Dolores Flour Mill completed - and dry transfer lettering

I completed the build of my Dolores flour mill, and added lettering using dry transfers (my first attempt with those).

Details and lots more photos here:

Christmas update, and prototype structure building

It's been forever, but I have finally updated my blog with a bunch of photos of recent structure work, and an operating session earlier this year.

I'll post a few of the photos in the first comment (below), but for details and lots more photos, go to my blog here:

Ballast experiments

There's no good conclusions or answers here, but if you'd like to see all the attempts I made in finding the 'right' ballast for my beat-up, run-down, never-had-funding-for-actual-ballast Rio Grande Southern trackwork, read on:

I hope to have a followup post with what I did decide to finally use.  Um, once I figure that out!

Operations - created an overview map & schematic

I'm getting ready to start some 'test' op sessions, and have been creating documentation to help guests quickly understand both the layout and the historical / prototype context I'm trying to recreate.

So, I created a few 'overview' sheets and posted them around the layout.  What do you think?

RgsRR.info - it's back!!

For anyone who's enjoyed the thousands of photo links, extensive RGS history and details, and links to related topics on my website - it's now back.
 

The old address of 'rgsrr.info' is working again, and a second URL actually works as well - http://www.rgsrr.com
 

Either will get you to the site.

If any of you were using, or have links on your sites to the old 'base' address of 'rgsrr.home.comcast.net' - please update it to 'rgsrr.info'.  Thanks!!!

RGSrr.info site moving - new URL soon!

Howdy.

I know a lot of you have found my RGS site useful.  Comcast has thoughtfully discontinued all of their website support, so I'm moving to a new server.
 

Eventually, both rgsrr.info and the (new!) rgsrr.com will work and get you to the site, but for the moment it seems the Comcast-hosted site is down.
 

I hope to have my site back up this week.

Thanks everyone!!!

Quincy and Torch Lake RR - remains

This isn't related to the RGS, but it's a cool narrow gauge railroad in Michigan copper mining country, and there's a lot of remains.  Photos and a few details in my blog:

And some stock cars...

And here's a few of about 15 Proto2k stock cars I built and modified to look kinda like D&RG or RGS cars (although these are std-guage)

Some structure work

It's been a while since I posted, but I have been busy, mostly at the workbench, and mostly w/ structures.  Here's some recent ones.
