My company has an office in St. Rose, LA. Here's a bit of an e-mail that I got earlier from them: A Kansas City Southern train with two locomotives collided with a tractor trailer directly behind our office in St. Rose about 8:30 a.m. this morning causing both engines to derail. There were...

Just a quick followup.... I jumped into the closet over the weekend and it is 4'6" deep and 5'6" wide.... I should have plenty of room for decent staging and a nice turn around in there. Construction will probably not start for quite awhile, every time I turn around I am building...

Actually... while looking at different houses... Having a spot to put the trains was a prime requirement. I would try to at very least plan out where things would go in my head, a few of the houses would have had me in the living room. Things worked out great with the place we got... the...

I have not been around for quite awhile... Life got real busy. But things are finally starting to slow down a bit. I moved in to a new house about 2 weeks ago and now have a dedicated train room. It is 11'6" x 10'6" and has a huge walkin closet(staging yard). Over the next couple of years I...

My job recently changed buildings, and I find myself just a few miles away from Mykawa & Beltway 8. I have noticed the tracks running along Mykawa, and I was wondering where a good place to go during lunch and take some pictures might be....

Troy.... I know that kit you posted pics of... Here's my version of the same... I used a combination of browns, tans and whites... brushed on... The roof is just indian ink drybrushed on ... The "coal" on the bottom was sprayed with chalkboard paint (my usual black)... I may have done...

Doesn't everyone do this? :confused:

I have not been on much lately, and probably won't be too much for awhile. I am house hunting... All plans for my new layout have been trashed... One of the things I have convinced my fiance is that the new place needs a train room. We are looking for at least 3 bedrooms and preferably a...

I bought some new paint and a new brush yesterday. Oh what a difference! I now have some pretty decent looking people (from a distance at least). Thanks for the motivation to get going on these again.

OK.... I painted some people black last night... After they dried, I tried to add some color... Then I showed my girlfriend those and some of the ones I had done before.... She told me not to do the black ones anymore... I tried to get some pics, but my camera is not the best for...

Arlaghan I'm glad I checked this thread.... It looks like you are doing something that I have been pondering for awhile to use on my home layout..... I want to make some of it fit N Trak standards, but hate the joiner tracks.... I was debating making some kind of removable joiner...

This is good timing.... I keep staring at the box of unpainted people sitting on my workbench.... Wondering if I'll get the courage to try again.... Maybe this was just what I needed to get motivated to do it.

Ya know, I have quite a few breadboards left over from when I went through electronics classes.... They keep popping into my mind while daydreaming about building my perfect layout. Keep us updated on what you do with them.

I have a very similar unit I bought at the $1 store. I got it last year and haven't done anything with it yet. I thought about picking up a few more this year, but forgot to run back by before Christmas was done with.

Vic.... I have to say that was one of the most detailed responses I have ever gotten to a question... Thanks. Very informative.

OK.... I've had an airbrush since last July, but haven't had the compressor to use it. For Christmas, I finally got a compressor.... Now- I just need to figure out what I am doing. I sat down today with it for awhile and figured out I am pretty clueless... Here's what I have and what...

OK.... I guess I was just feeling nostalgic.... being the last day of 2003... BUT I just have to know.... Has anyone seen the box lately?

1.) Finish building shelves in another room to hold all the Barbies/clowns/etc.. that my fiancee has collected. This will clear out the boxes on one wall of the trainroom. 2.) Finally go through the varios vcr's, old computers, various junk that I have collected that also fills up my...

That is what I said when I took it out of the box.... Doesn't quite look like what I was expecting an air compressor to look like. I bought a moisture trap yesterday but forgot to get a male-male connector (just not something I think about) ;) Anyway... Hopefully soon I will be running the...
