Wow...talk about a loaded question! (just kidding :D ) There are several people who have several (strong) opinions about this, but here's mine. I think the NMRA has done a lot of good for the hobby, but also think that they are not currently fullfilling their entire potential. I am not...

I turned over about $70 to Hobby Lobby today for a cartfull of Woodland Scenics stuff, so I guess I better get busy on some better looking scenery in the new year. Thanks again for the heads up on the sale.

I'm using a Kodak DX4900 digital, 4.0 megapixels. I have a Pentax K1000 35mm setup, but haven't used it in years now. The DX4900 is a great camera IMO. All of the pics on my website were taken with it.

Thanks for the heads up! Looked up the ad in my local paper and sure enough, 1/2 off. Will be heading by there tomorrow to load up on stuff!:D

He, he, he.....I did that with my hedge trimmer a few years ago. Man you should have seen the sparks fly and me dance! :eek:

Anyone here ever used www.wholesaletrains.com ? I came across them tonight while surfing around and they seem to have some really low prices on things. For instance, I noticed their Atlas #6 Custom Line turnouts are like $6.89 - the cheapest I've ever seen these online has been about $7.50 at...

1. MicroMark "Chopper" for making nice, exact cuts 2. Testors Razor Tool set with some dozen or so different kinds of blades (got to figure out what those are used for). 3. Railroad Tycoon 3 computer software game Merry Christmas!

I'm speechless.....as a fellow inmate of the cubicle cell block, I'm green with envy! :thumb: :wave:

Muy bueno pescado taco. O.k., there's the extent of my Spanish....I think it means something like "very great fish taco" or something like that. Anyway, i've been on this forum since early this year, and like the guppyman I read more than I post, but enjoy the folks here greatly. I also...

That first pic is really beautiful (my 8-year-old daughter REALLY like it). All the others are great as well. I always enjoy the snow train pics.

Here's a couple of pics of the warehouse I recently completed to add to my industrial section of my layout. It is the Walthers refrigeration kit, but I built it as a flat with a false back to make it appear twice as big as the normal kit. I added sheet styrene to make up the extra 1/2 roof...

Great pic, Paul. Looks like he's enjoying the egg nog! :D Here's hoping everyone has a great holiday season, and that the new year brings everyone here health and happiness. :)

Hi Paul - I'm continuously amazed at how much you can accomplish on your layout while mine seems to be just plodding along. :eek: Do you work on it 24x7? Got any tips for us slow-workers on how to be more productive in the layout room (other than getting away from the forums?;) )...

Here's one of my favorite sites for billboards, thought you guys might like it too! Most of them are shown at an angle shot, so not really usable for our layouts, but many of them are straight-on shots and can be easily resized and printed out on your computer for your layouts. Easy way to add...

Great scene, Val! That really looks good!:D

Looks great! I really like the look of high-hood deisels. They have the look of real, workhorse power to me.

Great looking work there, Mastiffdog. I can tell you've put a lot of effort into making it right. That benchwork looks very well done.

More excellent work from you, Paul. I feel like I could look at your pics for hours. I'm just amazed at your work.

Just goes to show you that those blue-box kits can really be made into something spectacular! Great looking hopper, Mike!

Wow, Paul, you really do excellent work! That whole scene looks fantastic as well. I always look forward to seeing pics of what's going on with your layout.
