Just wondering if there is a list of the header photos and who they belong to somewhere.  I recognize a couple of them and I noticed another topic started about the celophane water and ship, but I wondered if there is credits somewhere for the others.  One particular one I'm wondering about is the Moose Lake, SK grain elevator with the CP tube train.

Good question!

Let me see if I can put a list together of credits for the header photos ...

That grain elevator photo

That grain elevator photo with a CP train of grain hoppers is by Bernie Kempinski ('bkempins'); I believe it's N scale

Moose lake

 Yes, that shot was taken on my Moose Lake oNeTRAK module. Is is 14 feet long and about 19 inches wide. It depicts a scene on the CP in Saskatchewan, CA.  It was featured in MRP a few years back.

I am looking to get dispose of the module since I need to make some room in my module storage area. If anyone is interested let me know. It is located in Alexandria, VA.

I'd be very interested,

I'd be very interested, Bernard, I just don't think the shipping would be that practical.  I live in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan and part of my plan includes a scene very much like that one with the CP and the grain cars.  It is an excellent depiction of this part of the world.

Saskatoon

That was the area I was trying to simulate, so I am glad you find it resembles it.  That module was my experiment in trying to model the plains on a narrow shelf. I liked it so much, I even toyed around with continuing the theme in my home layout.  The Soo/CP line in North Dakota- Saskatchewan interests me. I've never been to Saskatchewan, but did make a road trip to South Dakota once many years back.

As to shipping the module, it is very light. I can pick up and press each module with one hand. However, they are bulky.  I have no idea what it would take to ship them. If you are in the area, stop by and pick them up, You can have them,  no charge!

The wheels are spinning...

How could I possibly get down to Virginia and back without my wife noticing?

I've been wondering who's

I've been wondering who's models they were too. I can identify Joe and Ken's, as I've seen many photos of their layouts, the rest have me at a loss!

Details, details

That would be tricky. I really want to get these out of here. It would be a shame to send them to the dumpster.

What are the sizes?

Bernie, I'm just wondering what the sizes are of the modules.  Its probably not realistic to ship them this far, but I have to look into it.  It would really be a shame to throw them out.

Module sizes

The modules are 19 inches by 7 feet. There are two plywood endplates that bolt on the ends. When secured in the end plates, the two modules face each other, scenery side facing in. The whole "coffin" is about 2 by 1.5 by 7 feet long. I am note sure what the whole package weights, I'd guess about 20 pounds.  To ship I imagine they would have to be crated up. There are also three sets of legs, but they don't have to be shipped as making new ones is not a big deal.

I stripped off most of the buildings to use on other projects. But all the scenery, track, wiring, trees (what few there are) is still left.  The wheat fields are the primary scenic element.
