Looking good. What's the grade that your tape measure is indicating?


The grade in the picture is about 5 percent.  I'm going by eye ball setting up the roads for the city.  I haven't settled on a street layout yet.

I started doing some testing of the HOn3 line with this newly acquired C-19. Does anyone recognize it?

The loco was probably before my time on here, but the rock work looks real. Well done.

Looks like one of Bob Hayden's C&DR locos.

Tom ;D 



The J. Mancuso loco. Bob Hayden's decals. Yes, I remember.

I bought it from one of our forum members that was changing gauges, again. ;)

John,

Do you also have the caboose?






Hi Tom


Yes, I also have the caboose.  The nice part about having a freelance layout is that I can buy beautiful equipment from any Railroad.

It pained me to part with those...I was only able to do it because it stayed in the "family"  ;) . Tom did a great job and the decals direct from Mr. Frary himself had a special meaning to me.


It would have pained me more to have it in a box in my closet forever.


Enjoy! It's a beauty...John

You know you have visitation rights.  I'd love to have you take it for a run on the S&S RR.

I finished the back shelf that will hold the baseboards for all the structures that will some day be a city (I still need to name it). I will close the center portion with a removable hatch that will allow for maintenance and access during the construction.  I will be updating the clay mock-up with the latest levels for visualization and an aid in structure placement. The original clay mock-up is actually pretty close to how it all turned out.

Definitely the work of an engineer. You could land a plane on that beautiful layout!  ;D


Great work John

Hi John


I read Howard Zane's book - he had one of his cities destroyed when someone leaned on the benchwork that was supporting it.  That shelf will hold me - field tested it.
