February 17th, 2011 we will be moving into our new location in Bloomington, Mn.

The new headquarters will have a crew lounge for watching DVD's & videos, workshop area for individuals to work on their projects, car and locomotive maintainence bench, and 25x17 layout room with air conditioning and heat :))  lighting in the ceiling and the walls have already been painted. The floor has been painted a medium gray too.  

First things First;

I recently purchased Joe's DVD series.  In part 2 of the scenery DVD he mentions purchasing larger more economical sizes of foam products.  I currently use Woodland Scenics 3 quart size of light green and medium clump foliage.  What is the equivalent product number for Scenic Express or other brands?

Thanks for your help.

Hi Jack from Star, Idaho, I have completed quite a large trestle project and I am about done with the scenery.  The trestle is seven feet six inches long (652 scale feet) and supports three main lines.  By the time I was finished I had over 3200 pieces installed.  The trestle has minature red led air craft marker lights (nine per side) and lighting shinning down on the rail line below it.  The trestle stands about 80-85 scale feet high.  I have added a lot of detail to include cat walks and railing on both sides, workers on the bridge and signallin

O.K. I don't usually particisipate in these things, but in my quest to find the best item at the least expensive price I ran across this company in the U.K.  This probably isn't going to qualify for cost effective in any shape or form, but the examples I saw on their site were akin to small sculptures. They only seem to manufacture on order after a 25% down payment is made. I didn't see any price listing, so I'm sure it's going to run kinda high. If anyone has done business with this company please e-mail me with info that I couldn't find out on site.
