Lionel2986,

My water is not real.

It's a two-part resin called Pour-On and I added acrylic river green paint to the mix prior to pouring. Below is the shot I wanted to post yesterday, but trains never keep schedules in Castle Canyon.

I had to sit all day in a balsawood boat anchored to the river bottom until finally a train passed by...

Perry,

 

That's awesome. The cigarette smoke adds a nice touch. A great photo!

Lisa, only problem with the train store up there, they have all MTH and they are proud of it $.

Dennis,  I didn't talk w/ anyone there but did notice only Bachman & MTH.  Did not have a big selection and of course was a little pricey - like everything else around there! 

Remember Dennis - Keep breathing!

 Hi Chief!......Are you writing a new Dictionary? You spelled "Carpet" as "Crapet". OOORR... Crapet is a special Suthern Carpet made of Dust Bunnies,Squirrel Hair,Racoon, & Possum Hide. Take Care.

I know I'm a little late, gut I thought I'd add to the fun. Passenger service has heavily increased lately. So much that Amtrack is contracting SP to reinstate it's passenger service.

Okay so the story is lame but this is my first time. Maybe you guys can but me a little slack?





By the way, if you want to see some good footage of these two rounding the layout check my youtube. (Click on the word youtube.)

Great video.  I have one of those G4 SP Daylight Specials [semi scale].  The only command steamer I have.

Now Chief, do I look like the kind that would tease you?  I read all these posts about cleaning track, keeping motive power lubed and bulbs on, and keeping dust off the layout.  I have discovered a answer for all these, KEEP the TRAINS IN THE LARGE PLASTIC BINS and plastic sheets over the layout.  No dust, no wrecks, no breakdowns......Just kidding.  Actually, I am doing both wiring and partial scenery as time permits.  I have a friend coming to visit early part of August, so I have to get more than one loop of trains running.

[Buckeye Riveter]

Thanks guys. The layout is located at the Omniplex, the city science museum in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Currently there is talk about renovating the layout. One of the guys who has been temporarily put in charge wants to tear it apart and redo the whole thing! He also wants to put in a full HO line. "Blech." I really think it needs to be cleaned and redecorated with fresh landscaping and tons of action acessories for the kids. It does need new track too. Anyway, probably more than you wanted to know.
