    How did you get started in the hobby?

    I was 23 when I got my first train set. It was the Bachman N-Scale American 4-4-0 set. My girlfriend and I were spending our first Christmas together and wanted something to put around the very small tree we had. That was the reason we purchased the N-Scale set. HO would have just been way too...

    Looking for a low-run, not too costly, custom decal mfr

    I did some decals for PlowGuy on here. They turned out really well I think. Do you have a printer? If so, what is it? I used a Dell 1320c Color Laser with Laser printer paper I got off Amazon. I could give you some graphic design help and some pointers if you want to try it yourself. Trust me...

    Going to St Louis Transportation Museum - Any other suggestions?

    Sorry I didn't reply sooner. My phone went dead and my USB port has decided to stop working. Anyway, we had a good time. We started off going to the transportation museum. I got to climb aboard my favorite engine - the 4-8-8-4. There were a lot of cool trains and passenger cars to look at as...

    Going to St Louis Transportation Museum - Any other suggestions?

    That would be fun. I have taken a break for awhile. Spring has me working on my Mustang and tge yard so I haven't been on the PC much. I'm still here though. Sent from my SPH-D710BST using Tapatalk

    Going to St Louis Transportation Museum - Any other suggestions?

    I was wondering if anyone in or near St Louis has any suggestions for other things to do in the St Louis area (besides the Arch and Zoo). We have a family of 5 and am looking for things fun for the kids which are 2, 7, and 13. Thanks for any suggestions. I will be watching for replies on the...

    Model Builder Software....

    That looks very interesting. I would be curious to know how good it is as well. I am a graphic designer and have been modifying printed paper structures I got from Clever Models. This would be nice because you can create your own. Will be watching your thread Tony.

    Another day, another dumbass

    I have been known to go through a crossing in front of an oncoming train, but any more I sit and enjoy the train going by.

    Researching Union Pacific's Wyoming Division

    Do you have a link to the actual group? I searched and am not sure which group you are referring to. Thanks! As for the 4-4-0... it may not be prototypical. But I will find a place for it. It is the loco that got me into model railroading, so I have to have it utilized somehow. I have been...

    WPF 4/7 to 4/13/2014

    Sorry guys. I forgot to come update my links after some organizing. They are back up now. Tony, That concrete slab is just painted and weathered basswood. I first sealed the wood, then I scribed the expansion joints with an exacto blade. Then I drug an exacto blade upside down back through each...

    WPF 4/7 to 4/13/2014

    I have been waiting for these shots Ray. That has turned out so great. Good job! I have been slowly progressing on my mini diorama, working on one detail at a time. I am currently building a tree for placement behind the fence. I thought about adding foliage, but since this is a scene from a...
