Very nice work - 4.5 brakewheels (out of five).

Hey guys. I'm just wondering what everyone else uses for building doors for office-type buildings (such as the ones attached). Nobody really makes anything, and it's one of my biggest quandaries when I'm scratchbuilding.....

Saw one of these pulling a train through Nanaimo when I was there at Xmas playing disc golf. The track goes right by if you're on or near the eighth hole. Pretty kewl.

Congrats, that looks great !!! I have one of their animated neon signs already, the "OPEN" one. They're very kewl, I might have to consider one of these too.

WOW. I never even noticed that, Owen. Now **THAT** is impressive (and very prototypical lol).

Hey rc, I posted a couple somewhere on the forum, probably in the photo section.

Well, if I was the owner I'd certainly wanna give the original guy a healthy cut; but it may not be too easy to track him down either.

Any thoughts on what to use for HO scale police tape ???

Not a problem to all of the above - just send me a message with your email address in it. And I'm already a member of that group, it's one of the best resources I know on the net. I've already downloaded the industry database for for every region and compiled it into a giant Excel...

The prize goes to McFortner - Collins Bus Corporation it is.

Hey guys, my wife dragged me out to an "antique" market with another couple this afternoon, and I was dreading the whole thing. And sure enough, for the first half of this gargantuan complex, it was pretty boring. The only thing that kept me going was that my wife and I are collecting martini...

When my wife dragged me to a fabric store some time ago, I couldn't resist buying some John Deere fabric. I finally got around to using most of it up this weekend, creating 7 loads for 60' flat cars. While obviously John Deere wouldn't use this as a tarp in real life (way too expensive to paint...

Just pick an industry or two that you want in your final layout, and build a diorama around them. If you go to any home store, they'll usually cut plywood for you in whatever dimensions you want (up to a certain number of cuts) for free. So grab a 4 x 4 of 1/2" or 3/4" plywood, and pick a...

Speaking of household items, I was wondering - I've got a tire store I'd like to stock the lot with tires of different sorts. But I don't really want to buy any. Does anyone have any other good ideas for what I can use for tires that would be quite inexpensive ???

Newest scratchbuilt industry I'm building for my Hutchinson KS diorama. Dimensions will be 9.75" x 4.75" x 3.5". Two hints: (1) Industry is based on one that actually exists in Hutchinson KS for over 35 years (although the building is totally freelance, I made it to fit the space and have...

BIG STEEL

Where I could find it, I included both the UN Identification Number, and the NFPA/HMIS placard information. I also included the Transportation Emergency Card info where I could find it (this was the hardest to find, though). I'm not sure what other hazmat info would be available besides those...

Ugh, don't remind me. My wife and I had a dreaded financial meeting last night. Let's just say I had to make some promises for the next while.

very kewl dick. :thumb:

Old toothbrushes always end up on my desk for weathering; and I recently scammed three empty vitamin bottles from the recycling station; I figure if I clean them, turn them upside down and bury them, then paint them, they'll make pretty good small silos for a farm.
