Thanks Jason, These are what I needed of my up coming project. More detail workings of a loram grinder,although this HO model will take months to build. I should have something started in the coming month. Along with two other projects in the works,this is number three. Patrick...

Hello, I got a hold of one of these same type of HI-FI athearn drive A & B units. Mine is still waiting for rubber bands. I've heard that these locomotives don't pull very well, due to their rubber bands. Mine is from the 50's or 60's, motor still works. I'll get her fixed up and...

Sorry it took so long for me to reply back. This first picture is of two cardstock molds of different bridge abutments. I used a pair of metal shears to cut the card stock,this is very hard to cut stuff. I made these molds with out the help of measuring another abutment,just think of it as...

Hello all, I've done some on-line shopping for pricing gatorboard. It would appear that you save a little money buy purchasing a large lot of gatorboard at one time. But the problem with this is one would have to buy a lot of 15 4'X8' sheets in a case for around $600.00 bucks. I don't...

Hello all, I really got sick of paying for over priced resin bridge abutments, so i made some.I moved for New York to SC over ten years ago and one thing I miss is the the limestone walls used in NY & PA. I started by using pieces of old cardstock, cut to the desired height and width...

Hello Bloyseboy, I finnished up the cat dozer with ROPS,ripper and a new blade. The only problem with showing pictures of this tonight is my dog. You see I'm the proud owner of a very weird Jack Russel terrier, he flips out over bright lights such as a camera flash. So it will be tomorrow...
