Very nice as always Steve! I go over that bridge at Grasmere quite often. Love the bus! Keep up the good work!

Hmmm, would love to see you tackle the Clifton Station curve and all.

Thanks Matt.
The layouts are finished.
If I collect enough materials, I will do an industrial 2 & 3 rail layout with a real looking 3 track subway EL some day.

I'm getting real close to having a basement 54x26 (some time in March) and the layout will be TWO rail. There's just no look like two rail.

Hey Brian
You are going to have to decide whether you like the look or the operation Two rail looks alot nicer but you can't go 120 with those little flanges. Its also much easier to wire three rail than it is two rail

Thats the size of the basement, one way or another it will be two rail. I hate that rail in the middle. All that work people put into there layouts and that middle rail looks like Sh*t. I'm going to give Joe frank a run for his money. :mrgreen:

Is this the same type of pounding your chest that produced the money train?

That statement shows the faith I have in myself to produce superior modeling work like his. As for the money train, that to was good work. Unfortunately at the time I as working on it, I dint have the time I have now. That too will get done, I have bigger fish to frie at the moment.

Amazing work as always. If you don't mind telling, where do you come up with those great ads?

Thanks Mike.
Everythings on the internet.
Go to Yahoo,type in what you want,select IMAGES at the top and scroll through the pages until you see what you are looking for.

Copy,paste AD or photo into MS Excel .
Re-work,re-size the ad or photo using that program.
It's fast and easy for me since I use Excel every day at work.
When you get enough signs and ads, print them out using hi gloss photo paper then cut them out.

I found this for you...
