    Cement Plant Project

    This is an old topic about construction of a cement plant from another forum thread, but it is very suitable for placement here. (IMHO) It will also increase its visibility. http://www.zealot.com/forum/showthread.php?p=876821#post876821

    Oregon Western Lines Layout

    I have put an album together on Trainboard which shows the former Canyon Mt. N-gineers club's modular layout--the Oregon Western Lines as it was displayed during the last open house. If you are interested, just start on the first picture and progress through the album. The comments that I have...

    What's Wrong With This Picture????

    Yes, I really want to know if you can spot anything wrong with the modeling in this picture. (Not the picture on the wall in the background.) Confine you comments to the module and the models themselves. There should be plenty of things to find wrong...so let the "fun" begin. This is a test...

    Need Help! Missing Directions to Suydam Endine House, Kit #9

    I have an old Suydam Engine House (Kit #9) in corrugated metal for which I am in need of construction directions. Has anyone ever put one of these together? Maybe someone once built this kit, and still has the directions that they no longer need. Or, does anyone have one of these kits with...

    Canyon Mtn. N-gineers Modular Layout

    The Canyon Mountain N-gineers set up their N-scale modular layout at the Great Eastern Oregon Train Festival held recently in John Day, Oregon. It was the first thing we set up and the last thing that we took down! After everything else was done we had a few hours of operating before tearing...

    Race Track Module

    One member of our modular group made this race track. I think it is worth sharing. I hope that I got the correct files. :D

    Johnny Lightning Monopoly Tokens

    Here are some pictures that I've taken of some of the Monopoly tokens that I have painted for my layout. I think that they have added some nice variety which we can always use.

    Micro-Machines That Work for Me!

    I have been posting pictures in various threads about the use of Micro-Machine vehicles that I have found to be satisfactory for use with N-scale. I'll post some of them here in one place for you to evaluate. Most of the Micro-Machine products are far from perfect, but a few of them I feel are...

    Rest Area Module?

    These are some pictures of a module I have been building that was first of all going to be a Boy Scout Camp; then it was looking more like a state park; and, now, it is looking more and more like a roadside rest area. The first and second pictures show the maintanence crew picking up the...

    Cement Plant Module

    I have begun work on a module which was to include a model of the Ash Grove Cement plant at Nelson, Oregon. I'm not much of a scratch builder, so the project was not likely to be very prototypical in the first place. But to make things worse, these modules were supposed to be completed in time...

    Boy Scout Module Project

    This module project started out to be my son's module. It was started for the purpose of helping him get his Boy Scout railroading merit badge, but once he met his merit badge requirements most of the work ended up being mine. Work has progressed enough that I can post some pictures. This...

    G. E. O. Trainfest 2004

    Okay, Forumites, (I hope I'm not breaking any forum rules)-- here goes.... After a lot of time spent threatening to do something (In an earlier thread I suggested I wanted to make our small town a "Mecca" for model railroaders), the Canyon Mountain N-Gineers have decided to do something...

    Christmas Crisis?

    I took this picture while making my rounds in my UPS truck. I even stopped and turned around to see if I could help, but it was already too late. :eek:

    N-Scale Houses Upgraded

    Some pictures of some of the crumby houses offered in N-scale by Model Power and Bachman that can be impoved greatly just by giving them a decent paint job. First a subdivision of Model Power houses.

    I Refuse to be Intimidated!

    A guy has to start somewhere...so I did. I bought some of these car repair shop (Bachmann) kits for cheap. Now, I'm trying to come up with a use for them.

    Canyon Mtn N-gineers Layout

    I decided to begin another thread about the Canyon Mtn N-gineers' Layout. Other threads (see below) have talked about certain aspects of the layout, but I think it will be better to have all the updates and pictures in one thread. I also have a website, but it is too difficult to navigate the...

    Oregon & Northwestern Railroad in a DQ

    I decided to post the progress of this layout in another thread since there is almost enough done to begin railfanning. :D This is an N-scale layout that is planned to be displayed in a Dairy Queen in John Day, Oregon, once it is completed. It is a feeble attempt to represent the Oregon &...

    Northwest Modeling Mecca??

    I live in a small community that has been dependent upon the timber industry throughout history, but the economy has been devastated by the virtual shutdown of the industry. About the only thing that the area's political leaders can come up with to boost the economy is tourism. Recently, a...

    Junk Yard Pictures...Trackside!

    A comment make by a fellow Gauge member about my photo contest entry got me to thinking about posting some pictures of my trackside junk yard. These weren't good enough for the contest, but someone may find them interesting. This junk yard is full of "bugs." :p :D :D
