I wished I lived closer to durango so I could roll down there to the real prototype to take measurements.....but 8 hours one way is to long for me lol

DCC is so much better then DC! Sounds and smoke add so much realism to the modeling railroad world! :o

Well the time has come again for some more bashing! I will be bashing my K-27 into a K-28, number 473. Im not looking to do a perfect model of the prototype, but she will be close! I already have the drivers apart and almost ready to bash them into shape! I got a couple questions tho...

D&RGW for me as I love the narrow mindedness of narrow gauge! :D

Very nice vid! she looks n sounds great!

I've heard some good things about their track! I gotta 'so called' friend thats trying to build a display trailer for shows, and hes trying to get Aristocraft to sponsor the track....

heres some pics of my G scale K

lol thanks Kevin, that was kinda the idea! ;) I modeled most of my K after the K-28 #473 and heres a video of D&RGW #346 running today. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qKCnJcfmSQc

Piping comes in all shapes and sizes...and my guess is that they are ordered in different lengths, per the customer. I also would agree that no loads should be 'truly neat' unless you are hauling shipping containers and or presized lumber (2x4s).....just my .02

And heres some pics from today.

+1! I cant believe the detail in this build! :eek: keep up the great work! Anymore progress on this piece?

I think your gonna love the over size and of G scale...but you'll cry when you spending money on track....lol

Thanks Fireman! couple more pics.

Well I started with my first car....and as it sits now shes about half done....I started with a nice tall glass of ice tea and then worked my way to the trucks. I then moved my way up....please remember these are beginning stages. all feedback welcomed! good or bad.

wow thats a great layout George! keep up the great work!

holy jumpin up and down! Thats huge! lol.......ok headin to look for it now!

Thanks Tooter! I was thinkin the samething after I saw it on my computer! I work on and run real steamers (3 truck shay #12 and #346) at our museum and it bugs the hell out of me when I look at a model and its not close to the real deal! I also have a set of AMS passenger cars that I will start...

Great vid!!! how big is your layout?

Nice! Once you go G, you never go back!
