Nazgul, I really like your whitewater on the falls, what did you use, cotton? A lot of really nice photos, too many to make mention of. But I do want to say how innovative I thought it was to use an optivisor as a close up lens. What a nut. The cars look great, btw, but that is to be...

Val, when I was in the market for the programming track booster (to differentiate from a booster for track power) I asked for opinions of the Soundtrax booster versus Tony's booster. The feedback that I got was that they were equivalents. As I mentioned above, I bought Tony's, its done the...

Val, from back when I researched the Digitrax command stations (a long time ago) I was surprised that the Empire Builder was the only one which did not allow reading back cv's. The Zehpyr does, as does the Chief, Why the mid level unit does not baffles me, unless they have changed this...

slekjr, where is that photo from? So many questions...What road are thise units from? LV? #6731 looks like it ran off the end of its track, almost blocking the track in the foreground. I love Alcos, love the photo!

There aren't many angles I can get photos from without showing incomplete areas. This photo looks down the length of the yard cropped to get rid of as much unfinished area as possible. The pink and blue foan area will be the engine servicing facility. The main line is to the right, the two...

The throat of the JGL's Blaksley Yard was busy when I snapped this photo. The yard serves a similar purpose on my layout as the New Havens Maybrook Yard. Many railroads meet here, several utilizing trackage rights, to interchange cars. Here, an Erie berk is entering the yard from left, while...

I'm sorry, I feel no compassion for her, just the family.

I ballast just as Doc Wayne does, with one exception, I paint my rail after ballasting. This due mainly to the fact I handlaid for years, it was so easy to ballast prior to laying rail I got in the habit of painting afterwards. Look at much prototype trackage (not all, I know) and you will...

Stay alert and be ready to turn off the power supply the first few times you throw the turnout, some switches weld themselves together due to the electrical arcing caused during disconnect. This is more a problem when using dc than ac to power the turnouts.

Kurt, The house is looking great, another awesome model.

nkp, that copper thief sure does souned like a leading candidate! What an idiot.

Your problem may be that the DH123 only has outputs for the front and rear headlights. The green and purple wires can not be used. You need a DH163 to use those leads.

I just got back from a short vacation to upstate NY and Toronto, while in NY I stayed at a B&B in Filver Springs. The old Erie main runs though here, the B&B doesn't mention it is across the street. Funny, the owner told us to close the windows and run the ac so the trains wouldn't be so loud...

Thanks Wayne, they are just sedum with ground foam on them. That scene was without trees for years and one day I decided to get trees in there, now. I had a bunch of the dried sedum from our garden and was only going to use it for branch material, as the plant is pretty much tops only. But...
