Egad Beeble! Where did you finally get the furniture?

My worst model railroading disaster was -howdya like this?- my first layout. It was awfully flawed. The trackplan came from a book called Building A Model Railroad With Personality, (those who read MR in the 80's might remember a series of articles about how to build the Jerome & Southwester)...

That's a really nice effect, particularly the one with the blue LED

Dang! most of the pictures are gone! It ain't very often you see a Z scale layout this "up close".

Egad! what a trip!

You made a really nifty job with that diorama! (now, how would some finely weathered rolling stock look in there?)

you mean one like this? http://www.walthers.com/exec/productinfo/933-3070

Very good! never thought a LED could illuminate that much.

Need inspiration for mountain scenery? (could anyone correct this glitch for me? thank you)

I got a question, what's the location of picture in the front page?

The trick to avoid that green roadkill look is to pass an old toothbrush through the "field" to make the fibers stand up.

For that purpose I use fake fur. I bought a reasonable amount, dyed it in several shades of green and simply glued the mat to the layout. To hide the edges I use some loose strands and glued them straight into the ground cover. It has worked pretty fine to me.

I saw the link earlier and that is one truly great looking layout. The trackwork is masterful, the grassy scenery looks so... lush, and the town scenes really make it look like it was 1947 or thereabouts. Great job.

Is that really an Athearn engine? It somehow looks like it was made in the 60's (or maybe it's just some VERY heavy weathering)

The 3761 is fine. I'll use the drawings to attempt giving the engines a "family look" for my railroad. I'll post the results later.

Could someone please post drawings of the following equipment: AT&SF 4-8-4 NYC 4-6-4 USRA 2-8-2 (similar to the one made by BLI) thank you.

Well, I know it ain't Sunday, nor is it 6-20-04, but now that I can... (a scene on my previous layout)

Looks nice Tyson! By the way, how did you make the trees?

It's time to paint black and white stripes on that figure with a shovel Mwahahaha!!

I was actually thinking OO. I have some 1939 Model Railroaders and many of the plans come in the "3 popular gauges"- HO, OO and O. Lionel produced a Hudson, a few freight cars and a caboose in that scale for 3 or 2 rail operation. They weren't produced after the war and they occasionally pop up...
