Here's a Liebherr derrick I picked up for a buck at the train show this weekend... There for awhile last year you could get 1:87 vans at Wally World 'til they pushed them out. The Dodges looked great as they were but the Fords were left with dorky looking rims. I swapped one set with a...

Wow, what a beast...come on, videos, more smoke, sound....:thumb: A redneck's last words..."Hey guys, watch this...." :mrgreen:

Thank you for the kind words, Kent. My Athearn Hustler has been re-geared with an A-Line/Ernst motor and gear setup. I permanently coupled two frames together and added JayBee wheelsets for better power pick up. I have two bodies for the second loco, which has also had its motor removed...

All great suggestions for you to follow:thumb: Once in Altoona, could you stop by the Boyer Candy factory and pick me up a box of Mallo Cups?:rofl:

Great pictures folks.:thumb: One of my favorite shots of my Big Boy taken outdoors on my new photo diorama...

Thank you for the kind words. It really is just cobbled bits and pieces from my scrap box. The blade is hand curled styrene reinforced with a bit of T channel. I added a scraper blade of the same styrene about 1/16" wide. The hitch is a porch post from an N scale house. The lift is half a...

You mean like this?:mrgreen: Just letting the glue dry out before I paint it. It's just bits and pieces from my scrap box. Got a little carried away and put clearance staffs on the outside in brass wire. My LPBs'll feel like their cars won't get dinged up by some yahoo this winter...

Nice work, Catt.:thumb: My bashes lately have centered around those forlorn looking Life-Like pickup trucks...just waiting to add a few more details, mirrors, interiors, paint and such.

I am truly sorry for your loss.

Great pictures and thread idea:thumb: My kitbashed HOn30 0-6-0 and its scratchbuilt bobber, used to deliver goods from the Delmarva Peninsula to Philly and Baltimore in my cross dimensional rift...

Railroad museum with special excursion runs working in cooperation with a small branchline road. No other way to justify the large number of near immaculate steam:thumb::thumb:

Yes, it is an Inglenook. It can also be done in a 5-4-3 arrangement that raises the stakes 10-fold time wise. Thank you for the kind words. I needed a new photo diorama but I wanted something that will show my big steam well. That is why I chose the Inglenook as it can be taken to shows...

Mine is what is called a 4-3-2. You start out with 4 cars and a loco with 3 cars on one track and 2 on another, leaving the third empty. You then draw 4 cars, each noting a particular car in the sidings. The object is to drop the 4 cars you have, while putting together a train---in the order...

:eek:You think he's lookin' fer a new job?

I think it looks great and you're well on your way to your desired effect.:thumb: My one point to make would be not to put too much confidence in those doors unless they're of real good quality. I suggest supporting them at least every 24" as well as from front to back because they will sag...

Thanks, guys. It is an AHM/Rivarossi from about 1972, number 3 in my quest for all 4 articulateds that they put out. Still on the hunt for their 4-6-6-4 Challenger from about the same time:thumb: Nice work on that park Jeff...:thumb:

Nice idea, Ralph.:thumb: My latest swap meet purchase...even when there's only two tables, it's still worth a look...not often one finds Mallets going for $30...

My biggest problem is that both Dul Cote and Krylon have a nasty habit of picking and choosing when they want to dry flat. Sometimes I get an annoying sheen that won't matte over, no matter how many coats I use...
