Thanks rsn, Interesting thoughts from Dave Lull, got to have a sense of imagination as well, I expect. Good Philosophical approach to the designing of any layout. Rob, Thanks for your thoughts, I have toiled with the 0n3, and had many a thought on either making a small layout separate from Badger Creek or a total disregard to insanity, and demolish the lot. At the moment, sanity prevails, I will just wait,- think, and maybe have a brain wave in the not too distant future. Or maybe just keep Badger Creek and re-do part of it with some of the plans I have had emailed. Once again, thanks to all. Paul [ 05 May 2001: Message edited by: Paul Templar ]
Hi all, Had a brainwave at last, not taking it all down, only part of it. Here are the new alterations, in RED lines.
Paul, Are you a lone wolf or do you have any kind of operating session, or guys over to run it, however you wish to define it?
Hi rsn48, for about 70% of the time, I am a lone wolf I use a waybill for my operating session, but sometimes friends do come over to run it with me, using the waybills. Not many American modellers over here in the UK I am afraid.
Paul, To bad i'm not in the UK i'd enjoy seeing a few of my mallets on your layout!!!!! Don't matter if they are pulling frieght or log cars means all the same to me their are running aren't they? That would be a great picture!! One of my EM-1's 2-8-8-4's pulling a hugh drag of log cars loaded on that 9 foot trestle you built!!!! I'm dreamin again so..... i'll let it at that [ 08 May 2001: Message edited by: 7600EM_1 ]

Sporting the Western Maryland "Fireball" scheme and being a Challenger!!!! It looks great and runs just as good as it looks!!!!!!! You'll have to pop in the station one weekend to see it. We are open now every weekend of the summer now! I got alot of trains to run and planed out all summer long...... HEE HEE they will all get a chance to have a run at it I believe this year!

Since we are planning a party at Paul's layout: Can I bring my SD40-2s? <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by 7600EM_1: Oh hey Mike I got the M-2 finished and running!!!!

We would love to see it!
Yank, Not yet! I have to buy more film first off and then get them developed and then sent to Watash to be scaned as soon as I get my other rolls back though I will have a few! So you know of the Western Maryland "M-2's" 4-6-6-4's huh? In the "Fireball" scheme and the WM said that paint was basic.....Maybe to them but not to the rest of the world!!!!

Bring it on down here - GATS has a digital camera - or is Paul flying us all to the UK to give the Badger Creek a proper send off? lol
OK - Paul, I've been giving you a hard time - so for a second here I am going to let everyone know what an incredible Model Railroader you are. Guys (and Gals) I'm looking Paul's feature on Badger Creek in the Aug/Sept 2000 Model Railroading mag. He starts the article with "I suppose I get carried away making railroads for myself..." It's OK Paul, you do and we all approve. It seams that the Badger Creek Lumber Co will not be the first RR that Paul has torn down. The Bear River (Aug 99 MRG) was dismantled to make room for Badger Creek. And Bitter Creek (April 99 MRG) before that. And Buffalo Ridge (Sept 98 MRG) was there first. So, Paul has built four world class model railroads in what appears to be 4 years! And the first two were N scale. Well done! I am curious Paul, when did you start Buffalo Ridge? In the words of Wayne and Garth "We're not worthy! We're not worthy!"
Hi Rob, I think there are a few more, here's a Kalmbach website to look at, shows all the layouts I built. http://www.index.mrmag.com/tm.exe?opt=S&sort=D&output=5&cmdtext=%22TEMPLAR%2C+PAUL%22 Quite a few layouts I built for other people, it just took more time to publish them, that's why, I think it looks like I made one a year.WOW.
