Rivarossi skeketon log car Hi Steve, This may not help you as you're in a different scale, but have you seen the 38' Rivarossi skeleton log car? I have 6 of them now....man are they NICE! The air brake detail is second to none. Only drawback is they cost $47 CDN a pair at my...

Twice the fun Guess I'm a little spoiled....I have two desktops. One on my G4 Powerbook, the other on the big 'ol second monitor. Stan

BC Forest Museum Steve, The BC Forest Museum is on Vancouver Island in Duncan. The last time I was there, I think I may have been about 14 or 15 (many moons ago), I recall having a great time, and thinking I really need to return. Well, that hasn't happened yet, but maybe this summer...

Rockislandmike, Stan Smyl was called "Steamer" by the Canucks and the commentators. Looks like I forgot to mention my name is also Stan...oops....:rolleyes: Stan

So that's what an LPB is!?!?! ROFL!!!!! Guffaw, snort, chortle, he he he......oh the tears.....:D :D :D :D :D :D I've said it before....Jon, yer killin' me!:D Stan

Steamer! When I was growing up, my friends used to call me "Stanley Steamer", not after the car, but after Stan Smyl's nickname of the Vancouver Canucks fame in the late '70s and '80s. It's a bit of a stretch...Steamer to Steam Donkey, but mix in my love of logging, and there you have it...

Logger Head I've always had a thing for logging, even had a logging area on my layout from my high school days. But I've only just become....what's the word?.......obsessed........with logging in the past couple of years. I can't get enough! And now there's the "Logging Line"...I'm in heaven!:D

Thanks for the tip, Woodie. With a bit more Photoshop practice, there's no telling what terrifying digital creations I might put together! :D Stan

Shamus, Bloody beautiful picture! One of the most impressive things about your layout and photos is there are never any shadows on your backdrop. I have a really hard time determining where your layout ends and backdrop begins. :cool: The weather here in Vancouver is usually overcast...

Dang virus' infecting everything these days.......he should've been on a Mac!:D

I've just made a post including a photo in the faces behind the names thread. I'm kinda new at this, what size picture files do you gaugers post at? My photo looks HUGE! I know Dave Hagen just put a restriction of 1024 x 768 at 102K, and I believe mine is well under that.......but it looks so...

NICE PICS, JON!!!!!! I'm gonna need more space for my eight story hi-rise teepee! Might have to make the trees taller than the burner too.....back to the drawing board!:D Stan

Burner Book Hi Sam, I just found out about this about an hour ago (what timing, eh?). A paperback book titled "Woodburners" written by Daniel Mihalyo is published by Princeton, apparently has everything you ever wanted to know about wigwams, teepees, slash burners, bee hive burners...

Paul Bunyan's Tall Tales As told by Paul Bunyan: My lumber camp on the Onion River was so large that the men had to have a weeks supply of food when walking from one side of the camp to the other. The smokestack above the kitchen was so tall that it was hinged in the middle to allow the...

Many Thanks!!! Thanks, everybody, for your input, you've certainly given me a lot to chew on. We're working on putting an addition onto our house, and I may be able to find a place to stick on railroad room! :D Failing that, the container is an option, or better yet, travel trailer or mobile...

Hi hi-f, Welcome to the Gauge! You'll find lots of good ideas from this group, and some odd ones (like building a layout in a can) :D I do actually have some experience with these container things, the company I work for manufactures a highly modified version of a container...
