    A real challenge to me.

    Ok, just a thought here. One time I cleaned something and noticed it was dirty in only hours later. Silly as it may sound this is what happened. The cleaner left a residue and it became ever so slightly tacky. It attracted all the dust in the room is seems. Anyhow, after you clean try rinsing...

    Track Ballast

    Don't laugh too hard...It's my first attempt!

    Don't worry about 'the funk' Steve. We all get them. Even John Allen got them. The longest latest a few months [after about 16 years or so of modeling]. Anyhow, do something else and then one bang, it will hit you again. Just come back every now and then and let us know you are still alive ok...

    the bridge is done

    Thanks guys for the comments. :) Very encouraging thank you. 0-4-0, a curved is no harder then a straight one if the curve is not too sharp. You make a life sized pattern of the curve and make sure you have the overhang accounted for as well. Then you make the straight bridge only wider to...
