The wheels were in motion now and all three sections of my seventh grade math classes were hard at work on their respective components of the benchwork. In addition to the attention that they gave to their own parts of the project they were of course very interested in what the other sections were doing. Since everything took place in the same room it was natural for them to examine each other’s works in progress and think about how the various parts would come together. A very stimulating balance of mild competition and collaborating towards a common goal emerged.

A question of height.

A little background. 

Currently I have a good size HO modern era collection and some modern era 2 rail O scale. In the not so distant future, I will be able to expand my layout from a 9' X 11' room in an apartment to a good size space (19' X 16') in a basement.

I had a lot of discussions on the forums regarding my N Scale iteration of the S&NE. I got quite heavily into branding of my locos etc. However, due to a move, I lost that one. With limited space, I got into UK Narrow Gauge 009. I found that fun but as "everything" had to be scratch built, pretty much, and most of the kits were short run stuff that needed a lot of work to get together, I dropped it. Now the room has been freed up completely and I have 12' x 8' 6", I can get an HO railroad running again.

Hi everyone , Bill Brillinger introduced me to MRH.This post is to showcase some of his decals that I had made by him. My Dad drove for a few companies in the 70's and 80's when he was laid off from his real truckin job. One of those companies was Trans Canada Truck Lines out of Toronto Ontario. I had always wanted to model some of the trucks he drove but finding someone to replicate decals was a real challenge. I was told on a Facebook modeling page about Bill and I contacted him.
