sorry I missed this trainwiz20, looks like you are coming along just fine. I like what you have done so far. I'm coming on 33 and am at the pace you are going. Two small children will do that to ya. But my wife just reminds me that it is a hobby never to be finished really, so just keep up...

great shots cabdriver! we are going to be down there in SA for the train show on saturday, if all works out. where is the best place to railfan from, like that train yard in these pictures? hopefully somewhere on the north side where we will be. thanks.

hate is such a harsh word. I would say not in favor of. I am not complaining! I got bashed for mentioning the color thing. hehehehe.... thanks everyone for all the work ya'll do to keep us up and running.

sorry about bringing up the color issue... sounds like I opened pandora's box or something.... I will ban myself for the remainder of this current minute.

http://toweroftheamericas.com/ .... and when I said eat, eat, eat, I meant there are alot of good resturants down on the river walk, the tower has a resturant also. Take in the Alamo before you do an IMAX movie, it's worth it. But you are able to do both in one afternoon.

of course San Antonio has the river walk downtown, remember the alamo, also a great zoo. Sea world too, but you probably have been to those already. SA's downtown area is real family friendly and is why we run down there. park in the river center mall parking garage and hang out downtown all...

but the color of the forum changed... is that normal? can I change it back or am I stuck with this color scheme? thanks, john

the silos are thick cardboard rollers that I cut down to size. the thickness made it easy to glue the caps on top which are cut out from cereal box. I did cover the side of the silos with brown paper bag to cover seam on them. thanks guys

both tracks we are looking at are main lines that I know of, the cross track after the switch goes through the industry off to the left of the image and would lead to the second picture I posted of the plant.
