Willie - I would break out the razor saw and remove the top platform, the ramps, stairs and shorten the main platform legs and make a dock and boathouse out of it. Does one of your trailer house scenes have a pond? That would be prefect to keep a flat bottom boat /Jon boat in out of the weather.

I have a picture of a 53' USPS mail trailer sitting all by its self in nowhere Montana right around christmas. Its a wonder somebody didnt hook up and haul it off or break into it. Probably full of ballots.

Old school paint brand - Floquil?

Willie - I absolutely love the Chicken mama scene! Everything from her to the chicken pen in the back and the old Ford truck. Especially the front fender work. Those pictures just became my favorite for the year. Guy - You are correct, great mule deer, and out on the horizon, you will find...

Fed Ex dropped this off today. Hot Wire Foam Factory Pro 4 kit, four tools, and the adjustable heat control. This will come in handy shaping the mountains on my future layout and my other hobby - Halloween Props. 🎃

Lots of pretty views being shown today, some of you might like my office outside every day, then some of you may not. I guarantee you could walk for weeks and never see a starbucks. Sharp eyes will spot my wife on the four wheeler, she has a week off to be out with me. ;)

Jerry - When I was working up in NE Washington there was a club or group of people who owned speeders and they all came puttin into the town. They were traveling on a line that was no longer in use, there must've been 50 of them. It was a sight to see! Willie - yeesh, my eyes hurt just thinking...

One more for the mix - I use a thick C/A glue for different media like that. Or if you're patient and can set up a jig to hold items in place a two part epoxy. Two part epoxy is how I attached brass pilots to the MDC metal chassis. I used strips of styrene to hold it level off the track till...

My wife has been tracking a business envelope with a tracking number that left Mansfield Texas on Dec 9th. Last it popped up on the tracking grid was Denver on the 16th. I want to barf every time that automatic ad comes up about our "US Postal" heros. And we were to rely on them for election...

Dave - I would make the cone shaped tops out of poster board. They grow a lot of Sugar Beets here in my area of Montana. I like your progress! :)

Since the topic of the Navy has surfaced again, I will show a picture of my Dad. That is him on the elevator - Navy Dive School #5. I have many more but won't post them publicly as I don't want them ending up on someone's Pinterest. ( I know registered members here are good guys) Lost my Dad...

Dave- Seeing your loads of wood reminds me of a story I read about one of the old Colorado Narrow Gauge railroads. On the Denver South Park & Pacific, they sided a gondola carrying coal during winter due to mechanical problems. When the railroad crew showed back the next day the gondola was...

Good morning - I hope this Fine Tuesday treats everyone well. BigG- I like the American Flyer and the Lionel set! 😍 Santa could put both of those under our tree. McLeod- You can still see the original surface of your bench, no cleaning needed there.

Crisp morning here in Montana, -13 degrees out. ( yes negative thirteen) I better eat an extra pancake today Willie- If doing hillbillies at the trailer I expect to see at least one Trans Am up on cinder blocks. Tom - Is that a Suydam kit balancing by the clamps? Patrick - So sorry to hear the...

Patrick - I read your posts with a heavy heart. That is total BS that you are not allowed to see your father. If the people that are making these selfish decisions had the same fate to face things would be different or the rules would be bent. If masks are effective - then let people make peace...
