A lot has happened over the last year, nearly all of which is what kept me away from the hobby and the forums. But now that things are beginning to gel, I have once again been able to give some attention to my all but forgotten layout and stop by the forums in which I used to be a regular - just...

I am grateful for you guys and your support. Thanks very much - it means a lot.

A couple months back I lost my job and all that entails. For a while, during my job searches, I worked hard on the layout and made some real nice progress, but since then the money has dried up and my outlook is quite grim. I've begun to notice I have NO interest in my trains AT ALL. I haven't...

:D :D !!!! ROTFLMAO !!!! :D :D GOOD ONE!!!

Thanks Robin... that's one good idea for the open space an for the water towers. I used one of my wife's travel posters, which is made out of thin cardboard. Chopped it up into the shapes I needed, flattened them out a bit more, spliced them together with Smooth It (spackle after that dried...

I'm REALLY liking your work!! If this is your first attempt you're off to a GRAND start. Question: How did you come up with the garden/field next to the barn? I've got to make one too and the rows look great.

And here's one of my favorite part - the crossings. MAN this was a pain in the pa-tooty!

As promised, here is one of the two road completion project status pics. An over all shot. (notice the bridge is down!)

Thanks again, Fellas. NOW - here are a few questions posed vis the attached picture. 1) How can I get some fake water into my water tanks on the roof? It seems like it should be simple, but I'm not getting it. 2) What would you suggest I put in the large, open area behind the packing...

and another...

and another....

Thanks guys... appreciate the support on the layout and the site itself. Tyson - still running HO Mason - that bridge has replaced the match-stick trestle (thanks for remembering) for two reasons. 1. the trestle is nearly 3" tall - too tall for the grade, and 2. it wasn't compatable with...

If you're so inclined, feel free to check out the latest progress via the pics found at this link: http://www.moctezuma-us.com/bonkyrail/layoutpics2.htm Not having a job sure frees up your time for layout work!

Last night I wrote LifeLike requesting information on the part I need. This morning I heard back - more specifically from Shawaunna in Customer Service. She's promised to send out p/n 584112 right away. That's truly good C.S., and is the 2nd time she has pulled me from the fire. Thanks to...

TA DAAAA!!! There you are, Marty! Oh boy.... the whole kit, eh? Well at least I have a part number and can send them a little note and ask how much. And YES - feel free to email me what you've got on this guy. I like it so much I may buy another - but not for a while. Thanks!!

Nope - never had it. It was a gift from a friend. No docs of any kind. Actually, I suddenly recall martyw having an E8 and that he gave me a part number for a fuel tank once. Marty! I can't email you! Save me again!

Driving the E8 'round the layout this morning and suddenly there was a grinding sound followed by it slowing to a crawl. Upon closer inspection I found part of the front drive shaft had snapped off and was laying there just spinning. I've included a picture for your viewing. Anyone got a part...

not even going to touch this one - way too flammable.

They had me up until I read someone insisting it had to be an "Atlas" car. From that moment on I realized it could have been more of a publicity stunt than a sharing or bonding experience between modelers. Perhaps I'm a sceptic, but these days anyone will do anything for money and that's...

I've already been blasting this FINE method all over - even those non-Gauger's should get a look at this. I simply love the results.
