I came up with a rise of 4.83" in 138" at a 3.5 per cent grade. I could be figuring this wrong. Also, I got 132" for a 42" diameter circle. I wonder how many more different answers we can come up with for this, LOL! Jim

I get my super glue (also known as CA) at my local hobby shop. It comes in thin, medium, and thick. Also, an accelerator and debonder is available for it. Jim

Thank you much for the info. I've been looking at the huge variety of Campbell bldgs and am amazed that a company could produce so many different ones. So far the only wooden bldgs I've built are a small Blair yard bldg and an AMB yard office. I really like building the wooden kits more than...

Mike, that really looks nice. What a great size to work with. Like you, I'm also a woodworker, and could see myself building some of that size of stuff too. You better be careful or you may end up with a garden RR running all over your back yard. :) Cheers, Jim

Tnx all for the input. I've not only found out about Campbell Scale Models but have been introduced to three other neat websites as well. I've also discovered a lot of Campbell info at Arizona Rock and Mineral at: http://www.rrscenery.com/ I guess a next logical question is how are these...

Does Cambell Fine Scale Models have their own webpage? I've been searching and find dealers, but not their own webpage. Tnx, Jim

Hi Shamus, Another great picture on your busy RR. Does that loader straddle the track or run on the track? Cheers, Jim

Hi Shamus, Here's a thought. Along with the instructional CD that we're trying to coax you into doing, how about doing one with pictures of all your layouts. I, for one, would love to purchase one to have for my collection of model RR photos. Your pictures are an inspiration for all of...

Michael, I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this sad time. Jim

Well Chris, the time of year is perfect. Won't be this summer, but if that show is an annual event, next summer may be a whole different story!! I rode to Prince Albert, Sask. two summers ago for a rally so was halfway there then. LOL Cheers, Jim

Chris, what a great photo series of the show. I went to the Great American Train Show in Portland this winter but it wasn't anything like that! Val, I hope the NMRA is in the summer since I'll be riding my Gold Wing all the way from Oregon for that coffee and those snacks!! LOL...

Hi Chris, That pic was taken up in the coastal mtn range, on hwy 26, between Seaside (on the Oregon Coast) and Portland, Oregon. There's a small RR line that runs from Portland thru the Coast Range to Tillamook, OR over on the coast. It services several mills along the way. It runs down the...

Here's a close-up of the white plaque on the boiler.

Took a few pics of this at the Camp 18 logging exhibit. A close up of the white plaque is in the next pic. Cheers, Jim

Here's my contribution. Cheers, Jim

Paul, What a great picture to show the contrast between weathered and unweathered! Good looking loads also. Jim

Tnx for the info. I've asked about aperature settings before and f8 seems to crop up a lot. Hmmmmm, I think I may see a pattern here for model railroad pics!! Cheers, Jim

Both rails on the Atlas code 83 flex track I have move. One just moves harder than the other. Jim

Let see, I could have someone else finish re-modelling the kitchen and then I could get back to working on my layout. Yeah, that would work!! Cheers from: "Remodeller" Jim

Looks great Charlie. What kind of camera did you use? By the way, I checked out your webpage..........good pics there also. I'm amazed what you've fit into a small area. Cheers, Jim
