Some more figures added to floor 3; but, no real progress on this one. The "food" for the buffet tables is microscopic. Some the size of a couple of pin heads; and I am having trouble with painting them. Hope to finish off floor 3 and figure out how to do a roof soon.:( Have fun modeling...

I am starting a new project using several "IRS on fire" buildings. Two separate buildings will be created by swamping around parts from (so-far) 4 of these kits. Two of the three other variants I know of are in the photo below. The most common variant over here is the Model Power or IHC...

That shed will make an excellent layout "room". Be sure to add heat and air before you start the layout benchwork. Have fun modeling, Swamp Daddy

While on the subject of trolleybus needs, does anyone have a Wilkinson Shaver premium in some shaver sets. It's a MAN SL120 trolleybus as used in the Solingen fleet awhile back. If you have one for sale PM me. Have fun modeling, Swamp Daddy

I've done a small amount of 'added animation' but nothing this complicated or requiring custom parts. Way to go Doc Tom. Have fun modeling, Swamp Daddy

Haven't tried making my own yet; but, in researching this I've found a few YouTube videos which I have yet to watch. However, I did run across this site: https://www.ebay.com/sch/bluetwa2/m.html?item=183622851460&oid=183536798298&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562 Quite amazing as they offer a wide...

Hello all: While not exactly buildings and not necessarily HO scale, here is a collection of advertising signs you can use on your buildings. And, you can easily adjust the sizes to make them what you want. http://www.modelrailroadforums.com/forum/index.php?threads/signs-for-your-layout.20729/...

Hi everyone, I found some more free paper buildings on this site; click the flag for the English version. Most available in N-scale too. Interesting railway station at: https://wediul.de/_modellbau/wg-bahnhof.htm Links to many other free buildings on that page. Have fun modeling, Swamp Daddy...

My experiences have been the opposite. I've had 6 or 7 Maxtors bite the dust over the years; and, when they lowered their warranty from 3 years to one year I switched to Western Digital and have 6 WD drives running now ranging from 600 Gb to 2 TB each. I have a WD 3 TB waiting for something to...

Will definitely document these lines (as well as the layout in general) when things progress further. This will, unfortunately, not be soon as I am still building benchwork to hold completed structures as they are cleaned up and put back ion use from 5 or more years storage (the big basement...

Hi all: I acquired an AHM minibus figure 8 set of trolleybus overhead in November 2018 (poles, some wire, & 1 - 90 deg. crossing piece), then in December 2018 I got lucky and acquired 3 electric switches and 3 - 90 deg. overhead crossing pieces. No poles or wire with the latter items. Such...

Plant types 3 & 4 here today, Friday the 14th. Everything really too large for HO so I'll have to do some creative shrinking. Should have photos soon to finish off the Luau Room and all sub-units inside the building. I hope to work on the roof soon, maybe done around Christmas time. More...

Fourth, and last, installment of the early days: Years, and jobs, later I was out of the computer field but got my first PC, and IBM Aptiva that looked something like the photo attached. It worked OK but was limited by a very small, 3.4 Gb hard drive. You had to erase most of the silly games...

Installment three of the early days: After leaving the 7090 mainframe building I went back to the EDP unit and found the IBM 610 had been replaced by the ever so much better IBM 1620 (as mentioned by T.L.williamsjr in his post). The 1620 was an oddball machine (and maybe a one of a kind type)...
