Yup, as MC-130 support planes working as a team with MH-53 Pave Low IIIs (and other helis as well, maybe), as Coast Guard and airborne firefighting planes, and there are some AC-130s, as well. Off to find out who makes 1:144 scale transports, helis, and bombers... Don't forget, this is now...

Jetrock: I've got a 1/144 scale F-16XL built, and an F-35 JSF still in the box, and I'd planned on using those on a layout (not sure how, but I'd planned on it ;) ) Shortliner: thanks yet again for all the info! Actually, I'm now thinking that making this idea my full-sized layout would be...

Shortliner: That's a great thread, I've read the original and gotten 2/3 of the way though the newer one (the one you directly linked to). It's a great resourse, thanks! Sunburn: I have both of the articles about that layout (the Big Desils in the Desert one, and the scenery how-to one), and...

Thanks! I'll look at that thread... What railroad would serve... Nellis? Fallon? Any other bases in that area, both Navy and Air Foce Thanks again, Jake

Cool, thanks. Actually, Arizona is rather covered with greenery, with many types of cacti, and trees as well (probably not natural... but we had a rather well-covered area in our backyard, when we lived there), with most of the rest covered in smaller bushes... At least, in the central part...

Sorry--I thought I'd said that :oops: It's the Mojave Desert area, which is where I read about most with experimental military planes (which I like more than most in-production ones, along with the newer in-production ones (B-1Bs, F/A-22s, F-35s, etc)) Well, I'm figuring that I'll just...

trackplan descriptions... well... I've got a trackplan made, and the screenshot sized for posting... but the browser won't let me attach it (either not letting me click on the "attach" image in Safari (closer to Firefox than IE), or showing a pull-down menu in IE). Basically, it's a simple...

I'm just finishing the reapinting of my bedroom (and I'm getting a new desk in there, later to be turned into a train table), and I want to get to building a layout before I'd be able to start on my full-sized one (I need that table to build my R/C plane on ;) ), so I decided to build a shelf...

Model/high power rocketry (I'm going to certify for high power at the next big launch I can get to--only done up to a G40 so far) I just started on a Great Planes PT-40 that's going to be converted to electric (it's designed for a .40-.50 sized gas engine--insanely huge, for those of you who...

I like hoppers too... and they do belong with CSX and NS ;)

On The Rocketry Forum it was like... 3k posts :eek: here... lost

I am going to build a good sized N scale layout, based on the Carolina Central from a semi-recent (March-ish of 2005) special edition of MR. It'll have that as it's core, but also have a Norfolk Southern interchange and trackage surronding it with a pair of legs leading to loops at the end. It...

Ben (UP) sent me his pics, so I'll try... doesn't look too bad at the moment :thumb: see here: http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/jakealex2010/album?.dir=/mail

I am going to make a bunch of 13 mm Stonebreaker/AXs (from Apogee Comonents' E-Zine newsletter #75 [http://www.apogeerockets.com/education/downloads/newsletter75.pdf]) and put them on a small, removeable area of my layout so that I can mount on a tripod (like the Estes Porta-Pad) and fly them...

Models I have a couple of Atlas HO scale models, as I thought I modeling HO and bought them, but I switched to N the next day... I built them and weathered them (Test subjects), though the weathering is a bit heavy, you could use them. This project is agood idea... I wish my school had a RR...
