Don, Wow. When I clicked on the link to this thread the last post was the first that showed up and I thought it was a night shot of the real thing. Beuatiful job.:thumb: :thumb: :thumb:

A double slip switch. Probably more common that a double-x-over

It's amazing how just a little color and a few weeds can transform a layout from a barren wasteland to something that comes alive. The water looks great.:thumb: I agree with Miles, don't do too much rushing water. I've gotta stop checking up on your progress posts because every time I see...

Something like Jethro Bodine's "batchelor pad", right?:D

My other hobby is designing and building a motorized bicycle. I bought a kit off of ebay about a year ago and mounted it on a cruiser bike, but I wasn't totally happy with a few things, like no suspension, an engine I may not be able to get parts for and I just don't like how I have to stand...

you just happened to be in the wrong place, at the wrong time. Not many around anymore. I may be wrong, but most went out of vogue about the same time that turntables did.

The last I heard is that global warming is usually followed immediately by an ice age( wow, you mean this has happened before?), so N.O. just might end up being a big ice skating rink. :D But I don't think everyone will be moving back... http://www.nymag.com/news/intelligencer/17161/:curse...

Thank you for the thank you, but I'm a captive lab tech. I only do my sister's work, at the present time. She keeps me quite busy and it works out well for her because she can have me add a contact or adjust staining without sending it back to an outside lab and having to wait another 2...

Hi Tom, IF it weren't for MRRing, I probably wouldn't have entered the field. I used to work in the precision sheetmetal working industry when I was approached by a dentist to change careers. The dentist knows me pretty well (she's my sister) and knew of my modeling and metalworking...

If you want more info on the production set ups, check out jewelry making. Same thing, different product. Hey LITom, I still use the process for making teeth(Lab Tech), I just end up fusing porcelain to it. I don't think anyone makes plain gold teeth anymore and if they keep perfecting the...

It seems like there's a new hobby born every minute and most of those are RTR. Well, after the real pioneers worked out the bugs.:D If you look at the variety of hobbies available in 1930 to the ones in 1950, then compare them to those in the 70's, then the 80's, 90's and so on you will see...

It doesn't look like it's close enough to the tracks.

Is that the station, or just a really cool old house near the tracks?

That is definitely a work of art. Quite impressive, 4 tracks. Kudos to the club members who built it.:thumb:

It's not a matter of gender, it's a matter of whether they're interested. My grandaughter,... uh daughter, loves trains also. In fact, she is my "extra" driving inspiration because she is always asking me about running my trains. However, she could have very well been totally uninterested, but...

Ah yes, you are right.

Victor and Cripple Creek Co and the area between the two towns was covered with headframes and tailings piles. A few of the larger mining companies had their own mills right below the headframe(s). The Independence in Victor comes to mind and the Gold Coin, which had a brick building around...

I really haven't seen much variation in stamp mills. the cross-sections seemed to be the same (depending on how far the mill took the process) just the width or length got longer with each battery of 10 stamps. Instead of trying to find a unique mill, how about a unique mining complex. Doesn't...

Oh yeah, the Amherst show, in Agawam. It takes one full day just to walk through and see everything and another day to return to the points of interest, and there are a bunch. Anything and everything that has to do with MRRing is there. The modules (all scales)are great and some are just plain...
