For those building HO scale blast furnace models, Alkem Scale Models now offers
a Goggle Valve detail kit. This laser cut multimedia kit is an HO scale model of
a 72 inch goggle vale. It is designed to fit the stock pipes of the Walthers HO
Scale Blast Furnace model. The detail kit provides all the parts to build a
detailed replica of these important components of a blast furnacel.

So I just got back from the Springfield MA train show - yup, it only closed a half hour ago, but we left closer to 2 pm, after a 9AM start.

The show seemed a bit smaller this year, but it's hard to say exactly why. At first attendance seemed down, most likely due to the 0 degree temperature, but the parking lot was very full when we departed (and the day had warmed up).

Not a lot happening lately on the railroad, but a few things. The picture below is the "after" shot of my ceiling repair from the water damage.  The dummy return air vent covers an opening in the drywall that I purposely left open for future leaks (an optimist?) Although my drywall mud work isn't very good, it will pass the casual glance test. Besides, who should be looking at the ceiling anyway..... look at the railroad!

I haven't posted anything here in while so I suppose it's time for an update.

Here is another pic of the team track, the freight cars are athearn blue box with grafitti and weathering by Josh

Here are a few pics of what my buddy josh and I have been working on.  Let us know what you think.  Suggestions are always welcome.  Thanks

Those of you following my work last year will note that I haven't gotten nearly as far as I had hoped.  The good news is I've had fun along the way, and tried some new things.

My Computer has 3 Hard drives in it Drive C 250 GB, Drive D 1Tera Byte & Drive E 260 GB used as Virtual Ram which allows My computer to Run at super High Speed.

Well My drive "C" was my Photo and book File and had all my model Railroading and MRH magazine files as well as My e-mail and everything that I had for Model Railroading.

I am new using this program. I am following what the command says to just drag and drop my cars onto the track layout, but this does not work. Can any one give me answer? Thank You
