Got a permit for that bud??
Oh nice legs!!
Ken.
Nice temp Rex, did you make sure you had water on hand for the employee?
Hahaha! Yeah...ok, but a look of power...more power...arh...arh...arh . If you look hard, you can see how red my knees are. It's too hot for jeans, too hot for knee pads, so my knees catch the devil.
Ken, man that nail gun is a great as canned beer. I would be in bad trouble if I had to use the hammer for all this...and by myself.
Josh, I would have made GatorDave proud. I think I have drank about a case or more of Gatorade this week.
No, I don't..WHERE CAN YOU FIND IT THOUGH! I'd LOVE one of those!

I am leaving for Ohio next week for 6 days may have some proto pics when I get back. You all have a safe 4th of July and Happy Birthday America for our Independence. Thanks to all those who have and are serving our country...God Bless!
A long with the pretties comes the hard work. Here I am adding a room in the outer garage that adjoins the main room of my layout. I have my inclines and main to the city of Ashland out here and I have always had problems with the temps being very hot or very cold, but this will take care of it. As you can see from the photo of the thermometer, it's HOT!
First Photo: How about these for track tools? hammer or nail gun?
Second Photo: Yup! It is on the warm side.

Hey guys I thought I'd post some pics of my new train room 9.5' X 12' less the little bit where the closet is.
Small Huh?? I plan to build about 50" off the floor which is above the PC monitor and will allow some staging underneath.

Great work Rex,,, that was a fair old step down before you did this, great work Rex and in 100 degree's, nice.
Looking good Ken, with a bit of imagination it'll look great
not much happening today except raining and two steam excursions, this is "black 5" No 5407 passing my little town in a downpour, we were very lucky with the commuter train, it passed on our side just in time

the week at RJR
This week I have done some more work on the bridge / hidden siding ,ballasted the track and created the hardstanding base area.
View under the bridge into the depot to be...
The two track hidden yard is now lost and an area for non train scenery created
View off the bridge into the depot
A view off the entire layout, all 8' of it !
My new bachmann 37 on the hardstanding. The site of the depot to be..
I think Im going to start scratchbuilding the depot building next, over the two tracks at the right end where the 37 is stood.

Steve - nice scenery, your layout is really starting to blossom!
Rex - geez, at those temps I'm surprised your models don't melt! Glad you're fixing the problem
NZKen - I think you could have an excellent pike in that space, especially if you double-deck it. Probably need a duck-under or swinging gate by the door though...

The one in Steve's photo has been heavily modified. But with your talent at painting/weathering, I bet you could do the same thing quite easily!
