Wayne...That's what I was thinking, and snipping off the T is no problem, but even so, the throwbar and accompanying ties look too short and just kind of "weak", if you know what I mean.......but I guess that is the flip side of the inexpensive coin.:winker: BTW I used them on my previous layout...

I don't want to start another debate on the quality of Atlas vs Peco vs Walthers vs M.E. turnouts, but............ Could someone explain to me why Atlas Custom line turnouts have a T shape on the end of the throwbar....I don't see the reason for it :confused:. I mean, it's ugly and doesnt look...

Mikey....sorry it took so long for me to get over here:oops: Thank you for all you do.................and say:winker::thumb: Keep up the great work!

Thank you my friend! You have been a huge inspiration on both me and my modeling.......they just don't make 'em any better!:thumb::thumb::thumb::thumb::thumb::winker: The layout is next on the agenda :winker:

Bernhard...Thank you so much! Coming from a great craftsman such as yourself, your kind words are MUCH appreciated! :thumb::thumb::thumb::thumb::thumb: Tetters...Thank you very very much!:thumb::thumb::winker:

Hey Josh.... That is an impressive array of trucks you got there!:thumb: I was admiring the subtle and realistic weathering that you have given them and thinking back to when you first started to weather. I remember a certain person felt that everybody was being too "nice" to you and that you...

Mike...Thank you!...I think we have all probably seen this Mine on too many layouts :winker:, so I think at least a few new details help to make it look a little different. Good luck on your kit....announce1post pics! Ralph...I am starting to get a little more comfortable doing weathering...

Finished........sort of :mrgreen: I just need to paint the cement footings and paint the edge of the open window. The weather was nice for pictures so let's just pretend that I did those two things.......and call this project Finished!!!:winker::thumb: All of the weathering was done by...

Deano.....Nice haul!:winker: You know, I kinda like the greyhound colors as well :winker: Beautiful and different

Deano...We are on the same page :thumb:. I was hoping that it would look like they painted the glass, and I also have a sheet of wood cut to cover up a window (I'll cut more if I don't like how the painted windows turn out). Gus....You've have enough magic in your own...

Great work as usual Simon!:thumb::thumb::thumb: both inside and out! I especially like all the little mini scenes all around the diorama. Keep up the excellent work

I can't help with the Rio Grande theme....but I can add a tunnel shot:

Any one that knows me.......knows that I have a bad habit of changing my mind:rolleyes:........... I didn't have enough corrugated panels to cover all the roofs, so I bit the bullet and went to the LHS and bought a styrene corrugated sheet that closely matched those on the model. Also, after...

Great job Glen!:thumb::thumb::thumb: That was a lot of work but the end result is really sweet! In fact, that whole area looks pretty SWEET!!!

Pete...too bad the customer didn't bring back any pics with the buildings in place, it would have been interesting to see if his work did justice to the tremendous job you guys did. Excellent Modeling!.....as usual :thumb::thumb::thumb::thumb::thumb:

Lynn...That looks like a lot to me!:winker: Great job on the pier and, of course, all of your structures! :thumb::thumb::thumb: That is going to be a tremendous scene when it is all complete. Hopefully with the colder weather coming, we can be treated to more of your outstanding work. Take...

Lynn... announce1OK, enough's enough! I know you got something done..... Where is it?! Tell me.....was it something we said? Seriously, hope all is well with you :winker:

David You have been such a great help to me, and so many others here. :thumb: Thank you for helping to make The Gauge what it is!:thumb::thumb::thumb::thumb::thumb:

Deano....Great job as usual on the weathering :thumb::thumb::thumb::thumb: I agree with Wayne....The patched paint really is a nice touch!:winker: On another note....I was showing off the two box cars that you weathered for me....and they both got rave reviews! :thumb: I told them that you...

Russ....I think I was attacking the very worst of the overly glued parts of the Mine. As I moved on to other areas, it was easier. That has not helped the fact that the original glue job was sloppy and now the plastic is very visibly marred in some very obvious places. Here are a few pics...
