Wow. Those are awesome. I was forced to steal everyone of them. Somebody clearly has too much time on their hands and should probably be looking for a job.

It's already shut down New York. I've got the hatches battened down and the canned soup piled up in the cellar. I just dont' know where I'm going to put all the dancing girls for the night.

Some of it has to do with salability. Narrow-gauge railroad modeling is still rather erudite, and I'd venture to guess that most people model in HO. That being said, keep plugging away. Perhaps Model Railroad Craftsman would be a better venue for your genius.

Liquid nails is the thing, but EZ's right: it's unforgiving. Set the foam on the plywood and clamp the pieces together. Once it's dried, if you try blowing it up you get a bunch of pieces of foam stuck to plywood.

Umm.. I hate to be the guy that calls the emperor naked, but wouldn't it be easier to use an airplane?

I think it's time for a ball gag. :D

P.S., here's some Eire steam for your viewing pleasure...

The Erie railroads have been extensively researched and modeled. There's an abundance of information that you can glean from the internet. Start by going to the link I've provided at the end of this post. It will lead you to a number of other links that you may find very useful in your project...

WOW! That's some good old Yankee ingenuity, to be sure. Since you asked for suggestions on preserving the wood, I would recommend a polyurethane finish - the kind that is used to coat furniture after the stain has been applied. You can find it at any hardware store. The advantage to...

The 2-6-2 probably won't have any problems, but the 4-8-4 ??? I don't really know. Before you buy one, see if a dealer can put it on a tight turn for you in the store. That's a lot of money to spend on an engine you end up putting on the mantlepiece for decoration. I have a 19th-century RR...
