Nice work! I like the bridge. Are the trestle bents scratch built? They look good too!
I don't deal with Ebay anymore because of problems like this one. It's a shame there are so many dishonest people in the world, scamming others...
I recall going to our local club member's shop when I lived in Manhattan, Ks. I had my 2 year old son in my arms when he kept pointing to an N...
I can't let go of my N scale, but, I have been building in O scale narrow gauge lately. Right now I have a 6' X 30" N scale layout and am...
Great framework! Look like you are well on your way. What is the depth of the section against the wall that is being held up by metal brackets?
Yes, I've had burnout many times. This last time, I changed scales to On30. It didn't help much, so I just put it all away. My On30 framework...
I put very little weathering on my passenger cars. Usually just a touch on the trucks, the undeside of the car, and the lower edges of the body....
My main magazine is Shortline and Narrow Gauge Gazette. enough said!
I bought one of each. The 50' tank car looks like an old MDC car. The ethanol car is much nicer with more detail parts. Both have the same...
My local hobby shop is going out of business. They are selling everything at 40% off. I bought a couple of Athearn tank cars. The detail was...

maybe you could cut out part of the body, move the cupola over, and scratch some wheel bolsters. Or, do what I did, buy the Grandt Line On3 kit...
When I got home from work today, there were two big packages at my doorstep. One package had On30 track and the other had the turnouts! Now I'm...

Great job on the roundhouse. I'm interested in the turntable also. How about some more pictures of it.
Bummer! Because of family obligations, I have to use my vacation time to travel in the other direction this year. I wanted to go to the narrow...
Oops, I forgot to mention that your water towers look great! Nice work!
I have a JV Models branchline water tower kit sitting on my workbench. Unfortunately, it's been sitting there since last September when I bought...
How about a simple sanding facility? How about if you build a coaling tower and have your 8 year old build the ashpit for it?
Stretching the buck is a challenge in any hobby. Scratchbuilding, or even kitbashing can save money. I always look for deals at swapmeets, ebay,...
