    New Years' resolutions:

    Too funny. As I looked at the first picture, my first thought was the same as CJTK's - "Is that a 65 mustang in the window?". The good news - I too have a 1965 Mustang (coupe). It is silver blue, with a blue interior. It has a 289 with 4bbl carb, and a 3 speed manual transmission that I...

    This hobby is trying to kill me...

    Man, that story reminds me of the time my wife had left some magazines on the floor in our bedroom, and then she threw clothes on top of them. I was walking past, and stepped on her clothes, and WHOOSH!!! My feet just shot out from under me. On the way down, my elbow smashed into the night...

    Gil Finn Passed Away.......

    Sad to hear of "Gil Finn's" passing. He offered me help as I was getting my feet wet (still getting my feet wet) in this hobby. I am sure he will be missed by many here on The Gauge.

    Advice on what structure models to avoid

    Val, thanks for the great reply. One of my winter goals is to try my hand at assembling my first building. I was thinking about doing a Walthers Cornerstone (Glacier Gravel, Black Gold Asphalt or similar). It's nice to know that someone that has built a lot of structures thinks that...

    What's Your Winter Goals?

    I haven't been on The Gauge in a couple months. As I suspected, the summer months are too enticing for me to get out and do things with the kids, and model railroading slid gracefully to the back of my brain. And as the temperature drops outside, the thoughts of a tasty winter project slide...

    stroke recovery

    Les, I wish you the best for a fully functional recovery. From what I know about strokes, the first few months of rehab are the most important, where you will get the most of your physical abilities back. After the first few months, progress seems to stall out. SO DO YOUR THERAPY WITH AS...

    New Layout

    I really haven't done anything train related in about 3 months as well. Being new to this hobbie, I have come to realize that, at least in my case, in the summer I tend to want to be outside doing things with my family. It seems like that trend prevails for a lot of Gaugers - that MRRing is...

    When wood carving becomes (became?) scale modelling

    Wow. That is just AMAZING work! I can't even fathom having the patience, fortitude and skill to spend 9+ months or more carving a steam engine. :eek:

    Durango vacation - picture intensive

    For about 5 years my father-in-law lived just outside of Durango, and my wife and I (& the kids when they came) would go visit him every year. Words cannot express how wonderful that area of the country is to me. The mountains, rivers, rail....all just spectacular. I was bummed a bit when he...

    Car Hits House.

    How much do you think it's going to cost to repair the foundation? That crack looks pretty serious. Will the $4,500 cover it?

    Whats in a Name

    I posted in the other name thread, but what the hey! Go Big1 is a play on my last name, which is Goebig. When I got my first car at 16, I ordered vanity plates with "GOEBIG1". So when joining internet sites, I drop the E and add a space to create some anonymity, and mystery about what "Go...
