Dave, that craftsmanship is amazing, very nice job.

Pigseyes, very nice rebuild. Probably sounds better than when MTH had PS1 installed in it.

Dave- BB is the first beagle I've ever heard of to run on O Gauge Track! What next?[:P][;)] Then again Marx had a Bunny Train. So, Maybe BB is prototypical of Train Animals that run on the rails? Take Care.

Man, this is one of the best Sunday photo fun's ever! The pictures on these 2 pages are unbelievable!!!! Good work guys; esp. Pigseye on the rebuild.

Beer break for track gang; bone for the hound

The weather Saturday was nice enough to lay track. After a sweaty day, tested the track with a Budweiser beer car, as the track gang was thirsty.





To hold the quarter-minus ballast together, I sprayed some diluted concrete adhesive onto the ballast (first wiping the rails with WD-40). Learned the trick from a fellow O scale garden RRer in Nevada who has a 100 pound dog.



BB the beagle tested the track out by running on it and it held together pretty good.







For all of her hard track testing work, BB the beagle demanded and received a small steak bone.

Hello Everyone! Like I've said before there is lots of talent here on this forum. Laz- You may have to turn JaneDog loose on MTH so that they can get the siderod to you for your Triplex Tender.[;)][:P] John- Look out! If you develop a sudden urge for Grits its on account of when your Caboose was behind the Chief's Boxcar![;)] Tmcc is right. Put it behind a Yankee Boxcar![;)][:)] And that will cure it. Take Care.

Good Afternoon all, Got a late start today.

Here's the Railking Cab Forward all finished.





Ripped out Proto1 and installed TMCC and Railsounds. What a job. First steamer I converted and is a little more difficult than diesels,with the tethers.

I think these pics were taken before I started. I also installed LED's in the front and rear. Cab lighting and Engineer figure. Hope yall enjoy. Tim

Heres my new MTH Triplex, notice the last picture someone at MTH forgot to put in the plunger and main rod on the right side of tender.
I emailed them no responce going to have to get on the horn.
Other then that a real good engine fun to watch.

Ed, you are more than welcom. You had about 90% of it done. [:D]

The next step was to put the img coding at the start and the end of the photo link, so that the program that runs this forum knew it was a photo and not text. Look at the menu at the top of reply to topic, (not the quick reply) and you will find on the fourth line down FORMAT: The 11th icon over is the img (insert image) code's icon. Highlight your http photo code with your mouse, and then click on the 11th icon and it will put the code at the beginning and the end of your http photo code.

See that icon that has the HR in the box, it makes the following line.

i hope these went thru this time.
The first is of one of our Kalamazoo toy train works trains.
The others are of the 1225 AKA the polar exspress in the winter, a few of our trains on out tenp layout & of our 1950 Allis Wd.
The little boy is our son, Zack.
Trying to find a good photo of my better half, seems that all of the photos we have she is not in many, going to have to get her on the other end of the camera.
YE-HAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!![:)][:D][:I] IT WORKS!
Should let you know what some of the trains are that are in the photos.
MTH scale big boy, railking dryfuss & UP Challenger, American flyer 283, Polar exspress, Lionel 726 berk & 390E standard gauge.

50 Allis
