:thumb: Great job there Tom and a great viewing spot. I have gone to places like that and stood for what seemed like hours and saw no trains. And then walk all the way back to the car, start the engine and drive away only to hear a lonesome horn blowing from a long drag. Dosn't that just chap...

:wave: Thanks folks, I have been having a ball bashing odd wall together to make small industries. Thanks again, :thumb: Jim

:wave: OK, decals are done, here is the new loco Bachmann sent me to replace the Makato. I had to lighten the picture so the colors are not true. My road colors are pullman green and boxcar yellow but this is close enough I am not changing a thing. I removed the decal on the tender and replaced...

:oops: As you guyz know I have been playing in the scrap box, I am putting the many walls from kits that I did not use in other projects and making small weird business's that can be used to fill a space but look interesting to the scene. This is one of them. The name may fool you, Ace Hole...

:eek: This one will have tons of pictures so I won't say to much about it. It is scratch built and Brody's is from those spare walls again. I hope you enjoy it and give me some feed back on this because I am rather new at pier scenes. Let's get started. ain't done yet, thing...

:thumb: I will have to give Bachmann a big thumbs up! Before I retired I tried to buy as much as I could for this hobby and kept putting it on the shelf till the time to use. One of my first buys was a Mikado which had always been my favorite loco. I purchased the undecorated one and placed...

:) Tis me, Drew sent me some stuff a while back and one thing was 3 walls from a DPM kit. Well it just so happens I have the same kit unbuilt. So, I thought I would try to make 2 completely different models from the 1 1/2 kits. So here is my first. You can smell the sweet scent of tobacco...

:wave: It's a foggy, rainy night as an L & N fast freight shoots out of the hole and crosses Bay Area on the bay bridge of the W.C. & T. R. R. (2nd photo later) :rolleyes: Jim

:thumb: Great modeling Ralph and great info Capt. I really look forward on getting more of each. I also plan a car float on down the road and as a land lubber need both the sight and sound. Thanks both of you. Going down for the third time :confused: Jim

:eek: OK, here is a little update for all those whinnie hinnie nit-pickers out there. Everyone was worried about my LPB's getting brushed of the tops of cars but I looked at it as population control. Anywho--I redid the thing and used one hair at a time (when is less hair good?)Now in the...

:wave: Ok, this will be picture intence. The area started out as a 1ft X 2 ft micro-layout, it is now an area of 2ft. 5in. X 2ft. In the background buildings when I poured the molds I did it to cover the window back so I didn't have to detail, they were painted black and then on some I used the...

:wave: Time for an update, I have torn out the printed backdrop and added my building flats and also added 5 inches to the west side to add the L & N building and bridge crossing of the Bay Area. Take a look and see if it looks better to you. Some building were removed temperarely to take these...

:thumb: So you say you need another industry or building to create more business traffic? Say you don't have the room unless you tear something out? Say you rather not do that you have to much time in it? Well, settle down lads and let me introduce you to B. A. Noodle. You say who the hell is B...

:wave: I remember back a few years that one of the magizines had a monthly "Is it real or is it a model?" Could be fun and very interesting as well. Not giving the answers till the contest is over. Just a thought. :cool: Jim
