You know I was thinking it would make a great Halloween set up myself but was afraid to say it see this great artist is new here and by the way welcome and please come back you do great work and we can learn from you as we do others. we do like all scales here just when someone ask about a scale like HO ( tech question we might suggest they goto the model rail road side to find out as there more into ho and n scale over there on tech questions but they also seem to welcome all scales as I use to hang out there myself for a while

Welcome, now please don't take this as a slam but those would go great on the halloween layout we set-up in the garage every year. Just add in some tombstones and a few questionable looking figures and critters. Gives one a little more incentive to do some weeding.
tracymckibben A day late to the party, I hope that's OK... My first-ever attempt at using plant roots for trees. The intent is to portray a late fall/early winter day in northern Minnesota, with bare trees and gray skies.

lionroar88 Nice! To be honest when I read your comment about 'weeds I pulled from the garden today' the first thing that popped into my mind was... 'Honey come check this out!'... 'Nice dear. Where did you find these?'... 'They are weeds from the garden.'... 'That's good, you made yourself useful.' --- 2 Hours Later---From somewhere outside... 'WHAT HAPPENED TO MY ROSE BUSHES????????'

you need to go get on the ladder and have the circler saw in one hand and drill in the other
balidas Yes by all means. This looks so good. I would be interested in hearing more of this.

Well, in that case... This is the first bit of landscaping on my HO scale switching layout, representing a fictional subdivision of the DM&IR. If you want read all of the gory details, go to http://dmirhillcitysub.blogspot.com/
Oh no need to appologize! We love all trains here! We have guys that do hi-rail modeling, and layouts with no scenery, and everywhere in between! We enjoy seeing what ideas others come up with to solve their modelling dilemmas. So please, by all means, continue to post and share!
Thank you for the welcome, and I think I have to apologize - I realized after I posted this photo that this is a Classic Toy Trains forum, not a general model railroading forum. I won't repeat that mistake.
I have no idea what kind of plants these were, just assorted weeds that I pulled from my yard yesterday. Washed them off, then baked in the oven for a few minutes to dry them.
I know that store, been there many times. He has the cheapest prices of the other 3 local stores. Although his was not the store where I saw the set at. He is a good guy.
lionroar88 Balidas - sorry missed your post earlier. I actually found these at a store in FL. I found them through a web search, emailed the store, received a response, called later that afternoon to order. They arrived a few days later (fella told me they would be shipping on Wednesday), really happy with the store! Oh heck... it was Discount Trains. Rick was a pleasure to do business with! Very open and honest, great communication. Since I hadn't done business with them before I was hesitant to post about them till they arrived and I could see them in person and get them on the layout to see how they run.

To the forum, and thank you for sharing. They look very convincing, the really small roots look like vines growing on the trees, which is very common in PA and MD. What plant roots did you use?
Doug completely understand did it once never again since just seems I must be forgetting something lol
Got to love the tinplate. I've sure spent a lot of time trying to figure out how to post photos from shutterfly. SpCan Updated : 2/11/ 1997Last Updated : 2/11/ 1997

Hope it works.

I'd be running them now, but I have decided to redo the upper level on the layout and that is going to take a bit of time and work. I have the extension built and the lower level rerouted. Now have to build the new upper level on the extension, then remove the rest of the track from the section of the upper level that needs to be moved... hope to work on that over the next few weeks...
Battleships and Trains on the same forum, what could be better !!
easiest way is to open two windows so you can go back and forth open on to here in the reply mode the other in photobucket with the pic you want to post then roll over the pic you want with your mouse you will see a drop down box click the second one down and then come back to ctt post page and click on the window with a world in bottom right corner emblem and it will open to a new window post what you copied in the box there and
click insert and the pic will apear as this one above did
coaldust2026Hi. Does anyone post photos from photobucket? If so, can you please explain how it is done? Thanks for your help.

as usual Great pics all
Great photos everyone. Thanks for posting.
That is a great piece of history Seayakbill. There is a show that runs on PBS called History Detective. Your flag would make a great item for them to do a historical search.
Every SPF should have a representation of PreWar tinplate. Here is my offering for this week.

Great photos guys !
Photos from our April Fools Day friday run.
Been very warm in Sandy Eggo of late
But the trains ran anyway, although it was difficult keeping them running forward.
Here is another layout that I visited this week. It has 5 mainlines on it and allot of action.
And now for some action with 2 videos

So, the signatures are the GIs that captured that position? Cool artifact.
No, I have been told that the signatures on the flag are the Japanese officers, never had it analyzed so don't know if that is correct.
