Re: My Grande Valley Railway in the "N"ormal scale - Catt - 06-18-2015 Cataract surgery is slowing down any progress on the rebuild of the layout.So there may not be much progress to report on this project. Re: My Grande Valley Railway in the "N"ormal scale - Tyson Rayles - 06-18-2015 Cataract surgery was life changing for me, now Z scale seems HUGE! Best wishes for a speedy recovery/healing process! Re: My Grande Valley Railway in the "N"ormal scale - Catt - 06-18-2015 I can already tell a difference,just glad I did not have this while I was still working. Re: My Grande Valley Railway in the "N"ormal scale - BR60103 - 06-18-2015 My cataract surgery went fairly well, but it exposed some shortcomings in my re-attached retina (which was the cause of the cataract). However, I can now read my clock radio at night without glasses, at least in that eye. I also have a colour perception difference between my eyes. One thinks that the hall carpet is taupe while the other sees it as ecru. I have no further interest in discussing PRR green. Re: My Grande Valley Railway in the "N"ormal scale - Tyson Rayles - 06-19-2015 " taupe while the other sees it as ecru." Those are colors??????????????????? ![]() Re: My Grande Valley Railway in the "N"ormal scale - Catt - 06-21-2015 Overall shot of the 10'6" wall section. ![]() Corner shot,current plan is to keep these two buildings where they are.The track you see will be moved forward and a couple more buildings added (at least one on each side of the street). ![]() Now it's back into the destruct mode as that grade against the wall has to go.(there will be no grades in the new version of the GVR). Re: My Grande Valley Railway in the "N"ormal scale - Tyson Rayles - 06-22-2015 It's a mess now but I'm sure it will turn out great. Re: My Grande Valley Railway in the "N"ormal scale - Catt - 07-04-2015 More destruction photos coming.Here is the first one.All of this is on it's way out,plus another 6'6" to make room for the Z layout. ![]() Three of the shelves will be mounted on wall brackets.This is a picture of the brackets for the shelf I am working on now.These same brackets will also be the supports for the Z layout once I get it into the basement. ![]() Re: My Grande Valley Railway in the "N"ormal scale - Catt - 07-12-2015 This is the last deconstruction picture.From here on out the updates will be build pictures.My thoughts are to have a train running by mid August then get started on the Z layout. ![]() Re: My Grande Valley Railway in the "N"ormal scale - Catt - 07-14-2015 Here's the bench work drawing for the new and improved Grande Valley Railway. ![]() Re: My Grande Valley Railway in the "N"ormal scale - Catt - 07-20-2015 Nuther update ,two more screws and this side is ready for blue board.They a fast trip to Menards for the material for the open side.I estimate that I will have around $125.00 in this rebuild including new cork roadbed. ![]() ![]() I think it will take longer to dump the accumulated junk than it is taking to rebuild the layout. ![]() Re: My Grande Valley Railway in the "N"ormal scale - Tyson Rayles - 07-21-2015 :wait: :wait: :wait: :wait: :wait: Still no scenery? ![]() ![]() Re: My Grande Valley Railway in the "N"ormal scale - Catt - 07-21-2015 Mike said, Quote: :wait: :wait: :wait: :wait: :wait: :wait: Still no scenery? ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Re: My Grande Valley Railway in the "N"ormal scale - Tyson Rayles - 07-22-2015 ![]() ![]() Re: My Grande Valley Railway in the "N"ormal scale - Catt - 07-22-2015 I ran out of usable 2' extruded Styrofoam ![]() ![]() ![]() |
