Jeff, if you see Jurg, tell him that we miss him and his pictures. Lajos, I am glad you like it, and what is going on with the NTS. I am sure its going to be great. I saw some of Jim's modules. I know Rob is going to be taking a lot of great pictures for Ztrack, but I dont know if I can wait that long, so you better take some pictures also. Have fun.
John you did a great job painting. If you really want to touch up any parts, I recommend using a tooth pick with just a small dab of paint. That has always been a great way to touch up any small spots. However the normal eye will not even see anything wrong with the job you did
Dom, nice work on the layout. I, like John, recommend you get the trians running. Once you do you can relax and take time with scenery. For whatever reason just having some of the trains running sure mkaes everything seem just a litte bit better.
Howdy All Just got my new MTL UP GP9 from Joe..... Thanks Joe!!!! Heres a link to the picture... http://zcentralstation.com/modules/xcgal/displayimage.php?pid=4211&album=lastup&pos=0&cat= Tony B... Wasatch Z Club
I just got a box full off candy from one off our fellow Z-Scale friends. I have not yet got full overview off all the parts yet, but there is a lot as you can se. So I guess that my building table wont go empty for a while. :tb-ooh:
I got alot of great stuff from our Z Scale Friend too! I also got a package from you Torsja, that came in the mail about a month ago, and my wife put it on my layout. I started cleaning my garage a month ago, and it was burried until last weekend when I found it! Great stuff!
Don't we have nice friends Robert. God to hear that you got my package; I would appreciate to get your opinion on the stuff. You can send me an e-mail about that if you get a chance in-between all your other stuff next year or something. LoL
Some??? I see more than just some treasures. On closer inspection I can see that the majority of those goodies are Treasures!!!! You must have some very good friends Torsja!!!! Your going to be busy with this lot! Hobo Tim
A new 1x1meter ZMOD corner module is on its first stages. I'm not quit sure what it the layout and track will be yet, but I'm sure I will come up with something as soon as the base is ready. But I have some thoughts about a transition era with both diesel and steam.
Argh !!!! Where is the Needle Eye ?!?!? Good idea there Torsja. Always something new. And you can continue to work under it too. Space saver .
Some more work has bin done on the new module. And I'm currently trying out some track layout ideas. Allot off new buildings has to made and I started with one more today. It's gone be a combined depot and freight station. The original at Snelling in California on the Yosemite Valley RR. Not yet finished, just the first prototype test model is done. PS: The "NERR" is still at display at the LHS after the last ZMOD show in April Jeff.
On my small improvised Workbench Being away from home for long periods of time is painful when you can't do any hobbying at the Workbench. This time I purchased a small folding table, a chair and a bright lamp from Wal-Mart. I brought with me a variety of kits I have accumilated in the past few years. Since arriving here in New Orleans area I have built 4 of Robert Rays 73' Centerbeams, Miller Engineerings brass Gazebo, Arrowheads Convenience Store, and begun modifying a MTL Gunderson Husky into what will hopefully be a nice 48' All-Purpose Wellcar. All I need to do is etch a new well bottom, new walkways, and some trailer hitches. Their is a priZed scratchbuild I just finished constructing, but I can't quite say what it is as it might go further than just being a "Onesie" on my modules but mass produced. Please stay tuned as within a week of me returning home a test sample will air here on the Trainboard. I promise you will not be disappointed. Have a Great Day! Hobo Tim
Tim, might that be that American steamer you were working on? I figure if anyone would built steam right it would be you.
Nice module idea. Good idea on using the corner. I like that upper loop but put some of it in a tunnel ? Creates the illusion of a larger loop. .
I am working on my first photo etch building. Even though I made some mistake, but it doesnt look half bad.
