Testing...testing....
First post, just to see if anyone actually reads this....
OK, some content just so I don't look like a pathetic attention-seeker. Here's a Mail Pouch barn we found down a rural highway in eastern Kentucky, back in August:
A little Googling informs me that there are still quite a few of these around -- but not in my part of the world (southern Ontario) and this is the first one I've seen in the wild (as opposed to pictures of a model on someone's layout).
Capturing That Expensive Scenery Turf/Grass
I have discovered on my first table that 1.) scenery turf and grass is expensive, 2.) it looks the best when applied quite liberally, and 3.) this liberal application is difficult to recapture for reuse.

Latest on the Wharf
Hi Everyone,
I've been on the back burner for a while. I've been reading your post and staying busy building my wharf on my On30/O scale 2 Rail small layout. Here are some photos of the latest accomplishments. This is a point to point layout. The wharf is the starting point. The ships arrived with different loads and from there it goes to the city. My layout only covers a city. The whole layout is based on a fictitious city in the Northeast. The railroad serves the city.
C&O Carfloat & tug boat drawings
I am building an N scale layout for a friend based on the C&O Brooke Avenue Yard in Norfolk, VA and I really need a copy of the drawings & photos of the Chessie carfloat and tugs that were published in the 1999 Mainline Modeler. Do any of you have said drawings? Would you be willing to burn me a copy? I am willing to pay a reasonable price if necessary. You can reply to this blog or e-mail me at g.spag@juno.com. Please leave me a good contact phone number and I'll call you. Thanks, Glen
