Another project in the wings. This is an old Display Craft wood craftsman kit. I've assembled the main body & metal detail parts for the most part.The wood body has been coated with two layers of Minwax sanding sealer to conceal the wood grain.

Copper Range coach #60 is nearing completion. The prototype is is housed a the Mid-Continent Railway Musuem, and is in fully operable condition! http://www.mcrwy.com/collectn/woodpas/cr60m.jpg

The Nice and Easy Between a Rock and a Hard Place

The First Apartment Layout

The First layout started so simple I could have laughed if I saw what it would become.

The original plan started as a 2’x4’ shelf module with three tracks at a base level, two tracks at a higher level, and then two more tracks on a third level.  Naturally, I then decided I wanted to connect the three levels together!!  Thus, I built the benchwork over my bed, a large 4’x7’, and then imagined up a mammoth of plans, by all means.

Hello guys, Here is a little update on the progress of my layout. I first started a trend on suggestions on modeling rocks. I took your guys suggestion and ran with it. I think the out come was pretty good. I'm pleased with it. Here is a few pictures of the layout. I like to hear your guys input. Thanks

last day was my 20th birthday. i got a ton of train stuff for a N scale train table i am making. here is an older picture that i have from that table. it is a 2ft by 4ft... but i will be taking a newer picture in a week or so

While waiting for some glue to dry I dediced to watch Operations Video #4. It was interesting though I think the video could have used a hard copy map of the layout so that one could follow along what was being done. In any case I learned a bit more about operations. I got to see what happens when the dispatcher doesn't consider what could happen in the future. I also got to see how the problem was solved which I thaught was quite innovative.

Okay, I've uploaded all three days worth of my Hartford photos.
