I knew that if I waited a while, someone would ask this question for me.

I found it through wikipedia. There's miniatures going at it all over the layout. The modelers must have way too much time on their hands. Did anyone notice that there's also a murder/crime scene at the sunflower field?

There was a character on CSI that was a micro modeler. It would be nice to have his talent... Except for the whole him being a serial killer thing...

Hey, stick to the topic... hamr

Does anyone know someone who actually tried kitty litter? Funny thing is that before this thread was posted, I looked down at the cat box and thought "Hmmmm... Nah."

The ballasting subject is like whipping a dead horse but I can never get enough of it. How deep should the ballast go? I can't seem to hide the roadbed outside the track. What's the foot per container of WS ballast be? I might have to find an alternative source for ballast. Me thinks it may...

Looks like you're workin hard. I would look into some scenery manufacturers that specialize in roads. I know I'm not looking forward to laying roads ....

That's my kind of sunflower field. :D

Just got through wiring the track and the switches. I ran one of my engines around the track to test the switches but when I ran it in reverse. The snow plow hit the snapswitch and came to sudden stop. I laid the two turn outs to close to the radius and it doesnt give the engine time to...

You guy's make me want to pull my progress pics before I post them. Very good work Wickman. Miles, your past stuff looks great and I'm sure that your new project will be even better.

I was getting a dozen emails a day from someone claiming to be eBay and PayPal. It got so bad that I told them to close my accounts. When the companies replied to me by saying that all was still safe and told me how to recognize true company email, I told them that I didn't want to even have to...

Can't wait.

It's 5 wires and about 20 gauge. I didn't know that when I bought mine and was a little dissapointed but I started to use it and it works great with snap switches, splices and crimp on terminal connectors

Times like this, I wish I had chosen N scale...
