Kudos to the children who have the imagination to see the oridinary and make something extraordinary. Creative children grow up to be creative adults (which you most certainly are, as well as the others on this forum) who make our world an interesting place to be. And kudos to the parents who...

Very Cool Hi Alex Welcome to the Gauge. Love what you've done for being in this hobby for such a short period of time. Looking forward to seeing more of your progress. I'll bet you were one of those kids who built things with popsicle sticks when you were younger! (Just kidding:D )...

The holidays are around the corner - maybe if you're good, Santa will bring you one:D :D

The one great thing about forums is that we can all have our own opinions and can agree to disagree, and it's OK. It takes courage for one to voice an opinion whether people agree with that point of view or not. :) In situations like this, when we are reading what someone else has written...

And you play hockey too???? I'm a hockey loving fanatic! BTW, hockey season is around the corner.... Go Dallas Stars!!

Man - oh- man - you get the best of both worlds! Playing with trains and brewing your own beer!! Does it get any better than that? (Maybe drinking the beer that you've brewed!?)

Well, with any luck I should be starting on this project this week-end, if time permits. But I might try to make some trees using the furnace filter method this week. I've got plenty of bamboo skewers at home.

Thanks

Muchas Gracias I'll check them out. I'm going to be doing a diorama to go on a shelf over the beer well at the restaurant and want to put some neat pine trees on it. You rock!

Very nice work. You will be amazed how many people will come in just to see that layout. I might have missed this from an earlier post, but who will be maintaining this and the other layouts as far as track cleaning and other issues? On your mountains, did you paint directly over the...

I know that there is probably a thread somewhere but I would like to learn to make great pine trees for N scale from scratch. Would any of you fine people happen to have some pictures of doing this? Pictures always seem to help me when I'm trying to figure something out. Or can you tell me...

Well I guess we're all in good company:D

It's a creative way to take something that could be considered an eye-sore, at least to the people of that community, and tie it in with their everyday life and culture. While it may not be to my taste, I am always interested in other cultures. And there may be a valid point in how people view...

All I can say it "Ditto" to everything everyone else has said. You are truly a fine artisan and craftsman. I have so enjoyed watching this come together. Thanks for sharing your pictures.

Nice work:cool:

Welcome to the Gauge. You will find a great group of people here. And yes, I can understand where you are coming from.

Hey Mikey - you and I are kindred spirits

It's an Irish drum. ( and the Scots use it too!) If you saw Braveheart, the scene where William and Hamish had the rock throwing contest, one of the on-lookers was beating a bodhran in the background. Traditionally, it's goat skin stretched on a round wooden frame about a foot in diameter.

Rather than edit my post from earlier, I would add these thoughts. I re-read my post and felt I did not express myself well concerning people who are into Renaissance Festivals. I should add that people who dress in costume for Ren fairs take alot of flack from people who give them grief over...

Everyone here has brought out some very good points. You know I have to admit that when I first met Glen and he told me he was into model railroading as a hobby, I will 'fess up' to everyone here that I thought "Expensive toys for big boys". Prior to that I don't think I even realized that...
