Garden Railroads

[Anonymous]

I own a large 90x225ft. G scale garden railroad. It is set in the western United States from 1995-2005. I run everything from ATSF to UP on it. I would like to hear yall gloat about yalls layouts.

[Puckdropper]

Mine's covered with snow. Once I figure out how to cut through the PVC pipe nicely and easily, I'll get a plow built.

It's a simple loop, 8' diameter curves with 5' between each quarter circle.

[Curmudgeon]

Bandsaw.

TOC, funny, isn't it, how the word "gloat" is mostly "goat". And for the life of me I can't find the word "yall" in the dictionary. Must be a foreigner.
Oh, my garden railway? Click on the link in the sig.
I'm also polite enough to sign my postings.

Like "vegamite", mate.
Hell, I've never even been featured in a mag.
Discovered many decades ago I don't need that, I just do what I do and enjoy it.
Must be that "paranoid egomaniac" bit I've heard about.

(or, heerd 'bout in these pahts)

I have belonged to several old car clubs.
The judging and competition isn't my cuppa tea.
I don't even enter modelling contests.

"I don't even enter modelling contests."
Thank God for that! The mental image of you prancing down a catwalk in something from Victoria's Secret boggles the imagination!!!
Maybe something chic from John Deere, perhaps..........

[Curmudgeon]

tu-tu's, Phil, tu-tu's.

[toenailridgesl]

Dave, on you they'd be tut-tuts.

Somehow, gloating about your outdoor layout and trying to impose a coffee shop on this group doesn't square with the spirit of the season.

TOC in a tutu. What an imagination[(-D]

Why do I doubt that? I don't know, cause maybe you're one of Richard Pryors biggest fans and you're only fourteen!!!!!!!! I don't think Richard Pryor has been doing much of anything in the last fourteen years. I suppose you're a HUGE Abbott and Costello fan as well.

My guess is, if you actually DO have a layout, then it's your grandaddy's. Oh, and the correct spelling is y'all.

Time for some pics. Put up or shut up!

[Curmudgeon]

Mark- Pics of what?
A rr or TOC in a TuTu?

[Dick Friedman]

Here's some pics of mine. Small but mighty, it runs on cue and I have fun with it.
Also, in the spirit of the season, let's try to be friendly, and non-judgemental.
It would be a nice change.

[mustanggt]

I don't have one right now, but after veiwing those pics of the BN unit pushing the plow, I hope to build a layout in my backyard. All I need is about 5-6 thousand dollars[xx(]

[vsmith]

All the pics and the sad but true soap opera of my layout, the Borracho RR, is under the "saga of my ever shrinking railroad" thread. A quick search will lead you to it if you care to take the time read it.

[tmcc man]

Still waiting to build mine. Planned it already, and I know Paul Busse, worked with him last summer at the Morris Arboreutem, I will try to see if he will do something with the space I have. If I can get him to do something, gonna see if he will build an elevated loop. I will build the rest. Mine right now is under the Christmas tree, and I just got 2 SP LGB F7s, A and B units. It runs around the floor in the Family room. I have my Aristo RS3, WM ECLSTS special, in the shop, gonna pick it up tomorrow, along with the hopper and Caboose. Also the LGB European starter passenger with the '02 Christmas car as well as 2 DR gondolas. I have 8 freight and 2 heavyweight passenger cars. With the money collected from Christmas I am gonna buy myself one of these.

I'm a Texan. Yall is one of our official words down here.

I have several family members that have been pulling to save the money to make it. Originally, it was to be a family rr, not souly mine. However, they changed their minds and transfered all ownership to me back in 1999. By the way, what the hell does my being a fan of Richard Pryor have to do with anything. I know punks, skaters and gays that are model railroaders. Other intrests that you have don't dictate what you like and dislike. Hahaha, really funny, abbout and costillo. Jerk. Ya know, it's people like you that got me kicked off this forum twice, so shut it.

[Curmudgeon]

hehehehe.

Hey, Torby, I wuz right on the money!

[Tom The Brat]

(I fixed the bounce)

[Curmudgeon]

didja get the second e-mail?

Prolific, alls I can say.
Joined up Sunday and 64 posts already, about every forum here.....

Looks like he's being watched....

[Curmudgeon]

It's already done.
Scream all you want.
Plus, it's all saved.
Want to see it again?
Have a nice day.

UP Northern;

Here's mine:

First indoor overhead



Second overhead layout



overhead of first outdoor layout as it was in the beginning stage



Professional installation of mine at a restaurant in Ann Arbor, Michigan. I built and installed the bridges on this overhead layout.





"O" Gauge Christmas layout



The future home of my newest outdoor layout. This is all that could be done before the snow started to fly.



Call, Raise, or Fold

TOC,

you in a tu-tu? If you insist, but better you e-mail me with that one. There are younguns' about around here.

[Curmudgeon]

Maybe I should post it on the "teenie" forum on MR.......they seem to have no problem over there with anything but reality......

[markperr]

[:D][:D][:D][:D]


I don't know about reality. Time will tell.
