Thank you all for you very kind and encouraging comments. I really appreciate it. :wave: Tetters, yes, it is going on the right side of my shelf layout. No, not really. Jess, Gary, I hope this post will show you that it is nothing but a rumor. :mrgreen: Today I tried to find a way to model the...

Kevin, Richard, Steve, Gus, thank you for your kind words :wave:. Gus, I had a 40" x 4" x .040" sheet of basswood that I cut into 12" x .120" strips. Then I cut the strips into pieces of 3". Must have been nearly 300 pieces. As I learned a few days ago, the type of cardboard I used is called...

Josh, thank you. The structure will be painted and weathered. It is still far from being finished.

Oh man, I wanted to build the National Orange Company packing house in Riverside http://scph002.home.netcom.com/riverside_national1.jpg but somehow I got it wrong :oops: and ended up building this http://scph002.home.netcom.com/riverside_national2.jpg :mrgreen:. Seriously, I planned to build...

Bernhard, fantastic job on that billboard :thumb:.

Tetters, you are right, it sounds too easy – can’t work like that :cry:! Looking forward to see how your ballasting really worked out :mrgreen::mrgreen::p.

As far as I can tell from the pics, it looks very good. I am with Loren that I like the way the ties are not all the same color. And your ties still look like wood and not like plastic :thumb:. Can’t say anything about the color itself, because I don’t know what you want to achieve, but it looks...

Tetters, I know the Bronx Terminal and what this guy does is absolutely unbelievable. But I am very impressed by your progress too. Looking forward to seeing these #6s mounted in your layout.

You are really wetting my mouth. Constructions like this makes hand laying so appealing to me – can’t do that with ready made track. Oh well, I have to think about it .......

Tetters, thank you for that generous offer :wave:, but you should be careful, I might accept it.... I don’t know exactly which turnouts I will need, as I am still in the early stages of planning a second shelf above my existing layout. I looked around for turnouts and I think I will take Micro...

Great start again this week. Scott, love that bungalow – is it scratch built? Trainnut, that is really a good one. Ralph, great scene :thumb:. DeckRoid, good start to scenery. Steve, seeing this photo, I hope you did a lot of pictures before you dismantled the layout :wave:. mooreway, nice shed...

Seeing these jigs and your wooden ties, I am tempted to try hand laying track on my next layout. Unfortunately it will be so small that I only need a few turnouts, so that it won’t justify the cost of the jigs :cry: – all the turnouts I need will be cheaper than one of those jigs. So I’ll have...
