Awesome! i need to finish my projects....

Cool industrial stuff! i wish i had space to build! still working out the kinks in a possible layout addition.

The flow of trains is exactly the goal. Where i plan to model has lots of industries and things to switch, which is my favorite part of the hobby because you're actually doing something. At the same time, this area also features lots of big trains deaded up by six axle power that just pass...

Well, i've been sketching away at a new track plan idea. I'm feeling better about leaning back towards frieght for now rather than the NEC. I figured out a way to fit a reasonable automobile transfer facility onto the addition. I worked it out so that there are two stubs capable of holding 4...

Wow, thats pretty intense! I wish i had enough space on my layout to park my locomotives around like that! I also wish i had more six axle units. I keep buying them, (E60MA.E60C-2, SD45-2, C32-8, and an SD60I being the latest) but i always end up with more 4 axle power. I've got 4 GP15-1s...

Well, i just picked up a dvd on the part of the NEC south of where i want to model, going from metropark to trenton. I think i might try and model the 4 tracks there just so that atleast i have somewhere to run my amtrak trains. I also picked up one of those CTT track planning templates, and...

I only have so much space though, so i'm going to stick to just diesel operations. Besides, conrail is a bit late for electric operations. They only lasted into 1981, and i like to model a little more recently. (though Early conrail is still the rainbow railroad, lol) Probably. Its likely...

Yeah, well the hard part is that an airplane require so much glue and precise fitting. It usually ends up ruining the paint job. With a drab A-10, you can get away with it. With a B47 with that shiny Natural Aluminum finish, forget it. I think next time i should build the plane (save the...

Its different in that The addition will hopefully get everything in that my current layout doesn't have. While the outside oval can fit just about anything, the inner oval of track on my 4x8 is 18" radius. thats fine for most of the GPs and U-Bs i have. However, some of my larger Conrail...

Nothing like an Airplane kit to remind you why you went to trains in the first place. Once again, i'm sitting here trying to plan an addition. I think i'm going to totally drop the idea of a Northeast Corridor for now. that layout would require space i don't have for the trackwork alone to...

Well i'd be farther along on mY C32-8 if not for the paint problems. For a change of pace, i'm going to be building an RB-47H. Yes, that isn't a train, its a plane. Its the Boeing Stratojet. Gotta mix things up every once in the while! it doesn't really match my time period at all, but its...

I got the rest of my GP15-1 bodies and things ready, i just need the rest of the cannon cabs, noses, and ends, and i should be able to start painting. I also have all the C32-8 parts, so i can start finishing that. Here are some pictures of the new Silverliner IIs i have. FOr the whole set...

Yeah, you're gonna need storage space soon.

thats a lot of stuff.

yep, thats basically the gist of it. hey, its cheaper that way anyway, lol!
