Hello to all my old Gauge friends - some of whom I have run into on other forums. I had pretty much given up on the Zealot business, so it really is nice to see the REAL Gauge back again. I sure do hope that many of the older members who left will find their way back here as well.

As for me, I'm still modelling in On30, still have nothing really in a finished state, as I seem to jump from one project to the next...can anyone identify with this? My layout is a freelanced Northern Canadian narrow gauge line that fictionally links the Yukon and White Pass with a (never built) extension of the Dolly Varden Mines railway. I'm hoping to incorporate some Y&WP equipment here and there, as well as some of the "Megill River and Lighthorse Railway", who uses narrow gauge equipment purchased from many different and eclectic sources, as well as home-built whenever possible.

As mentioned, I will be off for about 6 months as I have been accepted for training with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, and upon successful completion (fingers crossed!) of 6 months of training, will be enrolled as a member. I'm not too sure what kind of free time I will have during this period, but will try to check in here and there.

How about a contest to come up with a fictitious Railroad and or place name? Max entry is 5 names per person. Prize none just an exercise in imagineering 8-)

I hope someone can help me with this- when I take pictures then look great in the camera viewer but when I upload them to my computer and to Photobucket they are grainy and not very sharp.I am using a normal setting on the camera.This has been an ongoing problem. I even contacted the manufacture who had me try a few things but nothing really changed. Does anyone have a clue as to why this might be happening? Thanks for any help-Bob

Here are some of the current pictures from my 2'x8' switching layout. These show the proposed location of the roads.
You will notice in the first few shots that I chose not to have the road cross the tracks.Rather in the front the road will end up in an that trucks can use to turn around in so the can back into the two industries on the front left side.




The last couple of shots show the road running from the left side all the way down to the coal tower at the far end.It also cuts off between two of the buildings and here it crosses the tracks to access the freight handling area.



I am planning on making the roads out of styrene. At this point I'm not sure if the roads will be asphalt or concrete,and the same goes for the parking areas and freight handling area.

I have been a member at the old place since 2005, but never seemed to have an occasion to post there...until two nights ago. Now I am here and must say it has tons of promise to show.

I look forward to "meeting" all of you as time goes on.

The last two PMs I "sent", as in wrote the message and clicked on "submit", went to the outbox. Q. I have looked, how do you get the message from the "outbox" to the receipient ??? Neither of them showed up in "sent mail". :?: :?: :?:

This is an Athearn GP38-2 I picked up recently. The shell is rtr quality and the chassis is the old blue box spline shaft drive with brass worms and has that characteristic Athearn growl that I like to hear.



It'll be lashed up tail to tail with this old warhorse I just rebuilt:

Any of you use printed paper back drops? I printed up some building pictures for my backdrop, and am wondering what to use to fasten them to the backdrop to keep them flat without the ink running. Right now I used clear tape to see how they look, but it looks hoaky.

I have a cordless keyboard and mouse by Microsoft, the store was sold out of Logitech keyboards and mice when I bought it. My keyboard frequently drops letters as I type, and if I hit the post button before I proof read, errors show up. On the old board I did a lot of editing my posts because I did most of my proof reading after I had posted. I don't see an edit button on this new forum.
