Jasper CNR
I'm planning to be in Jasper Alberta very briefly next weekend (arrive 1600 Saturday on Via No2, leave 1430 Sunday for Vancouver on No 1). Anyone know of any interesting railfan sites within walking distance of the station?

Building a GE 85 ton steeple cab: available for printing.
The 85 ton is available for printing through Shapeways. It is amazing to see what others are designing from Z, N, TT, HO, S, O and possibly other scales. I am off for a visit with family in southern Manitoba so won't be working on any of my projects for awhile. Hopefully I can pick up some items I need and maybe my back ordered pantographs will get shipped by then.
Until later.

Missing the weekend pictures!!
Joe, I understand the need to close a thread due to anything you do not wish on your forum. However, the weekend photo fun thread by Driline each week helps keep my sanity since I have had to temporarily move to Las Vegas and can't work on my railroad. I so look forward to seeing everyone's fantastic work. Could you have just eliminated the poor content and allowed this great weekly thread to survive?
Thank you so much for listening...
Cadillac Motors plant
This is a view of the Cadillac Motors plant from the railroad spurs that served it. Looks like an ideal background structure:

Introduction & my TT-scale models
Let me introduce myself.
I am Russian, but I am interested in American railroads and America of the 1950s at all. I collect railroad models in TT scale (1:120). I know that it is not too popular in the USA, but nevertheless there are some TT-scale modellers.
BTW, TT scale was invented in the USA in the 1940s! And today it is quite popular in Russia and some other European countries - Germany, Czechia, Poland, Ukraine, Estonia etc. In Russia TT is more popular than N.

Small Battery Powered Drill Motor
A while back someone had shown and talked about a small battery powered drill motor. Can anyone out there remember what brand is was and where a person might be able get one?

Links in Magazine work just like MRH, PC, and IPad fine, if you use android table that downloads to My Library and places in Books you will have to cut and paste links into browser.
CSX Big Flat Subdivision
I have lived in the Gettysburg, PA area all my life, so my modeling preferences follow as so. Growing up, we lived about 300 yards from the Chessie System (former Western Maryland Dutch Line). I had a large rock, about the size of a small sedan, I would race to when I heard a train approach. Traffic along the line is numerous boxcars and covered hoppers with a few tankers and centerbeam cars thrown in as well. The line also has 3 interchanges, one at Highfield (Maryland Midland), Gettysburg (Gettysburg Railroad), and a third at Porters Siding (YorkRail).
i think i have a problem
i think i have a problem. i really like the BIG mountain scenery. i really enjoy seeing model trains snaking around large mountains and across large bridges. but my problem is that i cant seem to find much on the internet. ive seen a few great photos, like those of earl smallshaw (google him, great web page) and w.l. rogers' southern pacific's cascade line. but, there just doesnt seem to be that much out there. i like these for inspiration, im planning something similar for my modeling.
