Nice, for all you ho scale and NS fans check out my youtube account http://www.youtube.com/user/NorfolkSouthern9708
Well vincent, hope your GP30 comes in. I like the SPSF paint scheme, wish the RR had lasted longer than it did (like, at least 1 second, lol). I might get a GP20 painted int hat scheme, but probably not, lol.
I think I'm going to add comjmuter ops to my layout and the AAT. Gives me some more scenery to break up the usual, and also a little more running stuff. I already have two old stremaliner coaches I can re-purpose, and hopefully going to be getitng a walthers C-Liner for christmas. Also asking for a Susquehanna RS-1 to be the yard switcher, lol.
Well, I just got back from the MR club's christmas dinner.
I managed to get a P2K double door Auto box in SP and Walthers 100 ton cement hopper in Blue Circle as door prizes. Now to put them together, hope my sound-equipped and the non-sound GP30 (SPSF and BN respectively) and UT4R come in before tuesday night, when I'm to run at the modular display in another town. If my GP30 don't come in, I'll use my SD9s with their funky decoders.
Vincent
Wants: 1. high-quality, sound equipped, SD40-2s, C636s, C30-7s, and F-units in BN. As for ones that don't cost an arm and a leg, that's out of the question....
2. An end to the limited-production and other crap that makes models harder to get and more expensive.

Well, since no one was seriously hurt, I can LMAO at that all I want, lol. That's hilarious and horrible at the same time.
Demon, I don't know how much spectacular work I have done in the past, just small projects.
Sawyer, yes that would be a latter yard.

I've come down with a lousy cold, so I don't think I'll be able to make it. I think its 12$ for a new youth membership at the Hub Division. If you are looking to score brownie points, you can say you're friends with Alex...
I've been gone all day competing at a robotics championship...our team got eliminated in our 2nd round (although there were only about 6 rounds) but we already qualified for the state championship at WPI when we competed a couple weeks ago at BVT (we came in 3rd out of 64 teams!) so it doesn't matter...
I guess I'll see you tomorrow at the Marlborough show, Alex!
I've spent maybe a total of half an hour or so this past week and a few hours today on the layout, and here's the result (the lichen that doesn't have trees in it is only temporary, and I still need to glue everything down. Not ballasting yet because I'm gonna solder the track and add some feeders).
Town:
yard ladder (I think this is the term, IDK):
rear of engine shed/end of yard eventually:
side of engine shed facing the forest:
I might have the track I need to finish the yard soon. I can guarentee there will be some mocking up of structures soon (namely the distribution warehouse).
Page 4 guys? C'mon!
Well, I finally figured out why my SD9 with sound kept shorting out on switches. When I had totally disassembled the trucks and wheelsets to clean them out (It was making lots of noise, turns out it was the motor) one of the wheelsets had became to narrow. I pulled the ends out a bit so that it looked the same as the other ones. It ran fine, but some where along the line the light function in the NCE DA-SR (the sound is an MRC sound-only decoder) in it burned out. The lights are always on in both ways. Sad thing is, this decoder is less than a week old. I'll see about getting both of my DA-SRs repaired under warranty (most of the solder tabs on the other one fell apart when I tried to solder to them for the first time, decoder works fine though. The other one the light outs don't work right) in a few days.
GG, if it makes it easier, don't worry about making it high-hood.
Not to mention yours which I have done very little on...
If worst comes to worst, and I can't find time to finish it, I'll send the loco, detail kit, paint, and decals to you, along witha $60 check.
60 cars to paint and decal, Alex? That's alot, it's only 2 less that my entire roster. (I have 62 cars)
All this talk about buisness has got me thinking, should I start a locomotive leasing buisness? I have 13 operable engines (out of 17, the 3 C424s are still in the works, the GP35 will be done in a few days, last part is on it's way) and I usually use about 2-5 during a typical session. Best part, all my sets of engines have a sound unit in them, except for my SD45s. My GP35 will go with my trio of GP30s, my C424s don't count since they are inoperable.
I managed to finally finish my caboose kit today,. It's one ofthe Walther's CB&Q 4-window cabooses in BN colors. It's supposed to be RTR, but I went and installed all the detail parts and weathered it. Unfortunenly, I lost one of the trucks, so I'll call walthers to get another one. (I have to call them anyways, they left something out of my last order)
Even if he does resell them, I'm sure the new owners would love some beautiful, blue impax!
Guilford GuyI think Yoshi's 60 Impax should provide me with a little cash...
Is he actually having you paint all 60 of them? That's a lot of money to spend if his railroad only needs a couple sets of them...
WCfan demonwolf224 WCfan Tyler, as I said in the Comment in your video, I think that is one of your best! Joes, keep up the good work. I also might be getting an Athearn SD38 with DCC and sound, another super detailing project if I get that unit. I have to say that is a great video! You ever think about opening up a weathering and superdetailing bussiness WC? Tyler made the video if you where complimenting me. I haven't weathered anything yet. I also haven't thought of opening up a business. I suppose I could do a few locomotives for friends ect, but not a business.

Would you consider me a friend??? Just Kiddn'
or just get glue another way...
no, im not really patient

If I were you, I'd wait till the glue comes in rather than fudge the structure and use tape or something to assemble it...
Alex, I wouldn't know anything about that, would I?
im so confused...
I ordered a couple of things from walthers the other day. one of them was shipped and the other was backordered because it was out of stock. it was supposed to come in today. i checked the website before and it was still out of stock, but the delivery date was changed to unknown. so now im getting a structure, but no glue to put it together with. why does walthers never have anything in stock?
guess ill just keep working on scenery and finding an alternate way to put the sturcture together.
Trust me, painting/weathering stuff for other people gets boring/horrible really quickly... Don't do it... You'll regret it...
Well, I'm going to keep rolling with my 4x8. I removed a switch from my yard, giving me three yard tracks, not 4 (the A/D track can act as a 4th classification track, and the main a 5th, at worst). I also moved the engine shed to another area, and now have a smaller, more shortline looking yard (which they branch pretty much is, lol). My other layout plan might happen in a year or two, lol.
hey guys! starting a new layout today! got a track plan laid out. set in the southwest in the late 70s - early 80s. its n scale, and its going to be 14x14(1 foot wide, but in an "L" configuration, which is 14 feet in each direction.) anyway, i'm building it in sections and was wondering if u guys had some tips for blending the scenery blend from module to module. thanx guys!
-Mike.
ns3010O, n btw. Bigblue, i like ur graphic of the ALP-64 w/ Comet Vs
Thanks! I love NJT and CSX. NJT is my favorite being that I am from Nj. When I go up there to visit ill hopefully get some railfanning in.
Looks good so far Joe.
Well, I will probably set the 4x8 alone for a few months or so and work on a simple 2x4 that's been inspired by a plan in 102 trackplans. I'll probably get most, if not all, of what I need for Christmas, and then just roll from there, see if I can get a spot in the bonus room to work, where it's heated, lol.
