Nice pics Tom. I really like your boat.
Here are a few pics of my place from last month's club meeting -
April Meeting at Marge and Brian Donovan's

Tom,
Great work! What is the grade on that run going up to the top of the mountain? It really looks steep in the pictures. I liked the victorian buildings. Where did you get those or did you build them?
Rex
Nice Pictures!
I like the Garden RR within a Garden RR picture "Douglas Flatbottom shows friends and nieghbors his garden railroad" what is that N scale?
Very nice guys!
Triggy, just one thing (1) how did Vic get his name on the house
Toad
Rex: The grade on the way up to the top of the falls is about 22.5%, the tricky part of that route is the double tight "S" curve. Three-foot Diameter, Yes you read that correctly 3' Dia. The only equipment I have that can make the climb is a streetcar and a handcar. I know full well that I have sentenced the streetcar to an early death, but that is what SWMBO and I wanted. The house is a 1:18 dollhouse I made for my daughter, 19 years ago. It only goes out on special occasion.
Mr. Ash: That would be Z scale.
Toad: Sometime back Vic had a pic of the Mt Lowe tram as part of his sig block. Since my wife is from Sierra Madre, she immediately took a liking to him. She asked him a question and when she got his answer back she immediately said I had to name something after him. I do not recall what the question was, but since this was my feeble attempt to produce a facsimile of the Mt. Lowe line, naming the chalet after a fellow admirer of the Mt Lowe system seemed appropriate.
I think it was this one, Mt Lowe is near where I live.

Here's another little Mt Lowe tidbit I found on Youtube, all thats left today is the now fireroad ROW and a few ruins. Road this on a MTB up to the Alpine Tavern ruins when I was a younger man
PS nice progress on the layout
Have fun with your trains
