Arriving Alpine Finally the “Mike” coasts into Alpine with set-outs for the A & T.

The Cut Off Here it makes the cut-off onto A & T trackage.

Hi! These photos won’t win any contests but they DO show how we operate on the A & T R.R. Now that the engines have been serviced and things have been swapped at the sawmill, everyone grabs a cup of coffee and waits for ‘SPFEB’ which is the Southern Pacific’s eastbound freight out of El Paso...

The Picture OOOPPPS!

N Trak Pictures Since we are talking about N Trak modules, here is a beautiful corner module I shot at the Tucumcari, NM train show. Unfortunately I can't remember who built it but the guy did a very nice job. :)

Greetings! Krokodil, May I also welcome you to "The Gauge", it is indeed a fun forum. Nice pictures!:wave:

The Mad Track Planners Page Agatheron, Just for kicks you may want to check out this guys plans, he has developed some pretty nice plans for doors. They are towards the bottom of the page that comes up at this address: http://www.naisp.net/users/mfischer/m_train2

Your layout I’d like to offer a slightly different approach than what I’ve seen as this interesting thread develops. Track planning is fun but, to my way of thinking anyway, running trains is even more fun. Over the years there have been reams of articles and books that suggest a sequential...

Bryan's Layout Jon-Monon, Thanks for the pictures. Bryan's layout is excellent, it appears to have so much on such a small space yet not crammed together. What a great hobby! A few years ago Model Railroader ran an article about a guy who had a PRR layout in this huge, million dollar "barn"...

Your Pictures Nice shots Charlie! I was just reading about Arch Bar trucks in the Dec. MR. From your pictures I can see what the guy was saying about Arch Bars - "bolted together". He stated they were ban from mainline service in 1939, mostly because the BOLTS KEPT COMMING LOOSE! That must have...

Photo Thanks for the clean up Shamus, I've got a friend with one of those Super Duflex Double Whammy Digitals, I'll have to ask him to take some shots. I swear the depth of field on my camera is just about nil. :(

Gears & Shay's Geared locos of any kind are really something. I’m curious to know if any of you have rode behind one and what you thought of the experience. My wife and I had the great opportunity to ride behind the "Georgetown Loop" Shay and it was quite an experience. Talk about a racket and...

A Memory Sparked What a neat picture! Back in ‘92 my wife and I went up to Chicago from El Paso on Amtrak. On the way back to El Paso we stopped at the San Antonio station. It was a cold, pitch black, rainy night but, since the train was changing crews we were going to be there for a half hour...

Trestle Picture Thanks Grlakeslogger! I'd be more than happy to take a few more in and around the sawmill. Keep watch it will probably take me a few days to get that done. I've got to do dumb stuff like make a living for the next few days.:D

Your Track Plan Hoss, On your first plan you had some space between the “North Main” and “Hidden Staging”. With your revised plan I don’t see how you can hide your staging because you’ve move the North Main awfully close to the staging. Also, you mentioned you may move staging below the...

Disconnects Jon, Neat looking disconnects! I can hear them creaking and squeaking along the line. :D In reference to............. (don't ya love it when they explode?) Awhile back I picked up a tip from one of the magazines. Give your cut-off wheels a drop of CA on both sides and...

Thanks All! Gentlemen, I certainly appreciate the kind words. Try as I may I can't seem to get things very sharp with my rinky dink digital camera and there is hardly any depth of field. But I'll keep trying. Can't get over your pictures and logging line Shamus, absolutely beautiful...

What Can One Say? AWSOME!:D :D :D
