    progress on my layout

    Sorry to have kept everyone waiting so long! I was having a lot of problems logging in to the site when it was switched over to Zealot, but it appears to work fine now! Lots of things have been going on in the last 6mos since I posted. I'm renting a townhouse (moved in 6-24, day after my...

    Don't laugh too hard...It's my first attempt!

    Steve, guess who finally came back to read up some on The Guage! I had a lot of problems logging in when the server first got switched, but seems to be ok now. All I can say...you have done some great work on the layout since I was here last.

    My newest scene - Abandoned steamer

    Jeffrey, that is one cool scene. Very well executed too. I really have no new comments to make, as everyone else ahead of me pretty well summed it up

    Sometimes you just have to take a picture...CAUTION...lots of pictures

    Cool, thanks for the info. Maybe eventually I can add that to my BN collection, along with my Kato SD70MAC with the executive paint. Those would look great next to each other

    New power on the Ballantyne branch

    Cool looking loco. I know what you mean about short lines, branches, and locals. I've been getting more interested in the EJ&E outside of Chicago lately

    SD70MAC not running full throttle

    As far as I can tell, the lights still work the same they always did. Guess I'll have to taker apart when I get a chance one of these days

    SD70MAC not running full throttle

    It has ditch lights, headlights, and running board lights, and I think maybe a light in the cab. I just find it funny that it used to run full throttle in both directions. One night I take it out of the box and it will run up to the 40% mark, then bog down. Even with no cars behind it

    progress on my layout

    I think I will order those bridge shoes, eventually. Some bills have to be taken care of first though. I can always just weather them to look used. Another thing keeping the building planning as slow as it is, is the fact I don't really have any. Again with the money thing. But the first...
