[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] I haven't posted in quite a while, but my latest project is a Quebec, North Shore & Labrador Dash-8CM model...
And more photos. I wasn't expecting to see a BNSF Superliner. I see modeling possibilities here. The bascule bridge and rotary dumper were...
Ok, photo time. The first photo is the Pere Marquette coming in, and the second is from my seat. The later views are in Chigago.
OK, everyone. Time for my report. My presentation at the conference was a great success, so I was eager for my ride home. I woke up extra early...
Very nicely done. I love to see the little backstories around the layout. Good job with the lighting as well.
I wasn't going to bring my good camera, but you can bet I will now. I have a pretty good layover in Chicago, so hopefully I can do a little...
I will be a guest speaker at a conference in Michigan next month and looked into taking the train as opposed to flying. I love to fly, but it's...
We have used peppermint extract to repel the cats. We soaked a couple of cotton balls in the extract and hung them from paperclips where we...

Are those the cars you ordered from France? I'm glad to hear they're still in business. I hate to see any RR manufacturer go under.
My wife's cousin's son (got all that?) is autistic and loves trains. I let him run my Broadway Limited AC6000CW with the QSI sound and he was a...
I used the Kadee #18 couplers. They click right in place. The Athearn f59's are based on their older drive mechanism which means they are a little...
Thanks for your input, Josh. I've done a lot of airbrushing in my time, and never used household latex paint but what you're suggesting seems to...
I'm actually building up my Amtrak Cascades right now. I have a couple of the Athearn F59ph's and a Bachman f40 that I'm going to gut and make...
I have used Pine-Sol in the past, but now use Chameleon paint stripper. It doesn't harm the plastic, has no harsh smell (not too bad anyway), and...
While I am lucky enough not to have very many limitations (yet), I am a Certified Professional Building Designer specializing in Barrier Free and...
