Great job Ed. Night photography can be tough. The light cast by the light pole is just right for the scene. Eric

Bill: That is an awesome bridge. What did you use for handrails? As for a LHS, try the Hobby Gallery, on Meriden Rd., in Wolcott. It might not be local for Milford, but they do carry the Central Valley line of Girders. I think that Shelton Railroad Systems carries the central valley...

Belg: Wow, I got dizzy just looking at the photo! ;) What scale is that modeled in? Eric

Xaniel: You took some great photographs. Thank you for posting the photos and the link to the ones on your website. I happy that you enjoyed the show. The layout scenery looked very nice. Eric

Nice job TrainClown! The van looks great! I'm sure the fiberglass technique would provide a lightweight and durable scenery structure for modules or portable layouts. Thanks for sharing your work and the great idea. Eric

Shamus: It's been great having you back. Rest up and we'll look forward to your return. Take care. Eric

The scenery is really coming along. I love those trees! Eric

Casey: Excellent job with building, scenery and photography. Keep the pictures coming! Eric

It looks like you are off to a great start! The benchwork looks nice and sturdy. You are farther along with your layout than I am! Mine is still mostly in my head and on some scraps of paper. Keep up the good work. :cool: Eric

Casey: Outstanding work, as usual! We never get tired of seeing great work like this. Eric

Casey: Your modeling and photography skills continue to amaze me. This forum is so much better than a print magazine. Keep these shots coming. You really do a great job of creating a sense of time and place. Thanks for sharing your work! Eric

Wow Charlie! What a great idea to combine the ballast wetting with weathering! That cuts out that step down the road. :cool: I will try this when I finally get some track put down. Thanks for sharing this idea and the pictures. Eric

Gasp, a half truth! :eek: I'd just play up how "efficiently" the work was done, resulting in not wasting materials. Since the materials are here anyway, why not put them to use. Ok, that didn't pass the straight face or complete honesty test either...;) Eric

Val: Your work is very inspiring! Your attention to detail and setting a scene really breathes life into what could otherwise be static models! Thanks for sharing this process and the printed curtain idea! Outstanding work!!! :D Eric

Hello. This is really an interesting topic. There is a lot of resourcefulness among the members here. I don't post much, but I check out the Gauge every day. I am in the process of starting an N-scale shelf layout in our bonus room over our garage. Heat, central air, carpeting are all...

This photo was shown on the Weather Channel. All of the "experts" agreed that it was a well done digital alteration. Hurricanes do not have a well defined outer cloud wall. The eye wall may look like that, but not the leading edges. The sea is also extremely calm for being right at the edge...

Paul: What a fortuitous turn of events. ;) It is always best not to run out of materials when undertaking a major project. Having a use for left over materials is a very responsible way to make the best out of the situation. You wouldn't happen to have any left over 1x3's, 12 or 14 gauge...

csxengineer: Most craft stores carry a spray paint for "stained glass" projects. This is safe for plastic and it translucent. A thin coat will allow you to see through it a bit. This is effective if you are lighting your structures. I used it on a couple of HO passenger cars I helped a...

Casey: Your attention to detail and ability to create a sense of time and place are incredible! I am always inspired by the level of skill exhibited by you and the members of this board. You have helped me set my goals higher for my own modeling. Thanks for the inspiration and the...

I don't usually go to tag sales or flea markets, but I did go to a flea market last weekend. One gentleman had two steam locomotive tools, but he didn't know what they were. I was able to pick up an ash rake and a hook for shaking steam locomotive grates for a total of $10.00. :cool: They...
