You betcha.........UPRR, CB&Q, CNW, CGW, IC, Wabash, Milwaukee and C,RI&P or more recent stuff, BNSF, Iowa Interstate, CN.............. no lack of choice in these parts. Bob

Just day before yesterday I spotted the CNW Heritage unit at the head of a consist sitting in the UPRR east yard here in Council Bluffs. It's fun to be able to spot those heritage units from time to time and I keep an eye open for them when I am down by the yards.

Interesting. I posted a response and it didn't show up on the list. Wasn't that important anyway, but I wonder where those things go?? Bob

Although no one missed me apparently, I just checked in and noticed I haven't been on the sitr since July 31st. Guess I'll have to do a little better. I am doing just about as well on my layout that is being sceniced by itself with a light coat of dust. Maybe not that it is cooling off I get...

Lynn; If I lived in your part of the world right now I'd be more interested in knowing how the walleyes were biting :) :)

I sort of was addicted when I started to build my first layout. Then we moved and it took me a long time to get started again and I got this far and have sort of put it on the back burner for right now. I'll get after it again because I can't stand having it sitting there partly completed :curse:

Lynn; I am verry much a start and stop person. I walk by my layout every day and haven't lifted a fingers to work on it for at least 3 months. I have 90% of the track laid with a couple of siding and the area where I hope will someday sit a turntable, which I can't afford at this point :cry...

Oooooo, that was a stretch N-Gauger:D I went back and reviewed the first couple of pages of this thread because I had it in my mind that it was a direct throw off from a discussion a number of us were having regarding an article in MRR about incorporating a polar bear into a scene on our...

Love it. Wonder who is still following this thread. We sure have had lots of fun with it for several? years:) :)

My goodness, this thread is so old I've moved and have a different, smaller layout now. I haven't seen Shamus post on The Gauge for eons. Hope he is still in good health and enjoying the hobby. The same with Woodie!

A litle research tells me that the picture file I wanted to download is too large. I'll have to see if there is a different way to do it. Bob

I don't have any time left today. I'll try to take some time tomorrow, although I think we are going somewhere at some time to celebrate the holiday (that would be our Independence Day). Bob

One more quick try then it's over until tomorrow!

Apparently not. I'll have to do some more research on how to post the picture. I think I know the problem, but as I said, will need to do some checking. Bob

Let's see if this worked:)

I can take a pix easy enough. I have to re-learn how to post a pix to the Gauge as I have a different computer than I did the last time I tried it. It may not be today. Bob

I have thought about bridges and it is certainly a consideration. I have one bridge I could use and could get a second one easily enough. With the 2" thick foam base I used on top of oxboard, it would be very easy to "scoop" out enough foam to create a river or creek.

Lynn; I have built Plan # 56 in the Linn Westcott's "101 Track Plans for Model Railroads." It is basically 6' X 12' and flat. I've got some foam board pieces I want to use to cause some elevation and separation, but again haven't decided exactly where I will use the foam. I visualize it as...

Ah Miles, you obviously have not yet discovered that model railroading is a vice, and sometimes a very expensive one to boot :) I am also convinved that most of the time it is way too complex for my simple mind :cry: One of the reasons my layout has bees sitting unattended for months now is...

I had to go back and look to see when I joined up here...Feb 2, 2001. Does that make me an oldtimer too? I don't mind being an oldtimer, it's an OLD F--T that I'm trying my best to avoid becoming sign1 I seem to have so many irons in rhe fire right now I have not been very loyal to keeping...
