    Sorry for the duplicate, here's a few more to share. Note the hot glue guns - what a lifesaver those babies have been for doing the cardboard webbing!

    Layout Update

    We're running out of room, but we managed to get some HOn3 going around the underside of the layout and emerging on top along with a transfer station area next to the standard guage!

    Messy, but lots of fun, few arguements on planning issues from Dog Jr. but that's what it's all about.

    My Layout so far, Any Suggestions?

    You can change most any scenery. The brown base if fine, it is only your starting point for the surface of the layout - you have a long way to go (and that's good). Several layers of grass, colored foam, etc. will cover most of that brown anyway. Sure, some will peek through here and there...

    My Layout so far, Any Suggestions?

    Looking good! Do you have a way to get under the mountain in the back to clean the track and/or repair? You might also mask off the tracks to avoid getting plaster on them, then you can work easier and not have to be so careful. Keep the pictures coming, I am sure you'll get lots of good...

    Horizon Hobby Distributors, the Death of Athearn

    Hey Rich, I said that I liked your work in several of my posts, I had clearly indicated that I would like to buy some of the pre-1940 cars that you may consider weathering in the future. I think the photographs are great too. My issue is not about your work, it's about promoting your...

    Okay Rich, Everyone loves your weathered cars including myself. However, I think your self promotion on the forum is getting out of hand ad nauseum. Enough already - we all get the idea... DOG

    Horizon Hobby Distributors, the Death of Athearn

    Marc, Selling out of a garage is not a bonafide hobby store. A bonafide hobby store is where an owner made a commitment to maintain store hours and an inventory to be displayed. A bonafide hobby store is staffed to assist folks with their questions. These folks have made an investment...

    Horizon Hobby Distributors, the Death of Athearn

    This topic has been abused on the other train forum. I say Athearn, Shmathearn. Athearn sold the company and Horizon bought it. They own it now and can do whatever they want to do with it. The Athearn brand name is now controlled by Horizon who has its own policy and terms of doing...

    Do you watch the eBay HO Category?

    Hey Rich, he looks like a Neopolitan Mastiff, like the one in the movie Turner and Hooch. Are sure he doesn't have any pitbull in him? And, when are you going to get me some of those pre-1940 beautiful weather cars? DOG

    Weathered Ho Scale Website

    Rich, There are a couple of sellers on Ebay that regularly sell some nice weathered cars. I have bought a few from JWD, and although his cars are very nicely done, yours do look better. I like JWD cars and if some pop up on Ebay, I try to buy them and would continue to. Your cars bring...

    Do you watch the eBay HO Category?

    I am sick of software and computers. I am in the business and have learned that when things were simple, life was better. I don't bother to keep track of my train stuff. Who cares, I buy because I like it. I run it, enjoy looking at it and displaying it. Remember, we're just renting the...

    You're the guy who is realizing big bucks for your items on Ebay! Your work is beautiful and well worth the price some folks are paying. I haven't seen better weathering. Hope to pick up a few of them. DOG
