And Toronto Ghost Signs which I think I got from a thread here.

Sometimes, evidently, the wife gets custody of the layout: N Scale Train Village Layout with Tracks, Airport MORE! - eBay (item 220224469399 end time Apr-22-08 08:53:38 PDT)

MRC - ACCESSORIES Series - POCKET DCC PROGRAMMER, Item: 0001520, TRAIN CONTROLS/ACCESSORIES is my best guess at what it must be, but I can't find any reference to it on the web other than at stores with no photo or description. The lettering and what not make it fairly clear that it's not...

Here are 4 shots of the mystery box.

Nice. I was beginning to think with all the tortoise/wabbits/hares that you were made of gold :) I like the look of the fascia in the last two shots. Good to see the progress.

I just got a lightly used Prodigy Express on eBay, and included in the box was another part that I don't see described in the manuals, and I haven't been able to identify it on the web. I think it may be the Pocket DCC Programmer. IT's a little nearly 3x3x1" box with two curved arrows with big...

For me all the "noise" is part of the message. I really like seeing the way people are into it. It makes it feel like your watching as it happens. I felt the same way when catching up with nolatron's layout after joining last month.

That's pretty sweet. Love your site too, saw it the other day with your post about the signs for the shop. It's not hard to believe the LBP are getting their new duds there.

I thought that was the copper strip mine.

The legendary thread probably deserves another bump, and I'm not sorry. I wonder if the title should now be called "Don't cry too hard, it was fun!" It's sad to see that the foam-quake took down the mountains and that amazing water, and the bridge that wouldn't curve, but it's good to remember...

The straights off to the left are just the idea for tiny interchange or where I can put new stock on easily, or store cars. The long leftmost curve to the bottom is an arrival / departure track. Main can pass it to the left and assembled trains can be picked up on either end heading back to...

Ok, first, thanks again all. The B & M layout is pretty cool, but I think with my mediocre skills and imagination, my interpretation would probably still feel pretty much like running in circles. It did however give me some ideas to get unblocked, including Triplex's point about the wrapping...

Nice work on the locos, and the photos are really showing the true colors now. Thanks for sharing these.

The other day when I was in Moscow I saw it as the second engine pulling some grain hoppers, so it looks like regular freight duty for it.

Russ, It was supposed to be a little caboose dump, but I guess it could be turned into a runaround by going past the curve. The matching one on the bottom was just to make it possible to swap the two modules and still have the tiny side track. I worked it and another siding and changed the...

Thanks for all the replies so far. All these are good points about the space, and were already things I had reservations about. Not enough reservations to make me try to fight for space in the 12x12 upstairs bedroom that's my wife's office/scrapbooking area (I know better than that). The...

Givens and Druthers: P & PDV RR N Scale, Std Gauge Late 50s to Early 70s era Most likely freelance shortline, rural setting Space: 78"x108" basement room I'm probably most interested in building and modeling, but dioramas aren't enough. I'd like to actually feel like I'm making some...

As late as 1980 they made the same call on at least two European (or you're-a-peein' in this case) roads. I don't remember which, but I do remember being surprised to see the ties flying by when I went to take a leak. I'm 90% certain one was Italian on the way from Milan to Rome, but I'm not...

Yeah, that's a cool site. I stumbled on it a week or two ago (I think from a link here, but maybe a web search). http://www.visi.com/~spookshow/layouts.html is also pretty cool for getting vicarious experience of a number of builds.

Gregg, I trust you on the lease, the only link to WI was a web post, that I likely misread.
