Thanks For The compliment Ozark and Tyler.
TMRP is basically a branch off/Subsidiary of TRP. Both threads I participate frequently with.

I agree totally. I need to dig out through my archives, but I may have a picture of the stack at the Power plant here in town.
Welcome Keith and Duncan. I can't wait to see photo from both of you.
Duncan, Sounds interesting. I like the freelanced branch lines and short lines. Something about them....lol.
Hey,
I'm Duncan from small town Maxville, not far from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. I model the Canadian Pacific during the late 70's. My current layout (3x12) is a freelanced historical brach line of the CP. The real branchline I model was called the Glengarry and Stormont railway, and connected the booming city of Cornwall (Ontario) to the St-Polycarp Junc. (Quebec). This line was abondoned in 1995. In my version of history however, the line expanded sometime in the 50's/60's and a second mainline was established to connect Montreal and Toronto (the original line is located further north). Unfortunatly I can not extensivly model the entire line, so my current layout depicts a much expanded railyard at Willamstown (Ontario). Industries I model include a large Co-op (grain elevator, fertilizer warehouse and feed mill), and a gravel quarry. I also model passenger service, with trains stopping regularly at the station at the edge of town. I am currently working on the scenery.
In short this was who I am and what I do.
Welcome Keith! Got any photos of your layout (if any) so far? Always good to have another member here!
Whats up guys,
Im Keith, pushing 16 years old. Im on a 2x4 in n scale along with a 4x7 in n scale. My main focus is Norfolk Southern, however i am a huge fan of the Guilford Rail Systems.
Ill be interested to see what thos post leads to.

Ozark, I guess it is kind of like this thread: http://cs.trains.com/forums/1/1311329/ShowPost.aspx#1311329
Cool photos, I love that WC unit!
Looks good.
BTW what exactly is the purpose of this thread? is there anything specific we talk about, or is it more like Eliots Trackside diner?
here's some pics I took while out railfanning.
Enjoy!
Well I dragged my Diorama out side today. It still needs alot more work. Such as a grade crossing, line side poles, grass, ect. My camera messed up the exposure and made it super bright.

That looks like the YMR table (Youth in Model railroading)
Also I think Guilford Guy is the prez. Is that who you are talking about?
EDIT: I just noticed that you have a YMR link there... oops!

Sawyer,
Why are you a Packers fan?
Just wondering, because I am from Wisconsin and personally do not like them.
Minnesota Vikings and New York Giants for me.
SHUN THE NON BELIEVE SHUN!!!! NO FRIENDS, NO FRIENDS!!!!
Ozark, looks nice!
Packers#1, nice work1 Your layout is comming along nicely.
BTW: If any one wants to model an abonded spur, you can model the ties where the switch was. Like this.
That went to Steward island. Not to long ago they tore up this line. The line to the CNW is a bike path, and the bridge to Steward Island is now a walk way bridge.

Yes, the two Packers fans. Just remember the #1, and we won't have problems.

Well, I'm probably going to miss my local MR club's open house. The guys who make the schedule at work are retards. (I specifically asked for the 20th off, I marked saturday because that's what a report next to the off-day sheet said. So they give me Saturday. The question is why do I work at a place where the manager never thinks to ask what day I wanted off, or where they don't even know the day of the month?).
The manager that will be working sunday said she'll try to let me off early. ALso the guys at the MR club said that some of them would stay a little late so I could run around the module layout.
One thing I never figured out with some of my locos: when I program my GP30s or GP9s together, they make a lot of noise. However it's only present at low speeds with out a load. Once I get a good train on them, they run fine. What's up with that?

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.

Wow....old photos....
I'm almost 14, I guess that would be sort of the same generation. I don't handlay my track, in fact I use Code 100 Atlas track, that's probably the farthest you can get from handlayed without getting into trainset stuff.
Oh, and I've got a few movies up on Youtube too, in case you feel like watching.

Rich - that is the same club Alex (Guilford Guy) is a part of, I think he's the president actually.
If you ever fall over in public, pick yourself up and say “sorry it’s been a while since I inhabited a body.” And just walk away.

Looks good either scale.
Thanks for the compliment. You're correct, it's n scale.
Well, here's my 4x8 layout. It is a freelanced RR called the Southeastern Continental Rwy., or the SEC. There will be an automotive assembly plant and some other industries. I will answer any questions you have about it. *Note*: the cardboard structure is just there so I can get a feel for my auto plant.
Please enjoy.

That's right, you have to be a Packers fan to understand what Favre meant to the organization. He was our star quarterback for a good while, we stuck with him through thick and thin, and, BOY, you just couldn't get him out of the game. My Language Arts teacher has some relatives in Wisconsin, and they sent her some newspaper clippings. I read that one time, when they were playing the Steelers, he got hit hard by three defensemen at the same time, went to the sideline coughing up blood, and what do you think that crazy boy does? Comes back in and throws a 1 yard TD pass. It figures that they have retired the 4, it has meant so much to Packers fans, they should produce it forever.
sorry guys-
I model in HO scale, DC power
I'll bite too
I'm Anthony, 15 yrs old
I model the BNSF in the summer of 1998 in kansas.
I am building a new 5x16 layout that better represents prototypical operations in the area, taking grain from the co-ops to a MASSIVE grain elevator I made out of two walthers kits.
i'll keep up with picts as soon as i get money :)
I'm getting a little tired of typing this. I'm a Packers fan all because of a card I had when i was like 4 or 5. It was shiny Brett Favre card. I think i was also impressed by Brett Favre's toughness, and I've grown up loving the Packers. Nobody in my family is a Packer fanatic (though my 12 yr. old sister is a colts fanatic.)
here's some pics:
Theses are some old pics. My layout is currently undergoing a make over. I plan on posting photos soon.
