I don't mean to hijack this thread, but I've always liked this scene. It has a look of realism to me. Any chance you have move photos of it, Ken?...
Back in the 70's (or maybe it was the 80's) Atlas announced they were going to do their HO scale lumber yard in N scale. [IMG] I'm still waiting.
I really like the looks of True-Track also. Except for the turnouts. I would much rather have numbered turnouts. Or at least something comparable...
Hans, I have two words for you... Great Northern :)
It would take a considerable amount of force to do that kind of damage. Both to the rail, as well as the plastic roadbed. If the end of the...
Hey!!! I like the BL2. (Of course, that could be due to brain damage. :))
The list also includes '60 era cars. With a good mix of sedans, hardtops, and even station wagons. If I had any pull, I'd insist he do those in N...

Show her the posting, then say, "I didn't buy it. See how much money I saved." She'll absolutely love you. (Or think you're an idiot. One of the...
Search for Google Earth images of the area, and choose the portions of the actual line that you want to model. You will probably have to...
'Micro Portage' is one of my favorite designs. I like pretty much all of Giles Barnabe's designs. Another goos example is the 'Alderson, Dawson &...
That's the one that has pins holding the truck in, right? It's been a while since I've even looked at one of those old Bachmanns but, if memory...
A couple of suggestions; 1. Thick straight-edge with a 45° bevel along one edge. lay a signle edge razor on th ebevel and draw it through the...
