    Great Paul! Congratulations! I am surprised though that Kalmbach hasn't put you in MR yet. You should be known to them via your layout photos in the Walther's catalog. Maybe we can petition Terry Thompson through all the members here at the gauge who have learned from and enjoyed your layouts...

    Ooops!...glue in the turnout!!!

    I accidentally squeezed too hard on a tube of CA and it shot out into the throw bar of an Atlas code 100 turnout:( :o ..... I immediately put some de-bonder into the problem area and that loosened it up somewhat, but not nearly enough. The turnout is now residing in a sink full of soapy water...

    Look what I found

    I'm still laughing at my wife's horrified expression when she saw this pic!:D :D She has a huge phobia about arachnids and goes by the philosophy that the only good spider is a dead one! I try to explain to her all the good things about them but she won't hear any of it! Matt--Hershey, Pa.

    Cool bridge and buildings in NY state.

    The EXACT same thing went thru my head after viewing these pics! But in my mind instead of NJ or NY, I was thinking of Lycoming County, Pa. You know it's good photography when the same images can conjure up the same emotions in different people. Excellent Blake!:) Matt--Hershey, Pa.

    bumpers?

    Gary: I've taken those Atlas bumpers you spoke of and cut them off from the rails with a razor saw and then trimmed all the un-prototypical plastic around them. That leaves just the bumper section. Then with paint and weathering they don't look too bad! Then they can be glued to the ends of your...
