Well all the roadbed and track is down! All thats left is adding the ground throws and finishing some of the roadbed under the switches. Here is a shot toward the sawmill area. This is a shot with the 4th sub branch to Headquarters on the left. The spur to the right is going to be a oil...

11/11/79 here. Guess I can say I was born in the 70'ssign1

Man, I hope you have alot of space because those are some HUGE buildings!

Are all the people below the bridge there to catch the ones that fall off as it crosses?sign1

Couldn't disagree with you more. I went to a local train show recently and was amazed at the number of younger people there, not only checking it out but buying and selling as well. Sure not as many as the older crowd but when it comes to a hobby like this you've really got to stop and ask...

Model railroading isn't exactly the most active hobby in the world.sign1

Our PBS stopped running Tracks Ahead:cry: I am only 28 but with a full time job and 2 kids under 3 it is very hard to find time for the hobby. Doesn't mean Im not dreaming and planning for future grandeur but for now a small shelf layout will have to suffice.

Another quick update. Got the layout mostly cleaned off and started on the rest of the roadbed/trackwork. The riser is where its going to start climbing for the future logging branch or Headquarters line on the prototype. Last picture shows 2 of the 3 overhead lights installed. Amazing how...

Looking good:thumb: Sure is alot of foam your using there:mrgreen:

Does anyone know if the Front Range shell will fit over a Proto 2000 frame and motor? BTW: Just won a brand new, never opened Proto 2000 GP9 decorated for Reading on eBay for $35!! Looks like I'll be stripping it and painting my first engine!

Well I've almost given up on someone releasing a model of a BN GP9 in HO. I have been trying to find a undec. Proto 2000 engine with no luck ( for less then $125!). So I've narrowed it down to 2 choices. 1. Buy a GP9 off eBay decorated for a less common and not in demand roadname and...

Well my layout so far is in my sig. I'll try and get some pictures on here in the next few days.

Wow, 77 views and only 1 post? Doesn't anyone have stuff to show off?

Why do you say that? I've never had any problem with Atlas switches.

Last but not least, my logging cars. Most are still in the building stage. Once complete here will be the roster and what they are built from: 6 BN Walthers 45' Logging Flats 3 UP Walthers 45' Logging Flats 2 BN logging flats from 40' Athearn cars 2 UP logging flats from 50' Athearn cars 6 NP...

Here are some of the assembled Woodchip cars. Complete roster is: 2 BN Walthers 1 BN LBF 1 UP E&C 3 NP E&C 2 GN Walthers 1 GN E&C 1 WP Walthers 1 Southern E&C 1 Santa Fe E&C Think I'm missing some :confused:

Alright, here's a few to get started. This is a example of the log bunk cars I am going to be building based off the prototype's on the Camas Prairie in North Idaho. The bunks are just set on there so you can see what it will look like, then just paint and small details left:thumb: Here are...

Thought since this section is kinda dead lately we should start a thread where you can post all of your equipment specific to this forum. Whether it be rolling stock, a unique or scratchbuilt industry, or a custom locomotive. Basically anything you don't see in model photo's every day of the...

I wish my layout was done enough for photos like this :(

Thanks, its just hard with the cold weather we've had and the fact we have to babies under 3yrs that can't go out with me. I haven't found what lights to use yet. Want to use some kind of small, natural light fluorescent. Any suggestions? I've seen some that people are using that are $50+...
