Looks great - nice modeling, nice pics... Keep the pics coming - we love pics.

That's fantastic! I'm sure glad none of that fertilizer spilled out. I would have made a stinking mess. BTW, if you want the pics to stack up, hit enter after each one of the URL links.

Great looking layout. McQuirk's original track plan had a service spur to the Southeast. Did you decide to leave it out? It's hard to see from the pics.

Ads need eye appeal, take it from someone who's been in retail sales for many years. The google ads are boring - no colors, no highlights, no dancing chickens. No one is going to click on them until you make them sufficiently interesting enough to distract people from the forum.

I think it's a good idea. A lot of newbies come to this board looking for track plan ideas. There should be a reference section of track plans in the Academy. However, we would have to be careful to properly acknowledge authorship and/or copyright.

The two most common types of couplers in N scale are Rapido couplers and MT (Micro Trains) couplers. Other companies have inveted couplers that never really found any wide acceptance. You want MT couplers in order to be able to remotely uncouple. A small magnetic device gets installed in the...

My friend in the Marines just sent me this shot of the latest stealth technology. That's pretty impressive, you've got to admit.

Hey Marxed, I love the video of your train falling over! I laughed, I cried. Two thumbs up.

2 meg huh? I guess I'll have to edit out the dancing girls.

Put up a cash prize for it, and I'll start typin' too.

Soooo, I assume nobody's interested in the bridge I've got for sale? It's a nice one too.

My prayers for your son's speedy recovery and your family being together at home again.

I'm going to build me one of those once I win the lottery.

Now that's just plain weird.

What Russ Said. I also have a couple of removable roofs.

Well, it seems like you've figured things out pretty much. What I do is airbrush the wall with a mortar gray (white is too stark for me). Then I dip a flat-edged brush into the brick paint, and squeeze most of the paint off the brush onto a blotter. Then I very gently brush the tops of the...

Do you have room for a hidden staging area in your track plan. Staging areas make for great operations.

All I can say is WOW!!!!! That's some feat of modeling. Please keep the pics coming as you detail the engine.

I'm anxious to see what you come up with. I've seen some photoshop pics in Model Railroad Craftsman that had smoke "painted" in and they looked positively cheesy. I think it's probably a case of "less is more".
