Great scenes. Would love to see the trackplan as well.

Josh, thanks for the reply. I think this layout is not too simplistic that I will tire of it quickly, but also not too complex - as this will be my first try at benchwork, trackwork, scenery, etc. Russ - yes, I will be have access to both sides of layout. The only area that will be against...

When I looked at that picture of the west corner, all I could think of was Josh's (aka Trucklover) layouts, and thought that the dead space between the buildings and the track could be a great location for some trucks! What about modifying some of the windows on the building on the left...

Okay, here we go again. I posted some track plans waaayy back when (about a year ago), and have since been doing a lot more thinking than doing. Well, as the summer started waning in the Chicago area, my thoughts again returned to getting that model railroad empire going. I have attached my...

I think they look fine Josh, but heck, I thought all of your older pics looked just fine too! One suggestion would be to pull back a bit from the subject you are taking a picture of. Some of your close-ups look too...close. But something tells me you are shooting closer than normal...

Great pics. Like Josh, I really liked the gravel plant. I already built my Glacier Gravel plant, but I still haven't gotten the layout started. I love looking at pics like this becuase it helps generate more ideas about how to use structures on a layout.

Looks good Josh. :thumb:

I think Ebay as a company grew to a point where they had to increase fees and charges in order to stay profitable. But of course in doing so they are eroding the one thing which made them what they are - the customers who sell and buy on ebay. It is this kind of short-sightedness that will...

I hadn't seen anything on this thread in a while, and admit to wondering how things were. Thanks for updating us.

Congrats Trucklover. You are a fantastic modeler, and a great addition to The Gauge!

Congrats to you and your wife NKP. If this is your first, have fun with the life changing exercise that is child rearing. It's a lot of work, but for all the work you will put into it, you will get tenfold in return. :thumb:

looks like Sophie has some big paws! I love watching dogs grow into their paws, as their paws always seem akwardly large when they are puppies.

What a cool looking venue Russ!

I currently just have a bunch of ez track, so I voted other!

Welcome home Herc, and thank you for your service to our country. My one brother that is in an Illinois National Guard transportation unit may be getting activated for a second tour at some point in 2009 or early 2010. I'm hoping that things have settled down over there, and he doesn't have...

Wow, that is just unbelievable. I had no idea that such a powerful movement of electrons was occurring just from unrolling scotch tape!

Very nice work.

The website looks great Ron. Very professional! :thumb:

Man, I hope the surgeries go well. Will they do surgery on both wrists at the same time? That seems kinda tough recovery-wise. Regardless, I hope your rehab goes well. I've had to rehab my leg 4 times after 4 knee surgeries, and had to rehab my right arm after 4 elbow surgeries. I'm...

Another busy weekend for me. Taking my kids to an independent leauge baseball game Friday night (free fireworks after). Visiting my Mom (cutting down a tree) on Saturday. Sox/Cubs game Sunday afternoon/night. Might have some time Sunday morning to finish my Magic Pan Bakery. I'm about 75%...
