Question Woody, I have a question for you... In Aussie, do they run American Railway Prototypes, or British/European Prototypes?

Shamus, that is really nice...and the background is perfect! :)

Looking good Shamus

How did you... How did you explain to your wife why the layout was in the bathtub?

Rory, Yup. That is the one I bought. Great price, but I think I get more fun out of it than he does. Still a little too young...and so am I, I guess. ;) The only real problem was on the bridge with the lifts, the connecting pin is out far enough so when you connect the track it binds up...

cool Rory, Looks like the same set I picked up for my nephew. He isn't quite 3 yet, so he doesn't get to play much with it, but it is there for him as he grows into it. I was a little disapointed in the quality of the connections between track (especially on the bridges) but think mounting...

Merry Christmas all Well it is 6:10 (18:10) pm here, and I am about ready to call it quits to work and head home. Not much of a way to spend Christmas is it? I wish you all a Merry Christmas, and hope you all enjoyed it. Myself I don't get to see my family this year (not until the weekend)...

Good job Shamus, I really like your older layouts...

how sad What a sad sight... Good luck on the new Badger, knowing your skills it will be great. Have fun,

I have a plaster base to which I need to affix some ground cover (sand ballast, ground foam, etc). Should I just sprinkle it on the dry plaster and spray with a 70/30 mixture of water and white glue? Or do I wet the groundcover with water and dish detergent, then spray with the glue mixture...

Greg, I am getting similar feedback from others, who avoid using Sculptamold for flat/smooth areas. However, they say this is a paper-mache that causes the lumps and that the bonding materials will strengthen the lumps. If I am careful, or willing to work the stuff by hand, then it works...

I sat down last night and mixed my very first batch of sculptamold. The mix itself had large lumps in it (about 1/4"x1/8" for the very largest) that were composed of not setup plaster but what looked like shredded cardboard. Thinking this was by design I proceeded to add the water to the...

looks great The 2nd house looks a million times better than the first one. Great job...the 3rd is great too, but it defiantly needs a dog or two and a beer drinking fat guy (I'm not busy ;) ).

a suggestion A suggestion, I have noticed that what they call "HO" scale vehicles actually differ a lot in size. Especially in Autocarriers (the cars there look more like "N" when compared against a typical "HO" car). And semi trucks (deisels) tend to be oversize. If I were you I would plan...

heralds I'm pretty sure I had some of the stuff you are talking about, and it is only slightly more sticky than a post-it note. I know it isn't temporary, but I am going to print some loco heralds up on it and stick it to my cars and what-not to see how it would look before I do anything as...

That is really sad, I hope that maybe hearing this will cause others to wisen up and stay off of the tracks...:(

Matthyro, we too had a snow free November...or I thought it would be. We've had snow everyday now for about 2 weeks...sometimes not a lot, but usually it comes down pretty good. Charlie, great looking crane there.

Thanks Bill, I didn't think of it that way...I figured that it was becuase they were mapping and surveying as they went, but I wanted to be sure.

I often see the older railways (usually logging routes) had names like Mill Creek RR and Navigation Co. Why were they calling themselves Navigation Companies?

Hi, I don't know how good they are but all of IHC's basic cars are on sale for $1.98 - $2.98, these are usually about $5 - $10. Unfortanutly this doesn't include the Log Buggy's, BarnHart Loaders, of MOW cars which are only slightly discounted. Good luck finding the roadnames of your choice...
