Very impressive. I won't even try to build a trestle bent without a jig and here you are!

Great shots so far guys. I'm figuring out my new (to me) camera so everything seems to have a slight orangsh tint but finally I can do some close-ups:

Engineer Kyle, That's a really good pic. Didi you take it outdoors?

No the pile driver has nothing to do with the sawmill, except that it's on my logging spur. It is used for driving , of all things, piles for trestles and other structures.

I jst finished my scratchbuilt pile driver that was sitting in a box unfinished for about 3 years: It's entirely scratchbuilt with no comercial castings except a handful of grandt Line NBW castings. The dokey engine is a mix of styrene shapes and clock gears. The boiler is a cut down...

Before I built the booth I would have to paint outside (wouldn't even think of painting inside) and that would mean waiting till spring.

No problem, the first pictures of my new (to me) digital camera: The back shows the exhaust system, consisting of a flat fan (I don't know where I got it) located behind a furnace filter. The hose is bought a the local Rona store for about 2.50. The board in the window is cut to fit in the...

I was out on a walk today and was thinking the same thing as I passed a tree full of dead leaves, why not use ground up real leaves

I went over to my In-laws today and my Father-in-law and I built an airbrush booth for my workshop. I found an old fan witha sealed motor for the exhaust which will be routed through the window of my workshop using a dryer vent hose and a special adapter board that will fit in the window tracks...

I've painted a couple diesels in Model master Medium green but I think they lack the olive drab tone: But on the other hand the color can be different from one picture to another: I've almost given up on what is the correct color from the paint manufacturers. (You should see the...

Thanks I did and the # 11 went on diesel engines and passenger cars. The #12 went on Boxcar doors used in paper service. So I'll be sticking with the scalecoat paint.

The engine rebuild is looking really good. The short hood looks like a challenging project. I'm working on an SD-7/9 project myself buit starting with a couple basket case Proto 2000 units. I'm not shortening the hood but adding a couple detail parts and repainting it in a fantasy Canadian...

That's a really nice tripod, mine is considerably cheaper looking. As an after Christmas prsent to myself I bought a used digital camera off ebay and a roundhouse Caboose with working marker lights. The camera should be here by the end of the week so I can finally take pictures of the layout...

Great shots everyone! I love the prototype shots. Makes me want to break out my old albums in get them into the scanner!

Happy new year everyone. As far as resolutions go I didn't make any I did make a list of projects that I wanted to finish (posted on the HO forum) a few weeks ago and that will have to do for now.

You mean like this:

I'm looking to pick up some new paint for my CN loco (diesel) Could anyone tell me the difference between CN Green #11 and CN Green#12 I've bought # 11 before but found it a little dark. Floquil makes CN#12 and I'm wondering if its lighter of even used on the early CN diesels.

Most of my vehicles have been collected over the past 10-15 years. I have several of the Malibu cars sold at wal mart as well as Roco (converted military trucks) some of the older Walthers resin cars, Alloy forms, praline, and others. The ones that weren't picked up at Wal-mart were bought from...

I didn't really get anything train related this Christmas, however I did get a nice comfy Dr scoll's back massager for my office chair that I'm using as I speak. My In-laws gave me some money that I'll be using towards the layout, probably a couple decals sets and detail parts. I did get a...

Okay everyone. I'm going to finish up my scratchbuilt piledriver project (it's been sitting in a box for the past 3 years) and then finish up the sawmill project. I have 2 weeks off this Christmas so I don't really have any excuses Starting with the interior machinery placement. I have to cut...
