Growing up in Michigan I would never have seen a scorpion. It wasn't until I moved to Texas that I had my first encounter. The first house that my ex-husband and I rented had a beige carpet and I couldn't figure out why our Siamese cat was going crazy trying to get at something under a chair...

Well, I guess both. It seems that people start in one scale and move to another or wish they could model in a certain scale. It's not about the best scale of one over another, just what people like. As I said in an earlier post, I model in N scale, but would love to try HO because of the...

Well Jim - maybe on your next adventure you can try autumn colors. :D But even if spring or summer are modeled, you can always find varying shades of green as you well know. I always try to break it up with some golds or some dead stuff, especially on the underbrush. I'm getting ready...

Hey Dan - I see that you are a Red Green fan too. Been watching it for years.

Possibly beer kegs or some other industrial type of thingy:)

Very nice work. Especially the marquee.

Know what you mean, Margaritas are never the same after using the kitchen blender:D :eek:

Great pictures and great modeling. It's always nice to have members of the family to share your hobby with.

Pete Not sure about the club that you've mentioned, but I know that there are some good clubs over that way. I'm a little too far from Fort Worth. I really would like to be part of a club, but I just wish I had better hours. What are the chances that I could find a club that meets from...

Thanks for sharing your techniques on tree making. I like how you come up with the different colors for fall. I tried using the WS fall colors at first and didn't like them either. But never thought of what you are doing. I have used the blender to chop up dried moss to make great ground...

Well, if the one you sent the e-mail to is like one of them down here in the Dallas area, they proabably never check their incoming e-mails. Or think someone else is going to do it so nobody does it. And then have trouble trying to figure out why they aren't growing! Go figure. Hope you get...

I moved to Texas in 1982, but I can remember "back in the day" when I was a young girl, the biggest thrill of the summer was the Port Huron to Mackinaw Sailboat Race. We always had a carnival in town during that time period and a parade through downtown. Traffic through town would come to a...

Thanks for sending the pictures I really appreciate seeing pictures of other's work. I, too, an into the autumn theme. I love the mid-summer Ozark scenery, though, as well as Ralph's countryside. I could almost imagine cows walking down that path from what looks like a barn. I am very...

I know what you mean, I'm from Michigan too. I was born in Port Huron.

I guess to answer my own thread, I have worked primarily in N-scale, and that from a scenery standpoint. Although I will say that Glen taught me how to figure the radius and draw it on the first layout that we worked on together. Who knows, maybe someday I'll learn how to lay track and ballast...

Those of us who model feel very passionate about the scale of model railroad that we choose to model. What made you choose the scale that you are in now? And if you could do it all over again, would you choose a different scale or stay with what you are in?

There are so many great modelers on this forum. All of us have some type of scenery that we just love to model. Some like urban scenes and some (like me) love to model the countryside. What is it that you feel that you are particularly good at? Is it logging or coal mines? Do you love...

All that matters is what works for you. Did you make your own trees? If so, what did you use?

Looks great. I love how you have weathered the buildings.

The events of September 11th will be one of those moments in time when those of us who are old enough to know will remember where they were when they heard the news. The same with the assasination of John F. Kennedy ( yes, I'm old enough to remember exactly where I was when he died) and for our...
