Thanks for stopping by - I will be posting some pictures of the Quincy Mine, Smelter, and Stamping mill sites that I plan to build along with my layout tour photographs from the NG. I also managed to take a few pictures of the trees, rock formations and fall grass and foliage colors through the smoke.  I wanted to confirm my scenery colors on the layout. The smoke kind of hung just above the tree tops like a big cloud. Mountain pictures were not possible anywhere in the states of Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho, or Montana.

Thanks, Thom - A few more goodies from the Narrow Gauge Convention to store away and I will be back on it.

I got back to work on the Mackenzie build the last couple of days - building the roof sections.  George has loaded them with details - holes with the rafters showing etc.  They are a lot of work but I really like how they are turning out. Here are a few progress pictures.

The rafters are a really nice touch.

Tremendous work John! Am I to surmise that you will assemble those decks before staining/treating the wood? I thought that was a no-no, doesn't the glue potentially resist or at least alter the stain? (or do you just not apply it with a roller-like me )
