The plywood method that was mentioned by BikerDad , Andrew and Dave would be very cost effective IMO . I haven't tried it myself because I was satisfied with my other methods . Ripping a 4x8 sheet of 1/2" or 3/4" plywood wood require a good table saw and a couple of people to keep everything...

Look at the bright side , Doc . If you ever decide to build a 4 tiered G scale layout , you already have the benchwork in place . :D :D :thumb: Neil

We have Home 'Despot' as Val calls it but no Lowes ( that I know of ) in Canada . Where I got my good wood was Rona ( used to be Building Box ) but I believe they are only situated in Canada , eh ? I use pine and discard the slightly curved pieces at the store ...there were plenty of straights...

I suffered from ' green ' wood early on and found that straight , dried , wood , while more expensive , was worth the extra cost because of virtually no wasteage and no headaches .I'm talking 1x4's , 1x2's and 2x2's which are all that are needed . If assembled properly , L-girder style , they...

My old High School colours ...double blue and white . I wonder if there's a connection ? :D :rolleyes: Neil

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to everyone and their families at The Gauge . Neil

A thorny issue that one could discuss for months and we would be no further ahead . I've worked on both sides .....the last 15 non-union . I prefer it that way but it is simply a personal preference . Probably 90% of my customers are union employees so I have to be cognizant of their various...

Thanks for the pics folks . In hindsight I dearly wish I had taken similar shots of the Windsor / Detroit waterfront when it was bursting with activity ....train ferries and such . All gone ! We now have a Casino ! Progress . Neil

Mikey , ya gotta help me out with that search . There had to be SOME famous President ....Vice- President ...um, Presidential loser .....someone CLOSE to the President like Monica Lewinski ....well maybe not her , she didn't play with trains , um , er .......maybe I'll be changing the subject ...

Ray M.'s remark about George Bush has led me to wonder ....has there ever been a U.S. President who was an active mrrer ? Or admitted as such ? Just curious . Heck , I'd have voted for him just for that ! Of course , being Canadian I can't vote over there anyhow ....... Neil

A Happy & Safe THANKSGIVING to all my friends in the United States . That Thanksgiving card has one of my favourite Norman Rockwell's on it . NEIL

I must admit I don't even remember it ...was living in beautiful downtown Kitchener at the time with some serious health issues and obviously unaware of what was happening in Toronto area at the same time . Now I know thanks to David . NEIL

Since getting back into this great hobby , virtually all of the folks I've met in person and on line are pretty laid-back types . Not full of themselves . I like it that way . No , I don't ( would NEVER ) live with my Mother ....rather a great wife and 2 Pugs . I think as we get older we tend to...

I visited with Ken McCrorry in September as part of a convention layout tour . Ken's layout is magnificent to say the least . Huge . Gigantic . It took a consist of 4 locos and about 75 cars one half hour to complete one lap of the mainline . The layout and ' trainroom / gymnasium/auditorium /...

Thanks David . I was going to guess Spadina , but it was only a guess as I haven't been in that area since the Jay's heyday in 92-93 ....back when they used to actually have an audience watching the . Now they can't draw flies ! NEIL

I'm just trying to get my 'bearings' on the roundhouse / CN Tower shot . Is that the Gardiner on the left ? What would the overpass street at the top be ? BTW , thanks for the great pics . NEIL

Ralph , you can ' disolve ' the super glue quickly and easily with a special tool , called a HAMMER ! I'm laughing with you ....don't know if I would have done things any different ( probably not ) NEIL

OK, Larry , I'll take a flinger at this one : You have Pillsbury , Standard American , Valley Produce , Honey Creek , AJ Cuttinghams and TR Petermans . All have got some sort of situation with manfactured goods or products . They would have waste products , semi finished and finished goods ...
