Gary I think details like your unloading crane will really add some more interest to the eye. I don't know ,what are ties plates used for?? On the rails to join them together??? Thanks Pat

Bill ,congrats on winning and well deserved, the details were marvelous, it was a pleasure talking to you and I should have blown off that clinic I had to rush off to and talked to you some more. I sat in on three and really only liked the first one ,all the others were way to basic in nature...

Guys, I would like to actually figure out why things get blocked and how they would be operated. I trying to get a handle on this and the book I have by Bob Schliesher(sp?) only seems to cover the surface and is not detailed enough. Are there any other books that you would recomend that would be...

Pete first off ,welcome to the gauge I hope you find all the info/help you are looking for. I'm sorry I'm in the minority with the next statement but although I love the idea of the short video clips (which will help greatly when modeling) I have to say the qaulity of the video is poor and...

Thanks for the positive feed back men and I'll make sure to post more as it progresses. Ken both pictures are mine just took the second one with a borrowed camera to see if I liked it enough to buy one. Pat

update Good morning ,guys here is a long overdue update on my sawmill. Errol, I first built all the rafter bents and the attach them to the frame by spanning the main beam on either side, I used about twenty little alligator clips with the ends bent out.

Here is a link to a site with a layout that will take several more decades to finisih and scenic I think. I would not want his bills for what this is going to cost. There is alot of great info there as well, so please check it out.Pat http://users.rcn.com/weyand/pocadiv/pocahontasa.htm

As Tim the tool man Taylor AARGH AARGH MORE POWER, MORE POWER. OK you have the biggest toy. :-) Where is Green Cove I'm not familiar with it? My Brother in law is trying to get into the fishing business around the Fort Pierce area.

Great job gang, I really enjoyed the Mag. I would like to ad one comment about the tichy sample pack,I bought one about a year and half ago and did not get the fire escape in my box and would say that there were alot more modern windows then old style like the ones I needed but still thought it...

I primed mine with a spray can and then brush painted over that with black pollyscale and have had no trouble with them. One thing I would recomend is to insert something straight and solid inside one of the middle straws slightly shorter so you dont see it to help keep them straight and true . Pat

Val with an offer like that I'll get busy on that sketch real soon and get back to you,thanks alot Pat. Don a modeler on another site once told me about something called onion paper which was the stuff between carbon paper in the "old days". I must be getting old as I knew exactly what he...

Val I really appreciate the effort,but I think I have my computer dunce cap on again. I tell you what, I'll just make a sketch and send it to you and then you can do it for me????? How's that for subtle? I will have to try to read the instruction manual one of these days and then I'll really be...

Thanks guys now I can sleep better too. I knew it had to be something simply. Pat

A big 4 and a 1/2 minutes of coverage and not worth all the time I spent watching the other segments before it. Pat

Gary I like what you have done with this project and am wondering if you took a tire casting if it would be the right size with a little filing might be just right??? Pat

I second this request and sentiment. Pat :confused:

I'm sure there's a simple answer for this but I don't see it. What keeps the metal wheels from shorting the track transformer???

Rebel could you post a few links for those Co.'s??? I really would like to concentrate on the ones that are already built. Thanks Pat

David better you than me, I think I'll let you build this all by your self. There are some things I'll just not do myself and this is one of them. Good luck with your project. Pat
