My dad would have to drive and I can't drag him into my mess Then again I could hide the evidence under the shed with the 'posums... And since I tore out my wrist removing paving stones for my mom, I could snacth a few of those too.... - Peter

Let’s see now, three thousand pounds at 1:24 scale (rough estimate) works out to thirty-six tons! No wonder you claim to be tired! Looking good my friend. All right, you’ve had your fifteen minute break for the day, now get back to work.

The ballisting is comming along grate.I ran a two car brick train pushing them over the completed areas and then Pulling the two unloaded flat cars for about 2hr's without incident. So that means the Main line has reopened

Top View of Dining Car ( Delta View ) Still need's some tables, pot belly stove and W/C added. I have NO plan's for the kitchen area. (left side ) It work's out to a 32 seat diner. and will only be used at the head end after the crew / baggage car then baggage car. followed by three coach's
This is what I'm doing with the left-over parts from my strore front's.
Can you tell what I'm building?? the base is is a building aid only.
My Doctor gave me the OK to resume painting as long as I ware a mask SOOOO more progress will be made today. Already painted Dinnig car seat's left over roof parts with left over sid'es and end's new door way added almost ready for finnal assambly.
Thank's Vic, they have alot of kit-bashing and asis potential Just need $$$'s.
Thank's Ray, the building is not done yet it still needs to be DUNAKINISED
Colorado Model Structures also sells very affordable kits

Have fun with your trains
All project's requiring painting are on HOLD till I buy a suitable mask, since I just spent 3 days in the hospitial due too much paint dust, blowing sand,grass mowing and other air polutents for the past two week's.
3 more projects to the list - Peter
You can usually find them online for $34-35 each ($42 for the station) plus shipping... I saw that Ridge Road, and Wholesale have them listed for that... I need to get about 3 more eventually
Mik dwbeckettBTW Peter, I purchased the four buildings for $19.95 each back in 97 ( I think ) now they are going for $59.95Each. They look familiar, and that's what the first batch of mine cost.... They also make nice 'company houses' if you gable the false front. If you watch, you can sometimes get the stores and school/church off feebay fairly reasonably... the others (house, train station, fire station, water tank), ouch!

Also watch for Train Shows. At this years BTS in Ontario, I think it was "Ridge Road Station" had them "Set of 4 for $100." Makes them a whole lot more affordable. I picked up a set myself.

I am planning my railroad in stages with the 1st to be small, about the same size as yours Vic, to make it easier on me, but the economy is not helping and trying out for my school's golf team isn't either, but each week I'm getting closer and I think I'll be able to finish the 1st stage by the deadline for the small railroad contest.

Mik PJM20.... I wish I had the time/money to start my garden railway...- Peter Start small. Even a temporary loop on the grass is better than no layout. After my big D I had my 'garden railway' on an old diningroom table in a 2nd floor apartment. The AV story

I agree, all you need is a small patch of ground to start, this is only 5' x 9'.
Very nice building! These are versital kits when you think of them as a kit of parts.
