UPDATE 11-23-03 I did some work on my two scratch projects. Cleaned up the enginehouse and installed two of three doors. Next update will be paint! Then kept on with the Gorham station project. Its now mounted to a base which can also have the platform attached to it. The curved part...

dick thats what I am using for gorham station. wish I could find a thinner material. cutting in windows etc. is a pain in the butt.

dick, nice work. you will have to bring that one up next time the maine contingent hooks up! you need to get fred to get an evergreen display for the store! did you use 0.040" for the walls? I wish I could get 0.020" scribed siding, make my life much easier. I am almost ready to start...

Yup! A Ziplock baggie! :D :D Fortunately, my girlfriend understands these things pretty well! :cool:

dick, thanks! the enginehouse hasn't changed much since you saw it at the show a couple of weeks ago. I have to admit the foundation does make it look better, once its painted I think it will really make the effort to add the foundation strips worthwhile. Need to get the windows and doors in...

Jim at highball graphics has some. he only has one N scale set at the moment, for doing the Procor LPG cars which I am dying for in N!!! http://www.mgdecals.com/FN-135.htm so that will give you the Procor logo. Jim will also resize sets for you, email him. He has a bunch of HO Procor...

thanks for the comments! Chuck at FRTS is a buddy of mine...don't tell him, but he sent me a bunch of cards that I use for bases and as a cutting edge! :D His card actually says conductor! I have more pics of the other sides of the station, and one pic of my girlfriend standing in front...

I made some progress today on my N scale Gorham Station. The round front is actually an Advil bottle with scribed siding laminated to it. When its dry I am going to cut in the windows. When it is all set, then I will chop it in half and attach it to the side walls. Each side wall has one...

I also have the Prodigy and its a super-simple, great system. Not very advanced but it does a good job. I had no problems with it at all!

Gang, be very careful with tuner cleaner and anything to do with cars!!! Most tuner cleaners and brake cleaners have chlorinated solvents in them like methylene chloride. If you don't have problems now, you may later - as the plastic cracks and gets brittle. I would suggest either the...

This is the station I started today.....

This was just covered on the big board, very interesting stuff! one of the guys just posted a link to this site http://www.mgussin.freeuk.com/1-32BerlinettaBoxer.htm and it has a step by step picture thread.

That's why I started with this one!! :D :D :D The curved part of the station is easy - I found a round plastic tub 35' in diameter, perfect size - for the front curved part! So I am going to laminate the siding to that (if anyone wants to know, its a binder clip container from Staples...

belg I am building this: http://www.the-gauge.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=7228 as a warm up to scratching this: http://photos.nerail.org/showpic/?2002032016413328021.jpg:bysearch:gorham:SEARCHTYPE=SIMPLE&PAGE=3&SEARCHSTRING=gorham&BOOL=ANY

Hey, Matthyro thanks for the idea! I am about to start scratchbuilding (styrene) the Gorham, New Hampshire station, ex-Grand Trunk, for my SLR layout. I have been trying to figure out how to make the two-pitch round roof for the front of the station where it is curved. I am going to try your...

thanks! It is kind of a boring building but it IS the SLR at Lewiston Junction - the center of the SLR universe! Hoping to find some big HO details for this today at the auburn train show, the stacks look pretty big compared to what I have in my parts box. I was going to start the new...

Now that the work area is finally set up and organized, its time to do a little modeling! The new layout will feature Lewiston Junction, with the SLR shops: The beginning, two front walls: Front view, towards Lewiston Junction Road and the railfan parking area: The end...

Dan, On roadnames, (I am lucky here - MEC and BAR!) they will do them, IM seems pretty committed to cranking out every roadname they can. I had to wait a year for the B&M but it was worth it. I don't have any locos but Atlas, one kato SD, and now the IM TM. To me they seemed super heavy -...

Dan I recently got my set of B&M FTs and I love them! Biggest issue is that headlight, it looks like a blue light. When I put the NCE Decoder boards in, nice yellow richmond controls LEDs will go in. Give them that soft yellow glow they deserve! I wish they had made the trucks with...

billk Atlas did have a policy of not duplicating efforts. Last fall though, on the big board Paul Graf posted that N scale had gotten to a point where they were now willing to consider making models already or previously available. I am hoping they do the GP38-2 and the F40 - both are...
