I can certainly empathize with anyone here that has or is having on going health issues. I turn 38 this November and it seems like the last 2-3 years my body is starting to just come apart at the seems. Knock on wood the one thing I still have going for me is really good BP...120/70 on my last...

Gary, have you thought to take in a sample of your local "dirt" and see if Home Depot or some paint store can match it? Was thinking if you take an index card, coat it with some clear drying glue and them really coat it with dirt it should give you a decent enough sample. Don't know for...

:thumb:Great job on putting that bridge in place. Made the thing look 10x's better than it did already.:thumb:

Maybe it was always this way, but it seems to me that manufacturers are really screwing up in the last several years when it comes to releasing a new product/model and it does not matter what they are coming out with. I can be a new power unit for a MRR or a new gizmo for your car or computer...

I seen this posted on several other forums I am a member at as well as on the news. It really is sickening, and things like this, where there are kids involved, also tend to make me a bit angry. Being a full time stay at home Dad has made me extra sensitive to issues involving kids.

Here is what I am starting with. On the old layout I had a mountain behind the lake where you see the blue on the wall. I had the trains run through the mountain on one side and come back out on the other. There used to be a shelf behind that wooden wall that allowed for the track to be...

Pretty much the same deal here. General location/theme I am planning is going to be where the plains and the mountains come together. Basically I am looking at a 4x10 (forgot about a 2 foot extension I had on the table). Tell me what you think if you can envision this. (Will try to post a...

From the original HO layout it was a lake.....if I had kept it and went N like I had originally planned it would have been an inland sea at the least. :mrgreen::mrgreen:

Managed to get the table cleaned up this evening. Took a bit to actually rip out all of the old plaster work and then get the table clean enough to repaint, but that is behind me now so the fun part of building can start. Out of everything the only thing from the old layout that seemed...

Hey gang. Been spending quite a bit of time looking through the various forums and I just got to say I love all the pics that have been posted. I think it is great so many are sharing what they are and have done, and I must say WOW!!!!! Some of those shots made me look three times trying to...

I will be sure to update on how things are going and who knows. I might even sneak in a photo or two along the way.

If you read my howdo in the Caboose then you know I am, or should say was, planning to build a N scale layout. Well those plans pretty much went out the window, or at least into a dusty part of the old brain, for the time being. Apparently my Mother, whom I told about my RR plans, mentioned to...

sign1sign1sign1 If my uncle, who has been a big model RR buff since before I was born, had his way about it I would be going O all the way. One day I may end up setting up an O layout if I ever get the room because I already know that I am inheriting all of his trains upon his death. He has...
