OK lets see if I can figure out how to post some pictures. This is the control panel I built under my layout where I sit. It is on a 19degree angle so it is easy to operate. I cut logs and glued them together with my glue gun and glued them onto the flat cars. That hot melt glue stands out like...

Today I made my control panel and now I am making 5 log loaded flat cars. I went in the back yard and got some brush and cut the logs and am glueing them up now. Soon as I get them done I will take some pics.

Wow Jules it it going to be beautiful. You have lots of talent.

I didn't know Ho stuff could make a turn on a 2 ft wide track. What is the smallest turn HO stuff can make and can you get it in EZ Track?

Tim how did you do that? Do you have any pics for the construction?

I have a bunch of flat cars I want to cut logs for but how do you fasten the logs onto the flatbeds? I am real new at this.

I am new myself and buying all the wrong stuff. I got some model power engines and some bachmans off ebay and some others from a friend but didn't have one with any real power. Soo I bought two big atherns from the lionel shop today and tried one of them out. They run smooth as silk but you have...

Sledge I live north of Detroit myself but I am originaly from Richwood West Virginia. Not far from Greenbriar. I would almost kill for a set like that. Where did you get it? Henry

I just found the info. It is at McMoran place at 10AM to 4 PM. IS anyone else going?

Wow Ron Wish I had the room and imagination to build a setup like that. Does anyone have the info on the Port Huron Train show tomorrow. It is close to where I live and I would like to have the info so I can go.

Lester I am from Richwood West Virginia. It is mostly just a coal town right now but in the old Days my father had the largest logging crew in the state. Richwood had a huge sawmill and logging business was going strong. By the time I was growing up it was just mostly coal.

I love just watching 3 or 4 trains at a time run around a layout but I am planing a coal loading scene if I can get the coal cars and the scenery and a nice big engine. I want to get a dozen or so cars and run them through a loader and fill them with coal one at a time. I am originaly from West...

How do you run cars on a 2 ft layout? Just forward and backward?

My main hobby is collecting and dealing in old antique fishing lures. I traded some nice lures to a buddy of mine who had the stuff left over from where his son was into it in the 50's and early 6o's.

How can I contact IHC?

I got 5 boxes of HO stuff from the early 1950's. Athern, Tyco, Royco, Ahem, Lifelike and much more. Most still new in the boxes. I got 5 engines and lots of military stuff new in the box. The us army engine is the ahem 89001. When they put it together they forgot to put in the drive shafts. Is...

Doc that looks to be 5 to 8 ft wide. How do you reach to work on it?

I finally got my turnouts working on my center loop.

Thanks for the info. I figured it must be something like that.

Your setup is simply awesome. Wish I had that much room. I had to spend 2 months cleaning out my garage to make room for a 4ft by 8ft layout. Just getting it started. I have one o guage on the outside and two HO guage running in the middle. I want to add a couple N sets inside that when I can.
