you realize the layout space you have allocated to yourself in your new basement is larger than the feature layout in Model Railroader.

Agreed that is a good idea. I do have a draft timetable, and rules, but not like what you speak. I think I will, though, as it does seem like an excellent idea.

It looks like I'll be in sunny California for a couple of weeks in August for training on our new budget software my company is buying. San Jose to be precise (Santa Clara to be even more precise). I'm hoping to catch a ball game while I'm down there, but obviously need to ask: any train...

I've seen some of the newest ones recently here in Edmonton. They often travel in duos or trios, but they're always mixed in with a bunch of other freight cars, very frequently a mish-mash of other boxcars.

Here's a photo of my new layout space, acquired Friday (along with the rest of the house). Fluorescents gonna go in the ceiling, I have to work around that stupid closet in the corner. 19'7" x 13'7".

OKAY GUYS HERE IT IS !!!! The new link to the custom rolling stock is . . . . http://www.dayfornightmodelworks.com/thegauge/ Please, if you find pics of other custom rolling stock decorated for The Gauge, please let me know . . . . . . . . I couldn't find any others in my files. ((...

Sorry gents, I redid my website and subdirectories, and I guess the Gauge car info got, uuummmm, lost, in the shuffle. I'll do my best to add all of them again.

LOL actually, I have a big rock I picked up in Kelowna that I want to make a mold of and cast it in hydrocal. Your rock just reminded me of it.

gheesh, and here i thought this was gonna be about my fave railroad.

WOW. Excellent stuff, guys. I haven't done anything that intricate myself, but I do a lot of my own logo work, decals, etc.

Well, my wife and I signed the papers yesterday making us official houseowners to be. Just a couple small conditions, and then we move in 02-July. The train room is part of the giant rumpus room downstairs, complete with a wood-fired stove, and enough room for a nice cozy lounge and sizeable...

So my wife and I are in the process of buying a house, and it looks like I'll have a pretty good-sized layout room. The ceiling is a drop type, so it would be pretty easy to install lighting as I see fit. I'm looking for recommendations for types of lights, as well as placement - i.e...

The other one I found useful is the toposerver, which includes topographical information for regions you may be modeling - rivers, highways, elevations, and yep, even railroads themselves.

It was a kewl article, even my wife found some of it interesting cause her dad lives on Vancouver Island (and we usually head there once a year or so).

Yep, my subscription should start with this issue. Looking forward to it.

Well, guys, thanks to your comments I took the plunge, and bought myself a table saw today at lunch. Not top of the line or anything, but a brand name that I trust (which is important to me, in anything with scary teeth that spins at some obscene speed). Thanks again.

Hey guys, my brother beat me to the punch on a digital camera, so I get the old family one for eternity. I was sort of looking forward to a new camera, but the one I have now does the trick. Sssooooo . . . I'm considering either a table saw or a compound miter saw, and thought I'd get your...

I can't remember who mentioned this and what forum, but here's an excellent website . . . . http://www.thistothat.com/ I consulted it for my lumber loads, for paper to wood, and it recommended 3M Super 77. It was ***RIGHT*** on the money; I couldn't have asked for a better product selection.

Well, unless something better comes along, I'm gonna go with OSC Argrouch Corp. (( the green color fits in pretty nicely that way too doesn't it ))
