    Am I Crazy?

    I suppose i can describe my space as a 16 (north/south) by 13 (east/west) foot area. they extend about a foot out on two sides, going across a corner. One side of the corner is accounted for (which is why i say 16 foot length, as the "north/south" boundaries are clear). the "west" wall...

It always grows, i think they learned how to reproduce. the layout is self aware! dang LocoNet.... (yay movie...

    Am I Crazy?

    While i know the volume of trains is large, to be honest, i never see that many trains on the NEC when i pass it. (i've even sat down for a while within viewing distance and didn't even see a train for a long time). I think that just running whatever will be fine. I don't need to shoove to...

    Am I Crazy?

    Yeah, but by my nature i'm an extreme planner. even though my idea here is so vague that no one could really give me any valuable insight, i'm sure if there is any conceptual problem, someone might catch it.... ... just like squidbait. I'm curious what you have in mind by small and...

    History Channel - another Train Series!!!

    I don't know, I think the host kinda was a bit over the top sometimes. I have a funny feeling he irratated the crews he was following, but otherwise it was alright. I think the part that made me chuckle the most is that they were following the Norfolk Southern almost the entire show, but all...

    Am I Crazy?

    Many of you know that i've been trying to find a new HO scale railroad to build, as my 4x8 is just not working for me anymore. I've been constantly stuck between build a Freight themed conrail layout based on the "Chemical Coastline", or building the Northeast Corridor and its commuter...

    G.E.C's layout pictures

    well, it looks like the decal sheet i was waiting for to be made is almost out, but apparently they didn't figure out the white NJ transit logo either. FRUSTRATION! anyways, i've got to find something to do on my layout. I have many open projects, but i just can't seem to get working on any...

    Trucklover's Shelf Layout Thread

    So you've been working on this thing for years, and now you're just going to tear it down? Are you sure you can't store your modules somewhere else? I think you're going to want a layout you can actually operate instead of being limited only to times where you can set you modules up.

    G.E.C's layout pictures

    I actually have used photos and things to get the faded stripe already. AS it turns out, programs like MS train simulator have a lot of people who build virtual models. For most of it, its just a matter of finding someone who did a good job, and then litterally cutting and pasting the pieced...

    To ALL HO SCALE Steel Mill Modeler's Out There!!!!

    I know my club will be, they've been wanting to build a steel complex since they got the extra space to build in. THey do have the blast furnace built, as well as some of the other structures, but its far from being built. The problem is there is a staging yard right under the layout there. we...

    Building and Kitbashing a Walthers Cornerstone Refinery

    Yeah, but its a bit clunky. I'm sure its fine, but i think wire would do a better job. I got mine when they re ran them this time last year. It was probably close to the full price. before then, i hadn't found the kit, and i never really looked on Ebay for it. Yeah, i'm a patient man. I...

    Building and Kitbashing a Walthers Cornerstone Refinery

    Only one looked like it was really leaning! Yeah, i was figuring i am going to have to make my own safety cages to. I actually have some spare from my Waltheres Plastic Pellet transfer, but i don't know if that will bee enough, or if it will look right, so i'll just make that out of wire...

    Building and Kitbashing a Walthers Cornerstone Refinery

    You better straighten out those ladders! the prototype is mounted straight up! Oh, i do all my own work, lol! Would i really being a hobbyist if i let other people do it all for me? Technically, now that i have my airbrush working, i could start building it. I just wish i had those brass...

    Modesto & Empire Traction

    looks like you dodged that bullet. Still, trolley overhead is so much easier to build then this heavy electric stuff i do. It might be worth a shot if you ever decide to model it when it was still up. It would make in interesting detail to have "clipped" catenary poled trackside that are...
