How about some prototype photos for inspiration and/or modeling ideas.

Southern Railway Eastbound coal train in December 1980. Train has descended the "Loops" and is about 4 miles from Old Fort. 

Observations from Natl Train Show. First, Orange County Conv Ctr is huge. Second OCCC is HUGE! We have been walking for a good 10 minutes and still haven't gotten into the show itself. Had to stop to take a rest. And there is a huge line to get in. Not what I accepted at all.

Hey everbody!

Last time I left you we made 12 feet of benchwork for my free mo yard but the Modutrak legs I decided to use didn't work too great.  Loads of people came to my aid and offered a bunch of great suggestions!  Thank you!  So I made a video demonstrating what methods I tried and what ones worked best. 

Take a look at this video talking about my legs...uh my Modutrak Legs.

While at the National Train Show today, I was talking to a woman about scratch building wooden structures. She said that she prefers scalples over xacto knives because they are sharper, stronger and can be sharpened. I thought I would try a couple. When I searched scalples in amazon.com I discovered that they also come in blade sizes similar to hobby knives. Does anyone know if a number 11 xacto blade and a number 11 scalple are basically the same?
