I thought there was a thread for sites we want to share but a search was fruitless. 

I wanted to mention this one site that prints 3d buildings and is constantly expanding his line and is very reasonably  priced.  His products lean heavy on the Victorian age but he has introduced some other wonderful models. 

Gold Rush Bay

He does O and N as well as HO.

The Blue Pig is taking advantage of the weather and is having it's first outdoor live music night, as WPMA-40 makes it's way along Division Street.

I have been having problems with the speed of viewing and uploading for the last several months. It is only on Big Blue. My internet speeds are over 300mb down and 29mb up so it isn't on my end. Any one else noticing this? I am asking because it may be comcast slowing this site down so I wnt to be sure before I complain to them.

Is there anyway to update the email address associated with my account? The address associated with my account is super old and I no longer have access to it so I’d really like to update it. And if possible, I’d like to change my username but one thing at a time here lol

Good Friday---a special day for Christians around the world---perhaps a day to count our blessings and say a prayer for peace and hope for all those who are suffering---I realize how blessed I am as I sit in my train room today.

  South River Modelworks roundhouse project I've been working on
Posted by: Ensign - 04-01-2023, 07:08 PM - Forum: HO Modeling - Replies (37)

Hi everyone, I thought I would share with you some pics of a project that I've been working on for more than a year now.
It's a kit that I bought 20 years ago and have finally got around to building it.
It's from "South River Modelworks" the HO scale Brick 8 stall roundhouse kit No. 220.
I also kitbashed what was a "Downtown Deco 2 stall engine house kit into a machine shop at the rear of my roundhouse.
Both kits wall are made from Hydrocal so they worked together well.
It's still a project in the works, but I am now far enough along to show you some pics of how it's looking.
I also switched out the powerhouse that came as part of the roundhouse kit for another one the came with a different SRMW"s kit "Black Stone Paper Mills" instead.
Anyway here are some progress pics.

   

   

   

   

   

   

I will update with more photos as my project proceeds.
Thanks for having a look!

Greg

Looks like I am starting the thread this week. I hope all is well with Bruce.

B&O GP-40 locomotives lead a freight through Leiperville Union Station. Locos are Atlas Master with Command DCC installed. The other night I switched the jumper from DC to DCC on both locos so now they are full DCC.
