BQR Implementation Update -- State of the Railway

Wed, 2014-02-26 12:49 — GLatiak

Layout Overview

Still under construction but close to power-up. Track changes have been complete. This view shows the dual helix -- an inner spiral from the Deseronto yard up. And a second outer helix that spirals down and then across the layout midway to connect to the train elevator on the wall. This view also shows the modular grid construction of the benchwork and the turnaround loop inside the helix.

Message from Stein JR's widow

Mon, 2014-02-17 08:15 — numbersmgr

Hi all

Yesterday, out of the blue, I received an email from Stein Rypern's widow.   At her suggestion I have reposted it here.  Unfortunately, Stein is not with us anymore.   I thought how timely it fit in with my post from Friday about not waiting to model (http://model-railroad-hobbyist.com/node/16948) or to anything for that matter.  In the LORD'S universe there are no coincidences.

Again, reposting with Lora's  permission:

LOGOs Heralds - share yours?

Share your "homemade" logo or herald. 

Looking for inspiration; whether yours is freelance, proto-freelance, alterations for "what-if" logos and heralds.

Please let us know what era and inspiration or story behind your RR.

I am working on a Rock Island / Conrail "what if". I have done a KCN (Kansas City Southern & Chicago Great Western merger) what if.  Pix to follow,

 

 

Don't wait til you can do it right

Hi All

I've been on this forum for over 3-1/2 years and have learned a lot, but have almost no models to show for it because my goal was to do everything right the first time.  No layout, no models, nothing.  Because I thought my efforts wouldn't be good enough I kept waiting till I learned more.

Why the whining!

Updating My layout one spike at a time.

Sat, 2014-02-08 20:42 — tschwartz

While I am not hand laying any rail, I am laying down track and one spike at a time seemed appropriate.

If you have been following my blogging you will know that after building my GE 85 ton steeple cabs, I need something for them to do. So I built a mine. Then I needed some place for them to take the rock, and well I didn't have any place.
