La Mirada, CA Industrial Switching Layout Progress

[Green_Elite_Cab]

4 axles, on your roster? I remember not so long ago it was all SDs. Nice wide cabs.

Still wishing i had the space to give myself a larger yard (maybe not that big), i think i've long out grown my 4x8.

That's looking real nice! Probably feels good to have some tracks with trains on them. BTW, amazing how fast paint thinner dissolves foam, eh?

Yeah, i've had a cave form over a couple years in a block of foam i used to take photographs with (then i got a mini tripod for christmas). it started as a dent, but what the thinner didn't eat, it made so frail that it crunched like old leaves, leaving a cave. It will probably be fine if you don't poke it to much.

However … G.E.C. should be O.K. pulling molds of his kit bashed diesel or electric locomotives for the purposes of producing body shells for his own use, to increase the size of his own fleet of motive power. But the moment he sells one of those shells to one of us, or the kid down the block, THEN he has broken the law.

well, i think I'll just stick to sharing amongst friends then. Still, i wonder how i could produce these things from scratch so that i don't have to worry about these issues. I definitely didn't plan on pulling anything off like the kid you described, though that is a somewhat funny story. I figure these molds can cast 10-20 shells and then their done, and i probably won't make another mold.
