    Beware of spammers/hackers

Well folks let me tell you, IF-- I would have sent a virus it would have been by pure accident and without...

    My latest model

    :wave: Ok, here's the story. I laid out some Lego blocks to make a form for a rubber mold to make some ships for my Bay Area layout. After doing so I realized I didn't have nor could afford any rubber latex to make the darn thing. Disgusted, I thought well why waste the time so I reformed the...

    N-Scale Heavy Loads

    :wave: I was so impressed with Bernhard's modeling of heavy loads on HO-Scale that I thought I would try it for us n-scalers to see if we can do what the big boys do. You know what? We can! I had a few over large gears and such for n-scale and use those for the flat car load, sawing one in half...

    Beaser Freight

    :wave: Yeah yeah, I am still on the spare wall kick. (get off it Jim) Every busy railroad needs freight houses, big and small and this is a small one.

    :wave: OK, decals are done, here is the new loco Bachmann sent me to replace the Makato. I had to lighten the picture so the colors are not true.

    OK Bachmann, thanks

    :thumb: I will have to give Bachmann a big thumbs up! Before I retired I tried to buy as much as I could for this hobby and kept putting it on the shelf till the time to use. One of my first buys was a Mikado which had always been my favorite loco. I purchased the undecorated one and placed...

    Double your Pleasure (n-scale)

    :) Tis me, Drew sent me some stuff a while back and one thing was 3 walls from a DPM kit. Well it just so happens I have the same kit unbuilt. So, I thought I would try to make 2 completely different models from the 1 1/2 kits. So here is my first. You can smell the sweet scent of tobacco...

    Tale tale tells

    :eek: OK, here is a little update for all those whinnie hinnie nit-pickers out there. Everyone was worried about my LPB's getting brushed of the tops of cars but I looked at it as population control. Anywho--I redid the thing and used one hair at a time (when is less hair good?)Now in the...

    Requested Templar St. Pics

    :wave: Ok, this will be picture intence. The area started out as a 1ft X 2 ft micro-layout, it is now an area of 2ft. 5in. X 2ft. In the background buildings when I poured the molds I did it to cover the window back so I didn't have to detail, they were painted black and then on some I used the...

    Atlas Tower

    :cool: Hi all, this is one of my all time favorite kits as I think it is by many. I have bought many in HO and N scale. I try to do each one just a little different to keep inline with the area being modeled, giveing it the "it belongs there" look. I still use my road colors of pullman green...
