It's not that scratchbuilding is dead, but you just dont hear about it as much anymore. Magazines are cautious of putting a major building project in their pages which takes months of editions to cover properly because it overwhelms the people reading it and text (including internet BBS's) isnt...

Very nice :thumb: Tunnel loader spacing, well, you wouldnt want to lay on the main beam of a skellie while it was being shoved under :eek:

Agreed, they look very nice. I also noticed the extra water tower in the background :thumb:

Well, pasta is a new one to me sign1 Cant imagine what paint or thinner would do to it. Do tell us what happens with your new scratch. :thumb:

Thanks guys. Here's a bonus few pics of various other pieces at that particular Bee. Similar to a donkey's winch: My grandfather (may he RIP) took me to these shows as a wee one in the early 90's, and they were a lot more active back then. The sawmill and all the other...

The belts do take a bit of skill to align with a tractor. They like this method rather than using the stationary engine, as the tractors can be put in sheds whereas you can see what happened to the big one powering the A-frame which pulls logs off the deck and onto the carriage, bad winters and...

I can visualize a bit but cant wait to see what you come up with. :thumb:

Looks like it all turned out pretty well :thumb:

I think i posted these elsewhere on the zealot, but they're from a trip to a Threshing Bee i took last year.

Cant wait to see em :thumb: Your waterfalls in the other thread look great too.

Montana has ports. Inland, dry intermodal ports. Surely you dont think all those containers get shipped across north america from ship to train to ship again? :thumb: It's not lack of any kind of traffic, it's lack of product to be shipped. If i could i'd link to articles about locals...

While i was in Havre last weekend for 4449, i got this video of 16 miles of well cars sitting empty on the old GN spur south to Great Falls. The description explains more. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vMeEsYhtssA I've got some friend's videos of 4449 there too and some other model/real RR...

I like the strata and variations you've done, very nice :thumb: My only bit of advice is to throw a few white patches in some areas and then tone them down with a darker wash of some kind. Then again i've not seen many color pictures of where you're modeling so maybe i'm :p I'm looking forward...

I really like those class A's, are they kits? scratched/bashed? Looking good :thumb:

Very cool, i'd love to get my hands on one of those mechanisms...

Your assumption was correct, the middle screw is ground. :thumb:

It's on the front page, if you look at the zealot hobby forum index. You sure you got a handle on this administration deal, Mr. Shark? :rolleyes:

Not sure why a Zephyr is outputting 25V, most of the time while using one at the club we were lucky to get 14v at the farthest reaches of the layout, even with plenty of feeders. Ya sure you're not reading some accessory outputs? Have you had any problems running locos? Dont forget that the rail...

That thing is almost cute :thumb:

The section with N&Z, HO, O, G, Logging & Mining, etc. is missing. I hope it's not gone for good :cry: edit: found it by seraching my old posts, it appears to have lost its place. http://www.zealotmodels.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=240
