom left-hand corner like you did in the center, you wouldn't have that reach issue. Or at least put in a nook right behind the yard. What are the radius' on your curves? I have been running my UP Passenger train on my new...

    Idaho Springs Mine (Campbell craftsman kit)

    I can already tell that it is going to look great! I like how your weathering looks. I do however, have to argue with you about your hobby shop being the worst. I am fairly sure that yours would be a welcome upgrade to mine :-) Unless you are into planes, the entire store in dedicated to...

    I quit!

    Good for you! A few years ago a guy was in the office trying to find a way to save money and we figured out that at his rate of smoking (a pack a day) it would be over $1,500 a year. It has to be more now. So look how much more money you will have for trains (or anything else that you might...

    ls1gto, It is approximately 5 feet long and at it's widest 27" but with its weird shape there is always a little wiggle room in that. Well, Mooreway and Trainnut did a great thing for me. They decided I needed stuff so they went out and bought the ground cover that I needed to complete my...

    A Sad Day Here

    Union Pacific Modelers...

    Its a turbine engine, he didn't talk about that one much. He did talk about the fuel for them, pull the oil out of the ground, run it through a strainer, put it in the engine. I guess he worked on the turbines back then. Will have to talk to him more when less people are around. No O scale...
