No....... I still can't find any way to make my spark arrestors. I need them before I paint. Then I just need to figure out the railings.

There's a good place in Green Bay near the mouth of the Fox River. There's a large yard and engine facility there with traffic moving through it everyday. I see it alot from the bridge, but I haven't had time to go down there and look (it's kind of hard to get to even tho you can plainly see it when your on the highway. There's also a intermodal yard in downtown Green Bay, but traffic there seems to be somewhat slow.

They follow me from town to the highway and down to Green Bay and into the Industrial Park where I work. Lucky. The closest place(At the least cost) is at a park a mile down the road where there is a clear part by the river where I can see the trains. But then I still...The tracks are all the Way across the river!

Anyways, the closest tracks to me are downtown Milwaukee in the rough parts of town..lol. Or far out in Waukesha (25 minutes away) which is the WSOR.

Oconto Falls here! Just north of Green Bay. Modeling freelanced town along WC in HO. There are 3 shops in Green Bay that I can go to. 1 is Hobby Town (Limited selection not the best prices). 2 is Hobbytown USA (Mostly older stuff, but great prices). 3 is Engine House Services (Dedicated to model railroading, good deals, great selection).
I live in Wausau, West side. So what you guys want to talk about here.
There aren't amny clubs around here. But we do got some pretty good Hobby shops, Popes Hobby Land is good on prices and a good slection. But Hobby Connection has a Huge slection, but higher prices.
I live in Kaukauna (15 miles south of Green Bay). I do both N scale and 3 rail O scale. I mostly putz and don't follow any specific prototype. My favorite era is early 50's and favorite roads are GN, SP, UP, Milw Rd, and CN. My favorite steamer is Harriman consolidation and diesel is EMD E7. My favortite modeling themes are agriculture and fuel refining. The home I live in was built in 1895 by the CNW and was rented to railroad employees in its early life.
