Looks pretty straight forward, thanks :mrgreen: Best of luck on your new endeavors!

I've been seriously considering one of those 2-6-6-2's for quite a while now, i'd like the un-tender'd tank version because of length restriction on my layout. Gotta keep up a little better speed-wise with the diesel guys at my local club heh. I'll keep in mind the spring trimming (have seen...

Seconded on the green chain, it's all quite good looking! :thumb:

Looks great, cant wait to see more :thumb:

I remember seeing that in the background of your pics, WOW! A rowing trireme! Freakin brilliant, mind if i share this with some folks? AWESOME!

The rule of thumb on S curves is to leave in a straight section of track between as long as the longest car you plan to run over it. See this diagram. A good investment would be a pull-behind track cleaning car, getting up on a stool to clean all that might be a pain sign1 You're doing...

I cant say i've ever seen anyone do an interior on a grain elevator before! Very cool :thumb:

That first picture really blends in with the background, it's supposed to be there! lol My only suggestion is to clean the windows, even if they're black plastic underneath it will differentiate them from the body proper of the loco and give some indication there's empty space there. Dont clean...

Do you have a pic of the tractor's smokebox front? That'd be where some info would be. If it has a big globe and eagle it's a Case.

I like em :thumb: Shacks and camp buildings are on my to-do list, that might take me a while though heh.

ONLY loco :eek: Most shortlines i've seen have at least 2-3 locos, in case one breaks down. Interesting line. :thumb:

That's incredibly unique! The quick disconnect hydraulic hoses indicate it's probably pulled by a pretty big hirail (small semi), or possibly a trackmobile, something with a good sized hydraulic pump. Excellent find, where is it? :thumb:

The appearance of a locomotive and its function are closely related to me. A 4-8-4 pulling a log train would look very stupid and odd to me, as would a shay pulling a passenger train (unless it were some old broken down combines). Diesels can haul most anything, and probably have, which is...

I hope Doctor G sees this! If only i could attend :(

Nothing wrong with getting carried away with steam! :mrgreen::mrgreen: Thanks!

I think this thread is now about steam tractors :confused: :thumb: I wish there were more donkeys in operation. Speaking of steam-powered (or just tractor powered) sawmills, there's one near me here in Montana. There's some equipment for a donkey (the cylinders...

Awww :( I'm definitely glad we got to see it before it went byebye! Say, how big a piece of property do you have? A 5" gauge ride-on would be fun sign1 Best of wishes with your next endeavors!

Agreed! Dont let Top Gear get ahold of your goose, it'd be flying off a building or god knows what else ;)

That red/black primer combo looks spectacular on your boiler and winches :thumb: I'm guessing your donkeys will be wood fired as well? Plenty of wood out there, as you mentioned.
