I, ironically, have more buildings than track laid. I have two depots and plan to have all the necessary railroad structures with three towns. It will be slow, but it will happen.

One thing I can say about Rocky's RR. "he has done ALOT in a small space"!!!!

Is it REAL? or Just 1:29 scale?

Saddly the free host (tripod) doesn't seem to allow the posting of photos on other sites and forums. It throws up a Tripod.com sort of thing in place of the picture.

But I do have some links you could follow to see what I do have...

and...

I am hoping next spring to lay permanent track and have two of my town's railroad districts completed. Additionally, I will build some downtown modules and an old Spanish Mission Chruch.

Steve, one of the favorite spots on my Subumbra Garden Railway is Shady Dell Station. It's quiet in this shot, but has been featured in many pictures I have taken.

To me no railway is complete without a station of some sort.

Gentlemen;

This stuff is just so good i am impressed, sometimes you think you are doing good and then something like this comes along and you realise that you have a long way to go in some directions.

However i have done some work with Jigstones, as i have no real ability in this direction, if you are like me you may well visit their website and have a look and it may suit your abilities or lack of them; if you are like me.

Mr. Cozad, I cut wire from coat hangers about 5" long and drill a hole in the end of the post and glue in the wire. By the way the redwood comes from the garden dept. at Walmart sold for tomato stakes. I'm going to try the wire on the telephone poles you showed me how to make as the ends got chewed up pretty good this last summer even with tar on them.
