Walthers Turntable
Looking for help in setting the Walters 90' turntable back to factory defaults. In other words getting rid of the programmed stops that I have in it presently

Evolution of a River
I posted this also.
I have been working recently on the "Oneapee River" crossing on my Diamond River Valley Railroad. Please enjoy the pictures. while I am only using a simple point and shoot for these pictures I hope to be able to take some nicer shots once the scenery is more or less complete.
The first shot is that of the blue foam being roughed in.


Start of some scenery
It's been a while since I posted any pictures so I thought that I would post a couple of some recent scenery addition. These are a couple of shots of the early scenery progress in the town of Brookside.

Flooring
So I have decided to add a floor to part of my layout that is giving me (well actually others that are vertically challenged) some issues during operating sessions. My questions is quite simple and maybe some of you out there that have the "mushrooms' growing in the basement could chime in. I want to know what is the best way to build a floor on existing concrete. I only need 10" in elevation to make everyone happy but I have to run the flooring around the end of one peninsula for a total run of approx 35'
Thank you
Neil

This is a close call
Thought that I would pass this along to the group as a whole. A friend sent this to me this morning; see the email from the engineer of the train.

Don't cross when the train is coming!!
This happened today in acworth GA. a small town just outside the Atlanta Metro area. Amaizing video caught as it happened. Gotta love these new cell phones, they are everywhere. Follow the link there are two videos there; one from before and one from ater the devastation.

One quicky
This was a 99% finished scene from my last incarnation of the Diamond River Valley Railway. I titled the shot "around the bend" It is a Santa Fe RS1 returning light from a transfer run.

The Diamond River Valley Railway Co.
The Diamond River Valley Railway Co. founded in 1964 as a subsiduary of the Santa Fe Railway Co exists to serve the trackage that was demoted to branch line status after the Santa Fe completed the Holliday Tunnel. The tunnel was built to assist the railroad with navigation through the mountains and to speed up its service between the east coast and the Midwest.
