Single Stall Engine House Part 11
Been a while since I’ve had a chance to work on the Engine house. We had visitors for a few days then went out to California to visit family and the new grandson. They treated me to a visit to the California train museum. I'll post some pics of that soon, It was great. Then another round of visitors here. So busy time it was.
Crafting on the Cheap
I was browsing through my bookmarks today, as I was working on a layout project. Along the way, I found a reminder about why I craft.

Cornhill &Atherton – Mortimer: East of Matrimony Hill
After leaving the tunnel at the summit of Matrimony Hill, the C&A main heads east and passes through Mortimer. This is a small but moderately busy town which services passengers and general freight traffic for a few local industries. Fess Allman is the Station Master and he (like many of those employed by the C&A) is an unusual character. More on Fess and his curious staff at a later date…..
The Bridge to Somewhere....
Let's face it- we all like bridges. I would guess that most of us have at least one on our layouts.
I am not immune to this phenomenon, as I added a bridge to my layout last night: http://joshuadewolfe.wordpress.com/2014/08/03/the-bridge-to-somewhere/
Cleveland 2014 - Sunday, Day 3 of the NTS (Moloco
Okay, here are my photos from the last day of the NTS (I've still got more to add to some previous days, I think... possibly a couple missing layout tours).
This is going to be divided up into overhead show shots, product shots (I got the Moloco cars, reshot one of the C636's, took some additional detail shots of the SD40s, and demonstrate the existance of the next run of Atlas HO scale C32-8's), and then just some random show stuff... in at least one case, really random.
I still love my ALPS!
Usually when I am making decals, I use my ALPS for white only and use a super impressive laser 'press' for everything colour. This means using 2 layers of decal when white underlays are needed. There are a few reasons for this choice, not the least of which is that; unless you are using solid colours, the ALPS does crappy job of colour - the laser press however, is amazing.
