JUST STOPPED IN, THOUGHTIMIGHT SAY HI
LES

Well, thread #8 has reached 4000 posts, so we're off to #9. Why the Roman Numerals? Heck if I know, when we started these threads, I guess someone just did it that way and we've continued ever since. A long time....

I did move the last two posts from the old thread since they were posted today...............

Starting a new project.  A Sylvan Scale Models kit of a CNR Wood Caboose.

   

Here is another Resin kit from Sylvan Scale Models.

I just noticed this on my layout.  I have no idea how it got there.

   




I kill me some days.  

It was mentioned a while back on the other forum who allows me to participate, that we haven't seen Larry / Brakie since late September. I was wondering as he's a moderator here, if anyone knows if he's OK?
Cheers, the Bear.

The local railfans are out today catching the action at Christopher's Landing.

I just finished my previous layout Lucky Luke.  I want to continue with another project at on 30 scale called Carl ARENDT Mine Company. 10 years ago I started a layout at on30 scale but I never finished it. So I will do it differently this time.
It's called Carl ARENDT, because Carl ARENDT was a remarkable man that I appreciated a lot. The second reason is that I add a specific constraint typical of  Carl ARENDT’s spirit. My layout will have only 10 cm deep (4 inches). The reason of this constraint was inspired me by a discussion with my friends Erwan Josset and François Fontana (editor-in-chief of a narrow gauge magazine) that proposes as a challenge to create a layout of 10 cm deep. I doodle a lot of and I find one solution by creating a cross-section of a mining network. There are also two advantages of this size: a quick realization and also it could easily store in my flat during the building.
I chose to do this at on30 for the atmosphere because if I do it at hoe scale it will be too small. It will be an US mine.
