Howdy fellas    ....

Thanx Ron, thanx Curt(twice)...(I thought the same thing )....thanx Tom, thanx Larry C*., and thanx MJinTN;

I sure do appreciate all the compliments and comments, they are put to good use   .....Today (Sunday)- I decided to go a different route.... ...for some time I've been trying to decide how to add/install a std. gauge interchange track and just show the difference in size to the 'great unwashed'      ....but what's an interchange with only a boxcar?   .....so I grabbed my pencil and paper and started to sketch, but the more I drew the more complex it got    ... so tossed the paper and just started moving sh*t around     ....and I think it came out pretty damn swell     ....whadda ya think.......    

 

ahh....the power        
 

overview...........


thanx again for stoppin' by and ya'll come back now      ........see ya.......

Kyle, that looks great.  It fits the scene, although the standard gauge train kinda blocks some of the view of the NG beyond.  I would NOT change it, though.  I'd just generally position a standard gauge flatcar on that track :-)

It looks like it works Kyle. If you're happy with it then that's what matters.

Thanx Dave, thanx Curt;


The same thought crossed my mind Dave....but I couldn't find my flatcar     ..........

.......till this morning            ...it still needs a brake wheel      ......   



I'm very happy Curt ....I especially like the way the backdrop from the other side of the room shows up in photos when the shot is set up and composed just right         ...one of these days I'll figure it out.....but this'll do for now      


Thanx again ya'll....see ya ...

From time to time I'll remove the 4-6-0...     ...I like it in the scene though 'cause it looks cool ...     ...but the flatcar looks good by itself also...I think    .....?


Ya'll stay tuned and thanx again for checkin' in........see ya...

Yeah, the flatcar looks great parked there.  Looking at that 10-wheeler, is Casey Jones an engineer on the standard gauge?

[Larry C]

Dang Kyle that standard Loco looks HUGE. Nicely done and I agree with the others the flatcar looks great where it's at.

[Philip]

Looking good!

My thoughts were it doesn't ever have to be a frozen static display, as to how the area is featured. It could be any number of different loads coming in for the town, and therefore different types of cars bringing them in.

Or just as easily out going  product from local industries Change it up from time to time.

Within our miniature worlds, hopefully we example real situations because "life goes on"  We have all of eternity to become static. In the meantime, have fun with it!

Happy Thanxgivin' fellas          

Thanx Dave, thanx Larry C*., thanx Phillip, thanx 5thD2->     , and thanx Jerry;

I really like the way the interchange area looks, thanx for the input  .....
now on to a bigger project   ....one that's been "F"ing with me for a long time       .....here goes..

The "Arch" is too much   too tall, too long, too high, too intrusive ....so I fixed it      .....

Whadda ya think ?       ............

Too Much................

Take it away............

....fix it..............





This is the start of carving; I still have to glue it together, make sure all the 'seams' don't 'detract' and paint it        I just was really excited at how it looked and I thought I'd share the progress ...and see what ya'lls' thoughts might be    .....

Thanx again for all the comments and suggestions...ya'll come back now.....see ya.........

Kyle great job!! I think it's more to scale with the surrounding scene; much better.

[PRR Modeler]

Very nice Kyle.

[Pennman]
