Hello Bill. Good to hear from you! Yes I can certainly use that hopper car. When I complete the backwoods logging layout I will start on the ET&WNC layout in good ole On30. Thanks for thinking of me.

In keeping with the theme of primitive logging equipment I felt it was time to weather the old Class A Climax to have it look like it too had been around a bit. Thanks for looking. Doc Tom

Good stuff. Very attractive locomotive and rock work looks real nice. Doc Tom

I am amazed at the overall size of this nice model. It represents just how sophisticated and advanced 1840s railroads were. The new transportation system was really taking off. Doc Tom

Hi Zathros. Thanks for the nod. I am hoping to put together a short video story about the RR in the future. I will consider modeling a moonshine still:toast:thumbsup.

Really like all the interesting angles shown. Also the interior shot with the tracks is very nice. Doing good. Doc Tom

I have been doing a little more modeling recently. The “Original Kittom Lumber Company” is an attempt to recreate the early steam technology used in logging circa 1910. So when I read about the Kilgore Log loader in the 2017 On30 Annual I new I had to build one. Here is the patent from 1890...

Really impressed with your persistence. Nothing like a deadline to keep a project on track. Good work. Doc Tom

......or consider bringing ground cover up to the edges of the building and masking the gaposis. Fortunately the real world is not entirely flat and there are undulations in all scenes. Doc Tom

Nice. I like this shot looking through to the other doorway. Shows how long the building is!!! Doc Tom

That is a nice shot. Have you tried converting photos to Black and White? That too imparts an old time look to pics. Might like to see a side by side of this photo and the original lithograph. Might be fun to also display the Litho. at the upcoming show. Keep up the good work!!!:Bravo: Doc...

That is coming along nicely. A very special locomotive. Tom

That is a very nice LARGE diorama. Should be a crowd pleaser at the train show. Maybe a faded red with some weathering???? Agree a brown or tan would like nice too. Doc Tom

Like the colors selected. Looks very nice. Doc Tom

Now that is way cool!!! A lot of thought and math went in to it. I see what you meant now about overlapping trackwork. Very nice. Doc Tom:Congrats:

Thanks Zathros. More to come. Tom

We are back in business! This summer my old railroad shed gave up the ghost and became termite city. We tore it down and prepared for a new mini train house. The Amish/Mennonites from the area in Kentucky in which I work built a new train house that was sledded into a position. We have...

Still here. Sounds like a neat layout you have planned. Any pictures???? Doc Tom

Been there too......sometimes you just got to back away for some time. Amazing how the human mind works.:iagree: Doc Tom

Really like the look of those old steamers and passenger carriages. They fit right in with the older appearing buildings. Tom
