Backwoods NE in Florida

[Janbouli]

This land grab signals the end of my n scale forced perspective experiment. I now have a handful of n scale built up craftsman kits for sale and a couple of nice boats and bunches of vehicles, etc. If you know anyone, let me know. Sorry Jan, you're on your own brother.

John

Sad to hear this John .

Do you have a list of the boats and vehicles and maybe you also still have some unbuilt structures? The built structures are great but would be a shipping problem.

Jan,
I'll do a little inventory and, if there's some interest, we can definitely work out a tremendous "Forum Discount" with the understanding that someday, when I come that way, you'll be my guide to Ontrax (did I get that right?)

Good carpentry day today...new corner framed in. Much of the styrofoam will be cut away to reveal the bay. When track is decided on, I'll put down homasote in the areas around and under the track. That may be a while as I am very much undecided how best to lay out the area which will feature Fos' Printers Row and Bar Mills Cundy Harbor up front. I may even wait until well into next year, so I can really study Doug's display (and hopefully Bar Mills' too) at the Expo to help me figure out how to lay it all out. I'll probably fiddle with it a bit more and then go back to other projects on the layout.

Great to see new benchwork and layout expansion - I enjoy the design work as much as the building.

John - You might want to check with Artie to see if he has a schematic for the foot print of Cundy Harbor.  He was able to send me one foe Cundy Village.  Jim

Great idea Jim. I actually cut out some cardboard for the rough dimensions of Printers Row and was pondering asking Doug for ANYthing he has...drawings, sketches, etc to play with. I've copied and cut up Bar Mills directions in the past to make full size mockups.

Seems like a very good idea John.

Jan,
I've been a little sidetracked. I'm thinking I'll hold onto my little collection of N scale finery. I've got a nice fish tank in the living room that I'm sick of cleaning. When the lone inhabitant goes to the great toilet in the sky. I may just insert a little diorama.


Also, who can spot what's missing?

Hey Bob.....l'll see your two and raise you one!

On this day, I'm thankful that I have the ability to rip down a perfectly great layout and start over because I think I can do better!


More to come soon. Building salvage has been a complete success...one to go!

John,

I want to apologize for the sickness I seemed to have passed on to you. You have been around to many of my layout redos. For that I'm sorry.

However, on the good side, you'll be much happier when you find the right look and for that I'm not sorry!

Tom
