    New structures for the AD&N

    Thanks. Pat, those are quilting pins. Their purpose is to show which way the turnout is/should be lined. Throw the points to the green and that is the primary route, the direction the turnout should be normally thrown to. And that is where it should be left when you are through. Push it...

    New structures for the AD&N

    Thanks Y'all. Tillsbury, I plan on getting to some weathering in the future. This is Phase I of the first layout that I have ever built. I've learned alot. Maybe in the future when I start building another phase I might use code 55. I really wasn't sure my skills were up to it when I...

    New structures for the AD&N

    Thanks, Y'all. Here is the prototype engine shed and shop. When the AD&N was merged into the AL&M they took the sign off of the shop. Here are my N scale versions in place on the layout.

    Ok - I admit it...............

    I voted - I tweak & turn & paint (or weather) a bit - but that's all I'll work on something if it needs it. I've kitbashed a few cars and plan on doing some locomotives soon. I have painted both cars and locomotives for my home road. I do run stuff straight out of the box, as...

    New structures for the AD&N

    I kitbashed this engine shed from two Rix kits. It's nothing fancy, but neither is the prototype. The engine shed will go to the left of the shop. That is what the other spur is for. Prototype shed Prototype Office

    New structures for the AD&N

    I was engaged in a lengthy process of reblocking, rewiring, and relaying all of the industrial spurs on my N scale AD&N. It was not my favorite. I finally got that completed and now have started back doing some modeling. This was a Model Power Tank Filling Station Kit that I am using for...

    A4 Skyhawk

    Hi Rob, have you got any pictures of pre-builded (is that word correct?) models of your project? It would be nice to see how good it can be built and if everything fits well. Regards, TAD

    What's with all graffiti?

    I think it is fine if you want to model graffiti and I think you did a good job of it. I don't like it in real life. While some folks who do it are quite artistic, I feel that it is wrong to deface someone else's property. I model late 70's - early 80's and it wasn't as much of a problem...
