Great work doctorwayne! You do truly inspiring work. Chaparral, I had the same problem when I started. To be truly protptypical, build the ground first and then custom build your bridge to fit, with some minimal "grading" work if needed. Having said that, I did the opposite for my...

Com on, post some pics and lets us see your work. Doc

Just got back from the WGH show in Sacramento. Maybe I was expecting too much but I was a little dissapointed. Looked at everything and was done in under two hours, including lunch. Almost no HO to speak of, mostly N and O. Some pretty good club layouts though. Here's the daily tally. Gas...

There's one in Sacramento, CA this weekend. I'll probably go tomorrow if we're not under water. From the commercials I've seen there may be a LOT of kids. Doc

Nice little cemetary. Not unlike the Boot Hill I plan for the BAD Western. dOC

California born and raised. Used to work in Orange County, have relatives in Arizona, now I hang my hat in Stockton. Will retire anywhere but here. Doc

I used round piles with a pile cap and a trestle on top for a lake crossing. Don't know if its prototypical or not. The first pic shows the structure and the second shows it in place. Doc

I did what Steamhead did. I bend the copper wire into the shape I want to cut out. Here's a pic of my tunnel boring knife. Doc

YOu now have a confirming second opinion from another medical professional. I do exactly the same as Doctor Wayne. (the other) Doc

The BAD Western is in my basement, along with the wine cellar and the laundry room. Doc

Last Christmas, Ms. Doc got me an Lionel Outlaw car, the one with the sheriff and outlaw popping up and trading shots at each other. Just the thing the BAD Western needed. Unfortunately the one she bought on ebay was O scale and I model HO. DOc

Like Gus and Robert, I model the American southwest. Unlike them however, I've been all over it. I chose it because it is what most people think of when conjuring up images of the "Old West" so it is a fitting home for the BAD Western. Doc

Why not just paint the bristol board to seal it? Doc

Here's a pic of my first atttempt using ceiling tiles. I broke them up into pieces about the size of my palm and glued them in place using LN for foam projects. I then scraped them with a fork to blend them together. Next came a heavy cost of KILZ primer, then latex paint. I did have to...

Bummer. :cry:Thanks for letting me know. If you ever find them in HO scale, let me know and I'll do likewise. Doc

After looking at the slot car and doing some on-line poking around, I don't think it really is HO, although the site lists it as such. From what I've found, slot cars come in three sizes, the smallest of which they call HO. It is really about 1:63 scale, not the 1:87 scale used for model...

I've searched ebay numerous times and never found this item. Thanks Doc

Good luck on the Delorean. I've been looking for one in HO scale for three years. I'm modeling 1885 and want to do the one from BTTF III. I saw one post where a guy had scratch built one. Right now I'm trying to kitbash a Lamborgini. Let me know if you find one. Doc

I certainly hope that the kind of problems you're having aren't within the performance spec. I was just about to buy the same unit when I saw your thread and am anxiously awaiting the resolution, especially whatever Roundhouse has to say. Where did you get yours, if you don't mind my asking. Doc

Your dino looks great! What did you do to weather it? Doc
