Come Visit My New Webpage
Posted by Bob grech on Tuesday, June 13, 2006 7:16 PM
Here is a link to a new webpage featuring my Western Pacific Railroad. I want to give special credit to Patrick Tiller (Forum member) for putting it all together. I think he did a great job!

Thanks...
Bob.

Bob,
Looks fantastic!! I envy anyone who can take model trains and make them look so real. I work in 'N' guage but am thinking of switching to 'HO'.
Patrick did a great job on the website.

Bob, one word comes to mind when looking at the photo's of your layout. Amazing!! In my opinion detail is what sets a layout like yours out from others. Your scenes are fantastic and look quite lifelike. You are very talented and do great work. Please continue to grace us with your pics. An inspiration to all, I'm sure. Kirk

Hmm I must be looking in the wrong place because that link also forwarded me to the American Racing host site which has this leader:

I guess I figure out how to get to Bob's website, all I get is how to get rid of pigeon or the BST website where I can't find how to gget into Bob's layout. Obviously I'm doing something wrong,"cause you other guys have seen it.

Unfortunetly, the webpage is no longer active. The site domain, managed by Pat, was not renewed. However, you can access many of the same photos via my Photobucket account. Look under the album name "engineerbob".


Btw:

Ground breaking for my new "train room" is scheduled to begin this April. In the meantime, ive been keeping myself active with layout planning, as well as preparing for the upcoming 2008 Anahiem NMRA convention. My old layout is on the "layout tour" list. After that, it will be taken apart. I will however, recycle all of the structures onto the new one.

Have Fun.... Bob.

I was hoping to go this year without watching my cubbies lose 120+ games.....but now....I may have to once again....Sad [:(] If anyone out there would happen to have saved Bobs wonderful tips pages and would be willing to email them to someone whose depression just got worse (lol), My email is woolseyrl@yahoo.com I would appreciate it, Bob is a king! Im but a pawn in the game of life,(MONGO)...if not a checker peice.  

Bob, your site will be missed by MANY here, Im sure (we need a smilie with HUGE tears) (lol)

WE LOVE THE BOB!Bow [bow]Bow [bow]Bow [bow]

Best wishes on your next endeavor, may it prosper exponentially!!!

                                              God Bless!
