    Re: Toll road scams... When we flew from Houston to Denver 2 years ago, the rental car had ez-pass; all tolls were paid. By the time we got back home, I had several messages warning me about unpaid tolls. Still getting them... "delete and report junk mail"

    The New Pine Flat Layout...

    On the advice of some veteran members, I'm starting a new thread for the Pine Flat layout. After going back through the old thread, most of it is no longer relevant so getting more or less a clean start. Theme is basically the same; freelance 1930s backwoods sawmill operation, but a different...

    Small Locomotives?

    Taken several months ago. All Bachman HO; 2-6-0, 4-6-0, Climax, 0-6-0T. All are DCC & Sound except the 0-6-0T, no sound. I've since added one of the newer 0-6-0 switchers. They'll get re-lettered and some weathering in the near future.

    When I was a young model railroader......

    When I was a kid, it was model airplanes. I think I started a small N scale layout when I was 30ish. Dabbled in it off and on. Finally got a little more serious about it in my 50s.
