Winter is arriving and so is my fleet of HBM&S GE 70 ton locomotives.

just about done the decals so I can spray with dull coat.

Then to get the hand rails back on and custom pass through walkway on number 8. It will be the same as #7's walkway.

Will there be a 5,6 or 9?

Time will tell.

What I did for my fast clock, call it the easy cheap man way.  

I video record My clock for 12hrs. In post edit I speed it up to give me a 4:1 ratio at that point I exported the video footage to a thumb drive that plugged into my SONY BluRay player and piped the video signal out to little 5" backup car monitors placed on my layout I purchased from Amazon see link. http://amzn.to/2giIs04.  You can find cheaper ones too but I picked this model.

Hey everyone, been a while since my last post.... I imagine everyone is busy also. I wanted to ask the group for some Roofing suggestions on my AR Tower project. Shown are a molded shingle on the garage and the tower has add on paper shingles. What has the better look?

Thanks for the input....

The most recently completed helix on my layout was constructed as a "herniated" dodecagon.

My son had a school project on world religions to complete.  You could pretty much do anything on any religion, just be creative and make it applicable to some aspect of some religion.  He chose Shinto but didn't know what to do for it.  I suggested he do a diorama related to something in Shinto, possibly a shrine.  However, he didn't have enough time to build a significant structure (with the complex roofs and such of typical Japanese architecture), so he built a simple, natural shrine.
