Philip: Great work on the details! People will be just dying to use those coffins! ;) Eric

Ed: I've seen the module, with the Thomaston Station, at the Torrington Town Hall, last year. I didn't realize he ran a hobby shop in the area. I'm still mourning the loss of Tom's Trains and Valley Hobbies, but at least they still do mail order. I model in N scale and plan to replicate...

Ed: I've seen that building before. You did an outstanding job in recreating it! That would be a perfect trackside addition. I am happy to see modelers preserving NH rail history, especially on their layouts. Your model captured it perfectly. I work in the Litchfield area and am a member...

Waaaaaa Haaaaa Haaaaaaaa:D :) :D :D Eric

Paul: That is amazing. You are a man of many talents. Thanks for sharing that with us. Eric

WOW! That looks great! Very original design for the paint scheme. I like it. :cool: Eric

It appears that some power company might have built a 1:1 scale cereal-board powerplant after being inspired by some of the work done by a certain member of the Gauge. :D ;) It works fine for smaller scales, but apparently not for the real thing. ;) Eric

We just got power back about 4:00 a.m., in western Connecticut. One of the advantages to N-scale, is that it is simple to hook up a 9V battery to a test track loop, and at least be able to run a DC loco and a few cars. Oh sure, we had no water, lights, or A/C, but those are mere...

What??? Valley Hobbies closed!!! We just lost Tom's Trains, in Wethersfield too! :eek: :confused: :mad: :eek: Eightyeightfan1, where is the shop you mentioned located? Do they carry anything in N-scale? I work in the Litchfield area. That looks like an interesting place, especially...

Congratulations Michael! That looks like a great house for a family. At some point, you might be able to enclose the area under the screened porch for a train room. It would be easier than digging out a basement. A few insulated walls, a quick slab floor and a dry ceiling, allowing for...

Thanks for the great responses. I still have not made the purchase as of now, since I have not gotten past starting my benchwork yet. I appreciate the information. Spaus001, thanks for anticipating the next question that I was going to ask. I was curious as to how easy the two handhelds...

Welcome to the Gauge Bill: I agree on using foam over the plywood. Whether you use the foam or not though, I would suggest applying latex adhesive caulk along the bottom of the molded roadbed edges. This will help hold the track down and should cut some of the sound transmission down. I've...

Belg: The Conway Scenic Railroad is a great way to spend a few hours. The trip up to Crawford Notch is great, especially the stop on Frankenstein Trestle. The old freight house, by the station, houses a great model railroad that had been featured in MR. The last time I saw it, it was still...

Considering some of the recent fantasy releases from microtrains in n-scale, that looks pretty realistic! ;) Eric

Shamus: It was great to see your post. I'm still new, as an "official" member of the Gauge, but I've been hanging around here for some time. I want to thank you for sharing your craftsmanship and experience with the rest of us. I wish you well in recovering from "what ails ya." Take your...

Hello again. I'm still new, as a member of the Gauge, but I've lurked for awhile, and know you'll all have some information for me. I'm just starting construction on a larger sized N-scale layout. I'll be running up to about four trains at a time, some of which will have multiple unit...

Thanks for the warm welcome. I may not post much at this point, unless I have questions or something to contribute. I am generally a man of few words, unless I have something to say. ;) I can assure the members of this forum that I am here for the trains, not to take part in flame wars and...

Hello. I'm new to The Gauge, but not to model railroading. I am currently building a shelf layout in a multi-purpose room. I am using the Closet maid type shelving brackets. The wall standards are available in different lengths, which allow the layout to be closer to eye level, and to have...

Welcome to The Gauge. I am also new to this forum. There may not be as many posts here as on the other big board, but what is here is definitely worth reading. It is great to have another N scale modeller around. Eric

Well, this is my first post on The Gauge. I model in N-scale and wanted to comment on the outstanding work done by Gavin. I have seen the threads on the backdrop painting technique and the balsa bridge construction. I am amazed at the quality of these projects. The bridge has given me...
