Of course you can just do what I do and crazy glue the rails to the ties as well. That's all I did for my main line. I did however use four spikes per tie when I made the bridge though ;) :D

Hi guys. f you are in the Vancouver area of BC on November 8th and 9th pop on over to the train show. The link to details are on my websites main page. http://fsm1000.googlepages.com

If you can actually talk your sweety into letting you use part of the living room for a permanent layout..... :D

Hi Josh, long time no see. The V rails start BEFORE the bridge starts. Even though I didn't t put them in my own bridges they are still there [in my imagination LOL]. Anyhow their purpose was to stop a total derailment and the train from falling of of the bridge hopefully and so they started...

Looks good to me. I have a mini video on ballasting on my website if you wanna go look at it. Not that I think you need it, just thta maybe I might give a hint or two that might help you better. That's what we do here. Hints and ideas to help each other out :D Good job though. :)

In a way I do too but only if it actually is of use to people though. I don't want numbers just for the sake of numbers. Thanks for the encouragement :)

I have added a bunch of checklists that some of you may find helpful when planning your layouts. You can find the link by scrolling down to todays date on my main page [where Ipost all updates by the way]. The link is in my signature. :) I hope that someone finds them helpful.

:mrgreen: Just wanted to thank all f you guys for the fact that I recently reached 20,000 age views in the model railroading section of my websites. Thanks guys. I could never have done it without you. :)

Hey Scott. With the price of gas here many customers are asking the store owners to mail parts to them. It is cheaper then the gas used to get to the store and the price of parking etc. Anyhow, I think you will find mail is cheaper for many things. Also for turf, why not just go out to a local...

Ron, yes I am aware of the control + thing. However I have found that 90% of the people that go to my website for instance are just ordinary people that have no idea what they are doing on computers. They barely know how to log on etc. Now the people that go to your website may very well be savy...

Hi Ron Just my opinion for what it is worth. I would make the font a couple points to 4 points larger. I have found that many of us online reading these forums prefer the larger font as it makes reading easier. One thing many of the guys state about my sight is the ease with which it is to read...

I don't "do" Christmas and haven't for decades now. But I do enjoy trains of most any kind. Even if we have to lie to our kids about a fat man etc. Then of course get mad at our kids later for lying LOLOL :D The malls sometimes have nice layouts though.

Looking good there. I am always amazed [and inspired, but don't tell no one:P] by what you "little" guys can do ;) LOL. Keep up the good work there. :)

Thanks for bringing this back up. It was {IS} one of my favorite posts. :)

Thank you Greg for the upbeat compliment, I think I needed it after this week. Internet down and all sorts of fun [yuck] lol. Anyhow thanks:D

:(:(:(:(:(:( You will be missed Steve.

Looking good as always.:)

Wilson, well praise God for your new job. The way G look at it is had He not made you leave the other job you would not have had this one. :) Praise God indeed. :)

Well some good news and bad news. The bad news is that my internet was down for a few days. The good news is that they gave me free internet for a month. :) That's why I have not answered for a while. Sumpter. I just took pieces from a few that I have seen over the years. There is no prototype...

Don I don't put in bigger pics because others have complained about the time it takes to load all the pics. There are almost 15 MB's of pics and dial up people asked me to make the smaller thumbnails. and so I did. I mean how hard is it to click a pic? Oh well. As for the time you are right lol...
