There's a couple here in the CN yard that they use all the time. If you need any more pics, let me know and I can probably snap a couple for you during my lunch.

BTW, update - I see BCR locos quite frequently now through the CN mainline here in Edmonton. Usually once every couple of days (my commute home takes me along Walker Yard, and the parking lot for my office is right on the mainline).

Huh. I consider myself to have a "medium" layout - 13.5 x 18.5. Takes up about 2/3 of half the basement (the other 1/3 is a "crew lounge" - actually a television watching area, but I've even got my wife calling it the crew lounge now).

Please do, Jesper. I am very curious myself.

I've personally found the fastest and best way for me is to print the sign out on label paper; adhere the label to some thin styrene; cut around the sign; then glue/cement that to the building. If I want to weather it a bit, drybrushing grey down it works good (although most signs are not all...

Well we started painting the office on the weekend, so didn't get as much done as I'd like (which is all for the good anyways, as a lot of the office stuff is currently in the crew lounge). I did find some time to continue work on the Bull Gap / Rim Rock Canyons of New Mexico, however. Still...

wow you even have the same closet issue i have. i didn't notice that before.

Huh, not much difference to the size of my train area (19'7" x 13'7" with a corner closet cut-out). I'm planning an around the walls with a center peninsula (which will also house a helix to get from the lower to upper levels).

As suggested, I use warm water and dishwashing detergent for the resin stuff I do myself. It works great, I don't think it's necessary to get the expensive (and toxic) stuff.

Ugh, sorry I missed that too cpr_boy. You must be hanging up around here too if you're on the Yellowhead quite a bit (by up I mean northside by the CN mainline of course).

TOT, but Lemscate, that's a really kewl logo under your userid; what's it for ???

Lessee, spent most of the weekend in Alamogordo NM (on the layout, that is) - first stop on the journey towards Tucumcari NM for Southern Pacific trains (lower level). Got the base scenery down, highway, weathered the rails, did some ballasting, even got some grass down. AND then I...

WOW. Those look great.

Hhhmmmm . . . haven't seen anything trundle through Edmonton yet . . . . . (and I'm right on the mainline at work, I do see a lot of their trains).

Very kewl, Parker (and good to see another Edmontonian on board). My wife and I just moved to the northside, and the deal was that I got a significant part of the basement (turns out to be 13.5 x 19.5) for my layout. Course, now that the area is prepped with lighting and carpet, I need my...

What about something like a pallet manufacturer/refurbisher. It would make a nice variation, I think. All you'd need is a storey and a half building, and then put a bunch of lumber and pallets around it. A couple of trucks, and you could also use trains to bring in and ship out pallets.

You know, if the boxcar did get lost, I have a Gauge tankcar that could flit about the world, at least for a while, until I get more of my layout done (i.e., like a year or so). I'll find some pics tonite and post 'em.

-51C is a bit of a stretch. -10C to -20C would probably be closer to "normal" for January.

No exclusive N-gauge stores here in Edmonton. No particular places to visit either (although one of the old train stations has been converted into a bar that's pretty fun). The CN mainline cuts through the city just above Yellowhead Trail, always tons of trains to see if you're interested in that.

Hey Hopeful, can you post the link to Bruce's where you found it ??? I'm kind of curiuos myself.
