"Boulder Ridge" Free-moN Module WIP 02/24/15

Quick update.

First off, I recommend using a piece of plastic wrap between your clamp and whatever you are gluing down with Gorilla glue.

Works great. Once dried you can carve away the excess.

Winter Blahs

I was in Barrie on the weekend visiting the in-laws and as we drove over a BCRY crossing, I saw something troubling...the right of way was completely buried in pristine, untouched whiteness and the snowbanks lining either side of the crossing showed no signs of being disturbed.   My guess is that there has been no activity on the line for at least three weeks.

How many kinds of RS3ms are there?

Anyone know how many kinds of RS3ms there are/were? (Send in pictures of every last kind of RS3m you can find!!!) Also, how many are left, and where are they? Sadly Cape Cod Central scrapped 1201 roughly 2 months after I visited the cape for the first time. I took the train that year, and saw 1201 out the window. Then, about 3 years later, I saw this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=olZQ2gRjbl0

Modelling Coal Mines

One thing that I see rarely modelled that I think would be really interesting to model would be coal mines. I do not mean the movement of coal from the mine to other industries but what happens inside the mine like moving people and coal to and from the tipple you could even add a short main line for the main railroad to take coal to an offlayout industry if anyboady has ever done this I would love to see pictures so if possible please let me know and post some pictures thanks.

Another Day Another Entry

Well here I am again today talking about how tight knit the railroad comunity is I have noticed that they are always there for eachother and are willing to help. Recently someone even sent me a nice e-mail with and article and cardstock model something that would commonly not be done in other comunities. We as a group how now overall grown from before when we would only work with the people in our town and the conventions were much smaller so we really have come a long way.
