Here's another view of the prototype: [img] And btw, I think I found that "other" water tower that was causing pofile confusion in an earlier...
That is certainly a challenge with Kato's marketing approach. I didn't mind having to buy an extra sleeper with every dome - but I also have a...
Well, here is a photo of the only straight section I have added any scenery to. The dust on the water indicates how long it's been since I've...
They're all Kato. An advantage of modeling the Rochelle area as a passenger fan is that in addition to the Zephyrs, the GN Empire Builder and NP...
I see that the January Micro-trains are now posted. A very welcomed addition is that the folks in Oregon are now posting their current price list...
Yes, it is a full loop around the perimeter of the modest spare bedroom I was able to appropriate. The four corner modules are each approximately...
These are very nice running engines. [img] [img]
Here are two photos showing my general lack of progress on the layout: [img] [img] (I didn't notice the cat when I took the photo). Jack
Of course, CB&QBob wouldn't have the same ring to it as "friscobob"......although "BurlingtonBob" might be alright. The rest of my layout is...

I don't make it to Rochelle very often, but hope to be back in the Spring. They did a great job with the Railroad park there. BTW George, you'll...
Those roads are a layer of Woodland Scenics roadbed, covered with plaster cloth, with a top coat of plain old vinyl spackle (with a healthy amount...
My camera is a 4 mega-pixel digital Minolta that is about two years old. Nothing fancy. The top two shots were taken with its "macro" setting...
The title of this topic was primarily directed at my photography "skills" (I wouldn't know an "f stop" from a whistle stop....). Fortunately, in...
A westbound CB&Q freight passes the railroad park and approaches the C&NW diamonds in Rochelle: [img] Moments later, an Eastbound Zephyr slows...
I've been using a rather unorthodox method lately to apply ballast. I found some fine point glue tips at the LHS that can be taped onto a bottle...
Thanks for sharing Daryl. It's always great to see shots of your layout. Have a great Holiday.
Is there going to be a (temporary) Sunday night photo event here? This may be one of the only times of the year I will actually have time to...
Well, now we know the answer to the question: "what could possibly look better than one of those new IM FT's?" Answer: a new IM FT with smaller...
