    It would be running on the main line. Probably used and abused by the railroad.

    Thanks for coming back Jim! My dad will be 78 soon as well. He's on the mend at the moment, but he should be back walking the dogs at the service dog organization soon.

    Dave's Saucer City

    This is so cool I had to revisit it. It's such a neat, out-of-the-box idea.

    Stop me before I kitbash another locomotive!

    It's all metal. I think there's some brass in the cab.

    Stop me before I kitbash another locomotive!

    Great job on the Prairie conversion! The body on the 0-4-4-0T is pretty narrow, so I think only the rear truck could be powered. Even so, the articulation messes with the available room. I think there's enough room in the coal box to put a small decoder. Either way, I don't have the talent to...

    Stop me before I kitbash another locomotive!

    I've got an 0-4-4-0T that I purchased several years ago. It appears to have been made from two Lindsey 0-4-0Ts. I've been looking for someone to convert it to a can motor and DCC. My efforts wasted a bunch of $$ and accomplished nothing.:mad:

    Working on a New Layout

    Gotta start the kids young! Mine didn't really latch onto it. Although they still occasionally like running a Bachmann Spencer (one of my best running locomotives, BTW) on the layout with some of the Thomas cars.

    [H0] L-shaped layout project

    The toughest part about selecting a layout design is to figure out what works for you. Get some snap track and try it out. See if you like it. It's all about personal preference.

    Kemtron locomotives

    Your best bet is to look at the archived catalogs on HOseeker.net. That will give you a ballpark idea.

    Little big layout

    I was thinking a few aliens and a saucer.😆

    There's a prototype for everything - using an old grain car to load trucks

    The center of gravity seems awful high up to me. I'd be afraid it'd topple easily. There are hints of a metal structure supporting it, but still...

    East Penn Railroad Switching Layout

    The undecided portion could be a continuation of the Octorora Branch of the PRR. Throw in Herrs, Rising Sun and then Rowlandsville! I live pretty close to the old Rowlandsville village.

    Beautiful boat Jim! Must've been an incredible adventure. Glad to hear you're on the mend.
