dbaker - Idea - I like where this is going; instead of a car exchange, we should have Chief's Box exchange.  We could ship it to a new member each month, add our own touches, take pics to post, and move it along.

BRILLIANT!



Who is paying for the fuel??? I would love to see what Buckeye would do to it! Laugh

I'm thinking we should have Chief build a layout in a pod, then ship it from person to person to everyone can add something. A little scenery here, a little hobo scene there ...

Banks, windows have blinds that are closed.  Sliding doors have deep tint added [that to my son, Frankie].  That also cut way back on the summer sun heat that came through the doors.  There will be 2 foot tall Masonite around the walls with backdrops attached.  This will also cover most off a window.  The mountain [where the hole is] will cover [or almost cover] that window.

Wonderful Train Box Chief.  You and the wife have both done a great job!  The layout of your track looks great, I really like what you are doing with the yard area.  I hope you'll continue to post progress photos!  Bo  Smile

Chief......I showed my son-in-law "The Box" or as LAZ calls it "THE WRECK TANGLE" and he was completely blown away with what you have created.  Inside and out.  He wanted to know if the wifey Pam has a set of keys.  :-)  JACK.
