There ya go, Jeff, a job you'd love. Sounds like the OP needs a layout refurbed. I'd enjoy something like that, but the commute would be a tad long. lol

Have him deliver it to you. Call him when you're done. Might relieve the monotony and frustrations of working on your layout. I know working on the layout for the nursing home revitalized me.

And it would give you another target for the 3# sledge hammer when you DO get frustrated!!! lol

Problem with that is I have no place to keep it. My trailer is only 8x25 and almost half that space is taken up by my layout. I have no storage buildings of any kind. I can give him suggestions on how to correct the problem in a step by step process if I know what's wrong.

Louisiana Model Railroad

Hello there from Louisiana, I wanted to meet some of you on this thread, I am new to the site. I currently have begun a layout in n scale in Dequincy, LA just south of you Jeff.
 
Nice to know there's another modeler close by. I used to go through Dequincy once a week back in the late 90's to pick up the Leesville Leader newspapers from Central Printing in Sulpher. I don't get down that way much anymore.
 


I was stationed at Polk back in the early 80's. I remember they had a hobby/computer/game store on the corner of 3rd and Texas. Spent many a day there playing Star Fleet Battles and looking at the layout along a side wall. Wasn't much of a hobby shop though, didn't have anything in stock, you had to order everything. Good old Leesville, how I miss it, yeah right, hehe.

Yeah, I remember that hobby shop. I found it down there soon after I got out of the army in 81. I was a member of the club there. The layout was a pretty good size but they had a grade on the back side of it that was a real loco killer. It climbed about 14 inches in just over 12 feet!. Only the heaviest locos could pull a load up it. Most were able to pull only 3 or 4 cars up it. The shop closed in the mid 80's. I bought a lot of Athearn equipment there.
