[ATTACH] Those signs sure aren't small. Not that it matters much to me. Having a sign bigger than the layout that's named after it would be just...
I have been waiting for the day when someone picked up on that. Funny story... A pub near where I live, which does have a lot of Irish...
At this point it's more of a death-knell, for both the layout and for my Nn3 modeling as a whole. It's either the layout gets finished by Thursday...
Here's a bit of an update. The dirt road is finished. The riverbed is finished (still no water), but an unacceptable first iteration...
Well, I know a guy who said he could try and whip up a 3D printed shell for my PowerMax! chassis of the County Donegal Railway's No.11 "Phoenix"...
If I could scratchbuild, I would. But I can't. My mind-to-hand processing just doesn't work well enough to do anything "complex". If I could find...
Well, for starters I didn't lay the track. Someone else had laid the track for a project of their own, but they quickly abandoned it in favor of a...
I ended up installing a small toggle switch on the bottom of the throttle so that I can run trains in the opposite direction if I so desire. I...
I'm still up in the air about how I'm going to finish the riverbed, of course right now my focus is getting a proper locomotive sorted out, and...
I made a proper video of the layout in operation. I also go into detail about various aspects of the layout such as the prototype influnence, the...
The turnouts are cosmetic, and the point levers are just decorative (and are buggers to assemble).
Working on getting a proper video put together. Didn't have time over the weekend, plus what with the recent loco failure and the subsequent pinch...
No photos of this yet because I'd rather wait till it's finished. The first rendition of my wooden tram-engine body for the Märklin 0-6-0 is now...
The material is a light-tan finely ground limestone. I'm mainly concerned about the color darkening or otherwise changing from the natural color....
So I have been fiddling with the dirt road. I have created what I am calling the "oil and chips" method. I paint on full-strength white glue, fall...
Even so, I very much appreciate the fact that you would have lent it to me. That alone means a lot to me.
While I strip some Romex, I was wondering if there would happen to be anyone out there who would be able to loan me a small Nn3 locomotive...
Their website doesn't exist as far as I've seen. And I'm sure I couldn't afford it anyhow. And I couldn't scratchbuild anything more than a box...
"That's all she wrote." My little Märklin 0-6-0 bit the dust today. I tried every trick I've learned and nothing will get it going. I got it for...
I'd say the case was more that rather than it not happening (because the layout was always going to get finished to some extent) it was more that...
