    Water front railroading

    The project sounds interesting, I'll be looking foreward to you posting the photos. I allways liked waterfront scenes, but they take up a lot of realestate. I just had to have one myself, so I'm shoe horning one into the layout, but I think I'll have a time making it believable. Cheers Willis

    Which flextrack?

    I used the Atlas nickle silver flextrack and turnouts, I suppose because it was readily available just about everywhere. I havn't tried any of the others mainly because of the price and availability. I quite content with the Atlas product so I haven't looked elsewhere. All I can do is confirm...

    Newbie On Board For the Long Haul

    Well there was one dump here the other one missed us, it wasn't all that bad, Northern NB and NFLD really got hammered. I know what you mean though, our relatives in Ont were calling to find out how we were, funny thing, the ground was mostly bare here. Halilifax and Sydney in the older sections...

    Not sure but probably what I've been doing all week, grab the mud bucket, some gauze, some P of P some of the molds and do some rockwork and cover the foam with irregularities. Cheers Willis

    Does the left column annoy you?

    Well I voted for " Like it" although I might be leaning to I don't care. I'm using 800 X 600 resolution and with the horizontal scroll bar to the right most of it is gone. ( Don't care) Now being a newbie and not knowing the site as well as the regulars, it looks like a handy tool for...

    Newbie On Board For the Long Haul

    LOL, Robin, not really, I'm afraid your area got pounded a lot worse than here. Two snow storms and rarely below 0 deg. F isn't so bad. My wife was from Welland and she prefers living here. Cheers Willis

    What do you listen to when modeling/running trains?

    Just the ringing in my ears tinitus I believe they call it. Don't get me wrong, I used to play the guitar, steel & spanish, keyboards which I no longer enjoy, and have lots of sound equipment the wife listens to. I have a radio in the train room but rarely turn it on because music is no longer a...

    Newbie On Board For the Long Haul

    Thanks folks, for the warm welcome and complements. The trestle is a Heljan kit horribly mutilated or modified to fit. There has been a lot of work done since the last photos and I'll update the site when enough scenery is completed to warrent the change. Yes I like them also so one of my next...

I'm an old gaffer, been retired since 1992 but didn't start on the dream layout until around 98. Didn't take too long before...
