Hi All,

Latest video update from the JL&T...

Jas...

Here is the progress on my friend Jerry's O scale 2 Rail layout. Last night I laid the water on the pier/barge docking area while he was installing a sound decoder in my "Little Joe" Dockside.

The barge and the tower are all scratchbuilt by Jerry.

Here is a different view of the waterfront

Due to family and work commitments reaching their peak in the christmas period not alot has happened on the railroad. I have however managed to kitbash my locomotive servicing structure.

I am looking for someone that does custom painting and has a reputation for doing an excellent job.  I have many engines in HO scale that I want to get painted in the Frisco black and yellow paint scheme and the orange and while paint scheme depending upon the model.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

I have filled half of my layout room now. 31 shop lights are up and running. Two of the four peninsulas have been constructed.

I'm glad that I could keep my aisle width at a 40' minimum, it makes walking around so much easier.

I started my layout about a year ago, and it has now reached the stage where I feel I can start sharing a little ;-)

I made a free website at wix.com that shows a bit of an overview of the layout. http://www.wix.com/kengoudsward/gwtp

And just now decided that I'll do a bit of blogging as I go. Projects underway at the moment:

- custom paintjobs, decals and weathering for a few locos

With inspiration from another newbie who posted today, I decided to start a blog regarding a recent modeling project in my office.   I am a CPA, it's already the crazy tax season, and over the last year or so, I began this layout. 

Hi Joe,

A while back now, I've purchased the downloadable series of your scenery build series, based on Ten mile Creek. 

One of the subjects I was interested in watching was how you construct the trestle. I've also got the plans and found several of the dimensions on it. I also heard you mention several of the dimensions in the video. 

However, I can't seem to find some of these in the catalog of Evergreen, particularly the larger sizes. Have they stopped making them, or am I making a mistake? 

This post may seem basic by many modeler, but I wanted to share the process I have for installing my fascia mounted turnout control panels.  This is just one of may methods that could be used and I use this method because 1.) I don't know any better; and 2.) It works.
