Becky, you had some serious talent you let lay dormant!! :) Lets Start from the beginning shall we. #1- What do you want this layout to be? a)- an operational mini transportation system b)- a place to just run trains for display and model scenic elements c)- a combination of both...

Perhaps Animation and Lighting in combination...............Consider, many animations involve lighting exp: Chase lights, FX, Fires etc. Sounds like a good child board to me :)

Nice shot Chris, Love the dusk affect . :)

Steve, there is a thread going right now at www.railroad-line.com on a scratchbuilt log loader that would be exactly what you need. I'm surprised no bodies mentioned it since so many here cross paths over there also ;) If you cant find it let me know!! :)

Talk about a Blank Check!!!! :D

Happy Thanksgiving to all my Gauge friends and thier families!!!

I see custom built On30 models that will knock your socks off selling on Ebay for 30.00 and upwards. A very nice Combine just sold recently for over 80.00. It was very well done and had been stored by its owner for the last 10 years. I guess i'm saying that IF you are willing to LOOK once in...

Frisbee's Rule!!!! :D

Start by building some small logging shacks, sheds and perhaps progress to some small industries or business's. Save the sawmill for after your skills have improved and your confidence is high.Do a mock up in cardstock as a fill in to get the footprint and be able to complete landscaping up to...

Well as to spelling , in the States we have a Chippewa Falls and we had Chippewa Indians etc. Maybe we just didnt know any better, as Americans weve butchered the English language for so long its become second nature . ;) Doc, your right, the mystery gets even more mysterious. Perhaps some...

Wayne, really exceptional scenes , Thanks for sharing.:) Ive really got to wonder though about how long that crew was benched after pulling into his final stop missing an entire passenger Coach or Combine (couldnt tell which). Do you suppose the railfans riding in there hijacked that car and...

Adding something like this might make for an interesting scene, This was used in Copper mining but the concepts the same, Tracks laid along flat of tunnel and the sides are dre dug into at a sloping angle.Dug ore rolls down to track level,machine scoops it up and brings it to the crusher.

After consideration and discussing this thread with those involved,I want to say that the quality of the people we have here is truly exceptional and while the timing of the joke above was not the best, the intent was not to derail. I am considering Restarting this thread and likely will do...

They are Kids, they will like whatever you build. Letting children determine a trackplan is tantamount to a disaster. Trying to accomodate thier interest is one thing, but driving yourself nuts over 2 completely differant types of layouts combined in a small area is another. They will be...

When I indicated we could have fun with this i really hadnt envisioned it becoming a joke thread. Thanks for playin along, I'll find another outlet for this experiment.

Lots of room for scenery, operationally sound , Good trackwork for a turn of the century shortline. Simple elegance, I like it. How about a simple fiddle yard extension off that interchange track just for a little added variety. You could hinge it to fold forward for storage and be the length...

Got your attention yet??? I spelled it both ways just in case :D I dont really speak Canadian ya Know eh!! :D:D :D

Speach Speach Speach!!!! :wave: :D

Speech Speech Speech!!!! :wave: :D

MOW Cars, each has its own unique character and the variety is staggering. I also like the flatcar for its considerable versatility (and the fact that many MOW cars can be bashed from them :D ) I find it hard to believe you forgot to list the Caboose................I believe many who...
