Hey guy's I like the engineering on the middle bridge. Was the engineering from the bridge to the rock formations or from the rock formations to the bridge or could it be since it's in our own little world of make believe could it have been engineered all together. :mrgreen: Looks great.:thumb:

Hey Doc Tom & Bill thanks for the ideas. Even though I like the wye idea this thing is getting huge. I'm thinking about a hand operated turn table just to get the engine out of the yard after the drop offs & back in front of the emptys. I've got a Coal Mine project going on as well & I have been...

Looks nice Dave especially the lower elevation in the back for the dock.

Nice Job Hey Frank those Loco's look nice. I just bought some old Rivarossi's made in Italy on ebay from an estate sale & when I got them I found out they are brand new, looks like they've never been used. I will post them later on in the week. I hope your new endeavor with the move will be...

I like what you did with the lower level as well as ditching the shutters & adding the detail on the front. What your going to end up with is one of those projects people look at & say where did you get that one. What a scratch builder loves to say is you don't get that you have to make that...

Hey Bill Thanks for your interest. I have been working a lot lately & my son had surgery on his knee recently. This year has brought a lot of small jobs instead of what I am use to being much longer jobs. I have been working on a 2 story office/apartment building for the mill in styrene. It's...

Wow Doc, I haven't been on for a while & you have raised the bar this time. I like it, very unique. You have to have an artistic flair for this type of modeling. Your travels probably help a lot. You should be commended for your efforts over there & you know as I do you will definitely be...

Hey Bill no need to apologize for your Surrey Parker builds. That project was a real good ride even if they are missing their middle legs:-D I had to say that, again a great project from a great builder.:thumb:

Nice job on the water Bill. I have used floor finish before with great results. Did you tint yours or just paint the bottom effects on the bottom before pouring as I do. The one problem I had with floor finish is because I build on 2-4" foam panels sometimes as small modulars & then place them...

Looks really good Tom especially the colors of the buildings.

Hey Mountain Man the only stupid ? is the one never asked. If you notice the wheels that the belts travel on are very much wider than the belt. Perfect alignment between these are impossible due to many factors,vibration,dirt,moisture & tension changes. With normal use the tracking of these...

Looks very nice & well designed. Once you get your project walls up make sure you concentrate on areas for bracing to prevent warpage. Looks like it's going to be an interesting project. Keep us posted. :thumb:

Right you are, them legs look improbably spindly. Now my railroad is a fictitious outfit. I have been immersed in logging history since I was a little kid, and much of what you see on my railroad is stuff that I have pulled out of my ***...

Hey Bill just a friendly thought & suggestion. First of all modelers with high levels of craftsmanship, efforts for detail, & desire to build as though they are the real thing as you do sometimes warrant certain constructive critizism that normally would not come to other modelers. I know the SP...

No way ho I've got to go along with Maico Shark on the 1/32 scale. My son models 1/72 military & his tanks barely cover the palm of a hand without touching the fingers. I model 1/87 scale trains which is HO scale & this tank deffinitely is not HO. Wiki this Mammoth Tank & find out what the...

The water fall looks good Bill & also the colors beneath the falls. :thumb:

Yeh Bill I'm well aware of the Amish Culture & how they work together. I actually have about 10-12 more workers to add to that scene as well as all the good stuff that goes with it. Once this goes on the layout I'm going to add some ladies preparing some of that good food for those hard workers...

Thanks Gus. I use Poplar & Cedar mostly because I get a lot of that waste off my jobs. I didn't want to pay the high dollar amount for a simple modelers table saw around $400. so I aquired an old Rockwell cast iron model that I converted by closing up the blade insert area so the tiny pieces...

HO scale. Have a good weekend!
