Yes they do, it's called "anytime"On mine too! But no one knows what time.

Thanks, Sherrel, it is an old Jordan product. They can still be found on ebay from time to time otherwise your local hobby shop may still have one laying around!Love those, DAVE -- Who makes them?

On a personal note I have some big news, I applied for and accepted a new job. Many of you know I am commuting 126 miles per day, have been for two years.
Well, I got a job 6 miles away so that is a game changer for me. Wages are comparable and I will be working for a different county government and different department, however I have some duties that overlap with my old job. So, with an extra 16 hours per week or so that I used to spend driving, I can work on my railroad, along with other things. All I can say is Praise God!!!!!

It came from Tomar industries, it is a small metal thing which was actually made to operate via a stiff wire which runs under the rail. I did hook up one and after seeing what a hassle it is decided to change the direction manuallyLooks fantastic Dave! Is that a caboose industries throw that I see?
Great news Dave - - always nice to hear that the local boys are doing okay! I'm still plugging along at the church in
The building looks super.I made lots of progress on the stone cutting building, all the shingles are on and its weathered:

above - I am applying the shingles. I use Gorilla CA glue, have tried just about everything else and this is the one glue that stands the test of time.
This is the back side, I was not happy with all the application. Always good to start on the back side.
The instruction sheet:

I did not like the look of all those lines lining up so I tried to get them more staggered on the other side,

Above see a look of the shingles (good side) prior to weathering

Lots of work left to make the scene, however the building is done

I like the way the building turned out, next step to make the derricks for moving the sandstone chunks, also fabricating the pieces of sandstone

Yep ! We are The Like Family !Chris, Chris, and Louis - like family!
I made the bridge following a photograph of an actual structure existing on the line that I am modelling.Dave, where did you get the truss bridge from, (last foto) or did you scratch-build it ?
I put one at the Wyoming depot, however placed it by the depot. The original depot had the semaphore come right out of the depot roof:Nice job on those details, especially semaphores. Having grown up in a small city where the semaphores were used normally, i really appreciate such details on model railroad. Are you planning to build one integrated with trainmasters shanty at the station?
