They wanna go huntin' there - gotta be some mountain goats roamin' around there!
And the Ledbetters love goat meat!!!

I'm sure there will be many different critters running around in those mountains - it is all about the details.  When I finish this area we will send in a camera crew to see what they can find. Thanks for following the thread.

Looking spectacular, John!

John,

That Clinometer sure looks like a fun AP. I refuse to carry a phone and I can't seem to get one on my home landline!

Layout is looking very realistic.

Thanks, as for the phone, I hated it when I was working but now that I'm retired it has become a useful tool. The camera on my iPhone takes better pictures than my expensive SLR. We ended up getting rid of the land lines. I started out with the first cell phones because of my job - we called them bricks because they were so heavy and shaped like a brick. The batteries only lasted a few minutes when you were away from the car (that was actually a good feature when the boss was telling you something you didn't want to hear).

Tom, you could buy an iPod Touch.  All the apps of the iPhone but no telephone function :-)

The iPad works better than the iPhone for this application.

John and Dave,

I'll drop the landline one day soon but the number will be the Babe's cell number. If I ever do, which I doubt, get a cell phone it will stay on the counter and this is where I'll get the messages. Just like having a land line.

Today bents 15 and 16 for the Mt. Aiden Trestle were set in place.  I also included, as requested,  a picture from the aisle that shows the trestle from a little farther away. The trestle will end on the right side of the laser level.











These are definitely construction shots - so much for keeping the bench work free of clutter.

Hi there,

Fantastic trestle build and it´s a long way to go to the laser level.....But it will be one eyecatcher when it´s finished....

Great work.

Regards,Chris

The last picture could be a thread all by itself - 'The Requirements of Model Railroading' !!

Late to the party Tom, but you could also consider an iPad mini with or without the phone installed. Apps work across the whole Apple line, and it has a good sized screen for viewing whatever you want, email and messages included. Price is reasonable also.

Thanks Chris


Yes - there are a lot of sticks to be cut and glued to finish this trestle but I'm having fun with it.

Yes it could - how many tools and things can you put on the benchwork before the work comes to a halt.

Thanks for stopping by the thread - it is amazing how useful my iPhone/iPad have become in my modeling.  I also got a blue tooth speaker system for Christmas that plays the music on my iPad while I work.
