We rarely shut down for any reason, but this one is a biggie. On this coming Friday, May 11, we will shut things down here so that we can move over to a new server. It takes a good eight hours just to download our database, then another eight to upload it to the new server. That means we plan on being down for the entire weekend assuming that things go as planned. We will try to do this a quickly as possible, but there are things that we can't control that can get in our way.

We have our Big Blue Google group where we will try to keep everyone updated. Our objective is to get on the new server with new software but still maintain the look and feel of what we have now. The new software will be easier for us to maintain and it has many new features that we all can use if you want.

Remember, Friday, May 11 sometime late in the day is when we plan on starting all this.

Hi all - been awhile since I posted here. Twin babies have kept me quite busy (and quite broke!) for the past year and a half.

Lately my modeling has been in front of a computer screen - drawing things up to be 3-D printed. I can do that inside at a desk while the babies sleep or play, whereas it's not as easy to get time in my workshop. I have had some success printing things on Shapeways, and here is my latest result:
   

It's an HOn3 hopper I drew up based upon some others I had scratchbuilt following a 1958 article in Model Railroader. The print came out excellent, and the assembly was easy.

When I first saw this photo of UP's new switch engine I had a feeling of Déjà vu because of the resemblance this engine has with the Alco's C415.

Who would have thought?

Hi everyone, I thought I would share with you my version of "Fine Scale Miniatures" last kit Jewel Series No.19 I.M.DUNN Co.
I have always been a big fan of George Sellios, and of his kits and of his fabulous layout the Franklin & South Manchester.
I built my Dunn's kit slightly different from what the instructions suggested.
I hope you will enjoy my photos, of the completed scene.

For a long time I have been tempted to install lighting in another town on my layout. Woodland Scenics has their Just Plug LED light so I thought I would give it a try. Here is a photo of what I have been able to do so far. Te town is about 12 feet long total and it wnded up that I need an expansion hub to to be able to complete the town. I do like the way the lamps look, just right for the transition era. It is a bit of a pain working with wires that aren't much larger than a hair, but I do like the results.

I'm late posting this.
