Some weeks ago a picture was shown here ...

... a really impressive and heavy load!

It was a very fascinating load for me and so I hoped to find solutions for all needed things and techniques for modeling, load including car.

I have been toying with the idea of converting portions of my layout to include "static grass." Pros and cons using it? Do I have to scrape off the old surface (combination of Woodland Scenics and tinted sawdust) to make it work? Can I use a spray of diluted glue to lay down the "grass?"

Would appreciate hearing your points of viw. Thanks.

I have been working building, backdrop and road

  Well here we are in 2015 and I STILL haven't gotten the Coldstor module rebuilt, my supertrees finished, or a whole host of other projects completed.  I am not a fan of making resolutions, because life just throws too many curves at you.  My focus for the month will be to get my curved passing track module set "presentable" for the Great Train Expo on Jan. 24th.  The biggest challenge will be getting the siding I want to add built and installed AND still be able to get some basic scenery over the whole thing.

  Just a quick update and thanks to two member of this Blog, Geoff Bunza and David Bodnar both have posting that help me get this project done. It took me 4 weeks to finish this project the two decoders that I built and program work perfectly.

It's been a long time since I started this project, and a long time since I've posted an update. Turns out I don't have as much free time to devote to model railroading as I wish I did, LOL!

I was in the train room today doing some work and decided I needed to take some photos and post an update. More on that in a moment, but first, here are the links to the previous blog entries for reference:

No, not that kind. I'm a mac user. I mean windows in model buildings. I find them intimidating, especially the kind where you have to install upper and lower frames inside an outer frame. So much opportunity for my shaky hands to wreak havoc. Here's what prompted the thread:
