I had to trick the piece of crap software called photobucket into letting me download my OWN pictures. I sure hope they go broke soon. Anyway, I...
Hi Joe! I'm way up north in NV, 30 miles to pavement. Love it... I'm not sure where 'civilization' is to be truthful. Ask away, show us some of...
Beautiful models, very nice work!
A couple more details: [img] I've been trying to figure out a way to make LARGE nuts for the tie rods on the car. Today I found a plastic coat...
When the word got out about building a new carriage, a crowd formed... [img]
Some of the stockholders came to review the new tank today. They are pale from the long winter... :startled: Snowing here today, but nice and...
Here's how the MKII version looks. I added the extra dimples for spacing and a guide for alignment. The guide is removable and can be shimmed (I...
So, it is snowing, I'm bored. I took an idea I saw on the net and built a rivet gun with a ball point pen, some wood and a file handle. [img]...

Thank you! I too like these little rigs. I'm planning a cargo 'trailer' for it too. This is the main transport for the miners and loggers in my...

The 'windshield' is now in place as well as the driver's area and cargo area floor. What was formerly the end panel and door from the passenger...
Some progress... a caboose donated it's front and rear doors and a boxcar donated it's sliding cargo doors. I've fitted part of those and trimmed...
I just laid the curve over the reversing section, said TLAR (that looks about right) and started cutting. :)
I added another post because I almost lost the first one... unresponsive browser... Here are closeups of the switch sections in both positions...
I was asked about this, so here goes. I didn't take any pics during the build. If I do another I will take pics. I used a 15" reversing track, a...
The front truck and cow catcher are now mounted and the engine cover is made. The cover is made from a scrap of PVC rain gutter. This stuff works...
I'll try to get some pics of the switch. The locomotive was painted with Rustoleum satin black. I also used some water based black enamel.
