Clear as mud....just kidding.......is going to allow for a lot more action (and I lot more work for you reconfiguring!!!!!)

Mike, ?????? I'm confused.....easily done.....I thought you were doing away with Lake Louise and renaming it???? Also, if you are keeping LL, then isn't the double track only from your esisting LL to the top of the spirals???

I agree Mike.....online shopping is sure hard to beat for the $$$$$

Mike, I popped in there this afternoon. Picked up some scenery accessories (tunnels and culverts) but have to agree - they are clearing a lot of their old inventory out - most of the stuff from the revolving display case!!!! Fifer, I know other hobby shops have turned into RC Meccas but...

Mike, Which LHS? (Chinook or T&S?)

I'm after some info on what types of coal cars CP has used (particularly during the 1959 - 1975 period that I model. Am interested mainly in the pre pacman era but will look at anything up to 1975. Also what models in N Scale are available. Are the new Atlas 70ton tubs suitable for hauling...

I posted the following in the N Scale threads but I think it would be more appropriate here: Its funny to see all those from Atlas coming over. I originally started on Atlas about five years ago when the forum first got started (and I was still in New Zealand) but under a different user...

Its funny to see all those from Atlas coming over. I originally started on Atlas about five years ago when the forum first got started (and I was still in New Zealand) but under a different user handle (can't even remember what it is now). Now in Canada for four years, I found the Gauge first...

Welcome as well.

Mike, Have you started painting the 5 SD40s that you got from Ray Metiever??? Picked up my 3rd SD40 on ebay so am slowly catching up!!!! (excluding the SD40-2s that you have!!!) Is Field finished?

Sorry but the E8 B&O has to go.....its an old Atlas / Riverossi (first loco I ever bought as a pre teen in the 70s) and it runs like a dog.....am going to turn it into CP E8 #1801 (wrecked in 1968) to complete the trio of E8s that CP ever had (1800-1801)

You know Mike, after reading a thread on Atlas (am I allowed to mention th "other forum"!!!!), I am convinced that the way to go is to blow up large digital pics and use them as backdrops. Very realistic - especially with digital enhancements. Will use the painted techniques for this layout but...

Ok...its been a while since I posted anything on this thread! Haven't done much work other than conning my wife (an artist) to paint some sky blue backdrops with clouds!!! HAve been busy instead making lots of purchases. Have acquired the following to the fleet: - 2 more sets of Life...

Robin, Any new pics?

Rob, Forgot....plenty of discount train stores advertising online (and ebay) that will sell these considerably less that the MRSP.

Rob, Try the following: http://www.katousa.com/ On the home page....click on the F3 They come in Santa Fe and are a typical Loco for the period you want. Kato and Atlas are by far better than most other Loco manufactures.

Rob, Take a look aat NScale Steve's website such as the following link: http://www.nscalecorner.com/lifecp.html Pick anyone of the older style locos (C Liner etc) and I can point you in the right direction and to what you should be paying for them. Which country are you in?

Rob, More info Please.....Railroad name etx....Plenty of early 1950s engines such as C Liners and Alco FA1s, and E8s available. Not to mention RS series locos....I could go on! Let me know what for and I'm sure I or plenty others could help!

Came across this link at Central Hobbies. Seems they have an exclusive on Kaslo Shells for FP7 / 9s in N Scale due shortly: http://www.central-hobbies.com/products/kasloshops.html Scroll down to the N Scale section. Not sure what Chassis it will fits onto yet but given my last post...

David, Were those lights present on the early first / second generation diesels (Ie prior to 1970?)
