Hi Wayne and all, Thanks for the kind words. Those letters are about 16 feet tall in HO scale. Click on the photo to see how I used them in context on top of this structure. They are actually made of some ceramics. They are used to educate young, tactile learners the alphabet. I found...

Just sharing... I totally botched the paint job the first time around, so these images show the repaint job.

Not really, I'm up and running. I could not recover the software myself, but I've got this new PC up and running at 90% of what I had. It was a project. You don't realize (at least, I didn't realize,) how much software is unique to a particular PC) I had to find downloads for printer drivers...

Well Gentlemen, I’ve got the bad drive in the good computer and made it a slave. Good news and bad news; I’ve got a D:\ prompt… however; I get a CYCLIC REDUNDANCY CHECK when I try to access it. I did a CHKDSK/F D: command at the DOS prompt and got about 32 unreadable file records segments, 2...

An update... I picked up two CPU's from IT that have a Pentium 550? and Windows XP. I'm sure I can get the bad hard drive in one of them as a slave and see if I can recover anything. I was also informed of a freeware program called "The Ultimate Bootable CD" I downloaded it, and that looks...

I really need a nickel’s worth of free advice. My hard drive on my PC will not boot up. I’m pretty sure the system files are bad, and there is a lot of work on there that is very valuable and I need to save it. I’m pretty sure the operating system is Windows XP. I don’t have the original...

Maybe Because Of The Changes We Should Give Aweeks Grace Period?

Hi All, I got this AA at a swap meet for 5 bucks. It is an Athearn, but to my supprise it had seperately applied ladders and grab irons. It looks to be of a newer era. Anyway, I weathered it and was wondering if it looked "right"? Thanks, Kyle

Yes, Loren... You don't have to look to close to see the "hood" is a section of a wooden boxcar and the spout is part drinking straw, part Cornerstone piping kit and part roof detail air vent, also from Cornerstone. Thanks for the interest!

At least I think it started out life as a Tyco; Now, where did I see the prototype for this? It makes me wish I had a little 4-6-0 I could park in the scene.

Hi Team, Ever print out street signs and such for your layout? These are MS Word with a font of 5.5 mounted on a toothpick sized piece of strip wood. After freshening up the Oxford Sand and Gravel area, I thought I'd take a few pics... Click to enlarge Just sharing.

well well well, Zealot, eh? This reply is no more than a test to check out the new software. While I'm at it, here is a pic of a hopper I just did, and it's proto. CHEERS!

Contest, Contest?

Just wondering... What if you lined the interior walls with aluminum foil?

Her name is ... "Tim"

Oh yes, I use mirror images.... The only purpose for using it in this case was to contrast the line of the train under the orange sky. It's the same train on the same line, so I flipped it when compiling it. I should have flipped the first one, nobody would have noticed that. Also, I wish once...

From Trash to Cash Thoughts on free lanced modules Kyle Engelmann 2007 The purpose of this project is to create a rust-belt structure out of two buildings that were train show cast-offs. When doing this type of kit bashing, your best prototype is your imagination. I began...

Here's a two minute video of model trains passing each other. METAMORA SUNRISE Just Sharing.....

I'll go first... The contest I would enter would be "Pets on the Layout" The photo must be unretouched and show a dramatic or humorous animal on the model. Of course, the inconsistancy of scale is part of the fun.

Morning! If you have three minutes, this is better than a smoking a pipe, IMHO. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svhQnkt_-Lg Just sharing.
