    You should have enough room between the garage door in the open position and the top of the ceiling by the looks of your pictures. But depending on the location of the light fixture, if the garage door was in the open position, it could possibly block out the light (I'm not sure if you would...

    I would think that anything you do in the garage should not contain any liftout or roll in/roll out structures due to the severe change in environmental conditions (I'm thinking severe warping). I'm not sure what the conditions are like in WA, but that is something you may wish to take into...

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

    Train to work Steve: Galen designed a plan for me some time ago that used my 4-8-4 and a car to get the miners to and from work. I think that would be a great idea; you then would have another "excuse" to run your passenger trains. Happy workers are ones who ride a train to work (OK, I just...

    Letapedis: Steve has it right; keep reading and asking questions. We here at The Gauge are always around to answer the questions, so don't be afraid to ask. Steve: I love the shots of the mine from underneath; that is some great work you've been doing. I'm still wishing I had a bigger...

    Herc, not a problem. I'll get em out and get a few shots of both of them for you. gottaBreal, the ballasting has stopped for the moment (because it's evil and it stinks). What I have done was just underneath certain sections of the second level that I needed to do before putting the top on...

    Help me I have a sickness!

    Herc, yes I went to Spencer yesterday to the Little Choo Choo Shop, and I guess I also have a case of ADD as well. Steve, I'm not giving my beloved N&W engines away to you, Deano, or anyone else; I'll take my chances buying more and keeping them for myself. Deano, Miles, Terminal. .. . . ...
