Very glad to see you back,,, like others how did the tests go?? Keep us here at the family informed.. Ron..

Nice one upguy.. but on the more serious side it reminds us all of the care that we have to take while hanging those lights, here in our area two people died, in separate instances, last Dec just prior to the big day, they fell off their roofs while hanging the lights. Needless to say the...

CSX: I agree with Brakie, very good advise. What is wrong with yours, you got it to the point of 80 percent finished so you must have been satisfied with it to this point. I have seen many layouts that have been featured in pictures and think wow I would like to change mine to that, but when...

Stan: I use what Bill has done, I use a balsa stripper, got it at a hobby shop that specializes in model aircraft. I get my coupons out of the paper for Michaels and buy three inch and four inch width balsa sheets, usually the one sixteenth thickness size. With the aid of a #11 blade you can...

I have two modules to build for my layout, 5 ft x 30 inches, I am concidering using blue/pink foam. I will make a rectangular frame using 1 x 4's. I am concidering using foam set inside the frame instead of the plywood top to make them lighter so I can move them to the work bench or barn for...

Thanks Chris will give it a try..Ron..

Thanks for all the good comments, encourages one to do more, thanks again. The furry thing is another hungry stray cat that has just shown up, he is very friendly but starving, we live in a farm area and get lots of dumped animals, this one is just one of many, and I can not see an animal go...

Borrowed the old digital camera from work last nite, put some projects that I have almost completed onto a disk that fits into the camera. All the pictures were taken with the same camera at the same time. I have posted pics of two of the projects and when I go to post pics of the tressle it...

I used styrene, the bottom is paper image of brick that I glued onto the styrene. Thanks Ron..

will not see much from the back side, will mostly be trees and shrubs, just took the door off and closed it in.

looking from the other side

side view:

Needed a passenger station and storrage shed for the logging line, as I needed a small one of each I decided to combine the project, if I can find the box that I have all the people in I will add them next. front view:

another view:

vehicle side:

This was done from plans from an old model railroader magazine, almost done, have to re do the upper roof as did not like the way it turned out so took it off, going to do it in tar paper. Track side view:

Seen their layout several times and just amazed at the workmanship and details that go into the whole layout. All the modules blend in together and it is just spectaular to watch the trains run. thanks for the pics..any others of the show as had to work that weekend and could not get there..Ron..

Zug, put the good stuff away and just leave a few of your older rolling stock out just to make it look okey to a non railroader. You can take one half decent engine( not a good one) out of its put away spot to run while guests are in your train room then when YOU are finished running trains put...

Glad you made your way back.. Ron..

Has anyone built the san juan central that Malcolm Furlow built during the mid 80's ?? Any comments or suggestions ?? Thinking of it with a logging theme.. Ron..
