weekend fun photo 10/18-2013

Hole filling. I'm in no hurry really..

Well, I've sat and looked at the various holes on my small pike and would try fitting existing structures here and there with limited success. So a scan through the online pic of kits was in order.. Well, I'm going to have to spend some money on this one..
I love the timber craftsman kits but this area in question is the rear side of the city, so 99% brick and concrete/cement. I have some Monster Model Works laser sheeting but I'd need to spend a lot more than I can for the size of the structures I need to justify even one box car against it.

1:43 Ambulance Model

During the warm summer months, I've been amiss with keeping up with my Model Railroading hobby. But, with the beautiful weather we've had this year, I'm sure most will understand my choosing to be outside.

It's the return of the NJ Layout Design/Operations Sig and RPM meet, Nov 2nd & 3rd, 2013 in Scotch Plains, NJ!

After an absence of 6 years the meet is back, bigger and better than ever!

Free_Mo_N in Chehalis

   Man, how time flies!  I have been busy over the summer with the shelf layout contest build, and haven't really done much with the FreeMo modules.  We had our setup at the Lewis County Train Show and Swap Meet this past weekend.  This was our first public setup and it was a LOT of fun and generated quite a bit of interest from the people coming in to see the trains.  We were allotted a 10' x 25' area to set up in.  It was a bit cramped for the assortment of modules we had attending, but I think we made good use of the space.

Inspiration, introduction & monday night mail train

For any one interested in reading my little news letter "The Monday Night Mail Train" it should be attached to this post for a short while. 

splitrock323's comment on my last post has inspired me to try to share information about my layout and its operating system.

Firstly I am a 69 year old retired ice manufacturer and live in South Australia with my wife and two Jack Russel terriers. We have two grown children and two grandsons.

ATSF Paradigm Division is born

Earlier this year after I finished the second spline helix, I began to re-look the design of my new layout. The new layout would be the replacement for the dismantled ATSF Fillmore Division which had been built in a large room in my house before family members moved back thus requiring the reallocation of the room back to living space. The previous layout was a modified N-scale version of Bruce Chubb's original Sunset Valley RR.

Richlawn RR V2 - Rolling Work Desk Recycle

As I start to get serious about constructing the railroad it became painfully apparent that I needed a work surface other than my benchwork top.  I've been constantly moving things around on the top of the benchwork and everything is always in the wrong place and always needed to be moved.  I had a nice 30" x 6' work table for my previous layout and certainly don't have the room for it in my 10' x 12' layout room / office.
