Jeffrey, that old steamer of yours really looks neat. Here is a pic of the real thing - on a siding along the tracks of the Huckleberry RR just north of Flint. This one hasn't been out in the elements as long as yours has, so not quite as rusty. I realize this is not the sharpest picture I...

Tom, I am totally impressed! The weathering is absolutely fantastic, and I am very impressed with your watering station!

Thanks for that post, Mikey. The I was at that exhibit last March, but they wouldn't allow anyone to tour the train, as they were doing renovations. We got a good look at the exterior (one beautiful train!), but I wondered what it was like inside. Now, thanks to you, I know. Thanks again

Thanks for posting those great pictures, Val. That Hudson is sure one beautiful locomotive. They sure did a great restoration job on that old beauty!

I am getting ready to make my mountains and tunnels, so I reviewed this whole thread again - you are a real artist with that plaster cloth! Thanks for all the tips and a sterling example of how it should be done! I hope I can make mine look half as good.

Kyle, that is some outstanding work! The machine shop looks great, and the detail on that elevator is amazing. Keep those pictures coming.

Nice shots, Brakie - keep them coming!

I was there a week ago - for the fifth or sixth time. That is one of the best railroad museums around. Some of the older engines were damaged when the roof collapsed a year or so ago. They have done a lot of cleanup work, but still a long way to go. Did you notice the estimates for repair of...

Amazing job! That should be good enough to win any contest. The attention to the small details is amazing. All of us would like to get that good someday!

Mike, both of those buildings are great! I really like the adobe gas station - perfect use for a small lot. The day is coming soon when I can start adding buildings and scenery to my layout. Got a few buildings built, but it should keep me busy over the next year. Seeing these buildings on...

Rail work mishap Well, I feel better now that I know other people can be as clumsy as I am. My layout was still in my workshop while I was laying track. I was carefully cutting some flextrack with my dremel cutoff tool, when a friend of mine who had walked in without my knowledge said hello...

Customer service I am also offended by the lack of support of many manufacturers and dealers. When I have problems that they can not or will not resolve, I do everything I can to let others know to avoid them. Small revenge, I know, but at least I can stop others from getting themselves into...

Nice videos! Thanks for sharing them.

As a beginner (did some HO stuff years ago), I probably am not qualified to give advice. But, if a person learns from their mistakes, I have gotten quite well educated! Before you buy ANY equipment - get a couple of books: Basic wiring, Basic DCC, etc. Yeah, I know, no one reads anymore and...

Got back from 3 weeks in Dallas/Fort Worth area (I live in Michigan). Spent a lot of time down there visiting train stores, spending money, etc. Ordered a Consolidation DCC steam loco that should be here in a couple of weeks. I am having the store convert it to DCC so I can spend my time...

The best tutorial I have encountered, as well as the best layout and scenery work. I am putting together my first N scale layout and am finding it a lot tougher than HO. Your work crew must be a lot bigger and more energetic than mine - the progress is amazing! Keep those postings coming. I...

I am forced to do all my ordering on line - I live many miles from any hobby store. I have used several sources. M. B Klein does the fastest job of shipping. Not the cheapest, but they ship within a couple of days - some of the others take a week to 10 days to package the shipments. I have...
