I do. I TIVO it. Last weeks was great with a 1/3 scale railroad in northern california!

It is becoming less common as the engines get painted. CSX bought Conrail. It is a shame too because the CSX paint scheme is ugly. The Conrail blue was rather nice, if not simplistic.

By the end of the year I will not have much to show for it in modeling. I will have one completed structure. That structure will be composed for 4 seperate buildings all attached to each other. I will have a grain elevator, a hardware store that has a fully detailed interior, a lumber shed that...

For those who are taking part in this...man has the bar ever been raised!!!! Not only is it an excellent bash and a very well sceniced diorama, it has an exceptional story behind it. This has been a great thread to watch!

Hmmmm, watcha doing with that century plant on the layout????? Plant enough of them and a distillery will pop up! Century plants are in the Agavi family....

I have a dish that has 2 feeds from it. One goes through a TIVO unit and the other through the normal receiver. The TIVO unit winds it's way through a DVD and VCR player. The normal receiver is straight into the back of the tube. The net effect is annoying if both tv's are on and you are in the...

Excellent job! That is just a great scene with so much to look at!

My wife was busy this past weekend and my daughter had a cold. She was feeling just bad enough to not want to go anywhere, but that was about it. I was more than happy to hang out at home with her. After playing with her for a while I headed to the work area and cut up some wood for a structure...

Impressive!

I hadn't made a joke. The porch full of cows was over the top, but depending on where you have the cabin sitting a stray animal in the area might not be unreasonable. I am sorry if anything I had to say offended you as it was unintentional. I really thought you had a pretty interesting idea.

That is a bit extreme, but a single cow that wandered up onto the porch might not be so bad!

I think the cabin porch is too sterile looking. If it is a cabin that is lived in then it needs something to make it look like it. If it is a garage or shop, then it needs some junk on the porch or some pieces of a future "project" sitting out there. The way it is, I can't tell if the cabin is...

Here is what "I have done" on the freelancing idea. I decided what kind of railroad I want. I chose a shortline. Then I picked where I wanted it to be. I picked Southern Indiana. Now that I have a place and a type of railroad done I decided how I wanted it to function. I then began to make up a...

I am willing to help. I am an N scaler but I will whip something up for HO.

Hmmm, you know, I read that wrong. THanks for pointing that out! I certainly would not make as more than I make now, which will dampen the purchasing efforts.... I bet a bank wouldn't be impressed with those numbers either. They should probably just give the thing away!

I just phoned the wife and asked her what she thought about moving to Mass. Her reply was can you make more money than you currently make and isn't it colder there than in Indiana? Since Yes I can and Yes it is are the answers, I guess I'm bidding too! It says training provided....does that mean...

I am sure Luis meant addition to his roster, but I think he portrayed the real heart of the issue with addiction! That is how my wife refers to it to! Nice looking addition or addiction Luis!

Steam. Although, I will be running both on my layout.... The setting is the late 40's. I am modeling a poor shortline with a good supply of coal available and not much money. They can't afford a new diesel. They are making due with a very old Pacific they got second hand. They had a Porter 0-6-0...

For me it was a love of trains period. When I was just a wee fellow we lived with my grandparents. Their house was RIGHT beside the railroad track. There was the front porch, enough lawn to run a mower across, once in each direction, an enormously long rose hedge, and then the right of way. If...

The boxcab looks like she was drawing Toby.
