Hi Tom,

I like the progress that you have been making on your layout.  It is looking very nice.

I like the concept for the new area.  It's going to look great.  I can't wait to see Greg highballing  freight train through there.  You could video it and then play it in slow motion so it would appear to be going normal speed.   ;)

Jim,

Yes, I've hauled my share of filth - in the squad car. 8) 8)


Thanks for checking in.

He is trampling out the vintage where the Plywood Flat was stored,
He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His X-Acto Knife and Glue.
The Build is marching on".

Sorry for the paraphrasing, but I could not resist.

Great Job Tom

Jim


Jim,

There was a guy named Jim, I don't know what to do with him.
He wrote a nice poem, now I guess I owe 'em.

Great work  Tom. I like the idea of working from a prototypical scene. It's going to look awesome when it's done.


Curt,

It helps to have a picture of what I want done. I need to as my head is too full of a bazillion other ideas.

Bob,

Much appreciated, thank you. I ran a train through the sand hills and it is really going to be a nice scene.

Greg, I on a limited throttle pass at this time.

Jim,

Greg needs to be reprogrammed. Just like a loco. Next time he is over, the Judge and I will put him on the program track and push a few commands.

I've been adding spackle to the sides of the blue foam. So far I've used 3/4 of a gallon. For those living on Longwood, that's 3 quarts.

Just saying.



More in a few.

The spackle on the upper right still needs to be smoothed out.
