  1870s California in Sn3.5 - Reboot
Posted by: hminky - 08-19-2018, 09:30 AM - Forum: Narrow Gauge, Logging and Mining - No Replies

Ended this idea back in 2008. The lack of available easily made motive power and other supplies caused me to abandon the project.

With the availability of new items and information we are developing some new stuff.

Lightbulb CNR Caboose
Posted by: CNR5103 - 08-13-2018, 02:33 PM - Forum: HO Modeling - Replies (3)

Hi everyone,

This is my very first post in this Forum. About two years ago I was hit by a car building virus. Although I had assembled some Athearn BB and Accurail kits before, I wanted to build more complex projects. Over the last months I built a dozen kits from Tichy, Intermountain and Sylvan Scale. I also kit bashed two Accurail Boxcar kits. A friend wo saw the photos of those projects, recently suggested that I sould show them to a broader audience and suggested this forum.

So here are two photos of my last project, a Sylvan Scale CNR Caboose kit.

   

   

If it's not the right sub-forum to post in, Please let me know.

Mikey (ngauger) asked me to post this:

Quote:This is on facebook:

Hello everyone, Karen here. Sorry to say John passed away yesterday at 1:42 pm.
He has been suffering so much lately. The Doctors couldn't find anything wrong. They did all kinds of tests on him.

This is not the news that any of us wanted to hear. Our prayers are for him and his family. Just a tremendous loss.

Mikey is going to set up something in our fallen flags forum, as is our custom to honor those that we've know and respected for so long....

When I visit I get a message that there are (X) new posts. When I click I can see 5 and no way to view the rest is visible. After viewing a few of them the number disappears.

  NEW Updated Bachmann On30 Mogul with Factory Sound Video
Posted by: hminky - 08-02-2018, 03:02 PM - Forum: Narrow Gauge, Logging and Mining - Replies (1)

Have a video of the updated On30 Bachmann Mogul.



Am sure the question is "Is the updated version worth the price?"

Having done the conversion on an analog, price-wise:

 

Quote:All prices with shipping

Street Price of Update with sound $298.85  

Street price Analog Mogul $100.90

Connectors $6

Phosphor bronze sheet $6

Speakers $12

Tsunami 2 Total:     $108.81

Miscellaneous $15

Total $245.71

http://www.pacificcoastairlinerr.com/mogul_tsunami/

Worth the $50 for sound, having done the conversion, yeah.

  I'm coming Back ..... I Think
Posted by: OBJack - 07-28-2018, 12:11 AM - Forum: Layouts - Replies (7)

It seems all my ducks might now be in a row, and I can rejoin Big Blue.....If I'm allowed.  Icon_redface
I have been away for what seems like an eternity (although I have lurked somewhat). 
Many thanks to Charlie B who has stayed in touch during my absent years.

And to bastardise a famous  quote "Sometimes Life gets in the way of my good times" 

We have built a new train room, with house attached  Big Grin  , ( see the blog here  to waste some time,) and this has partly filled my time away from the hobby.

However back in the swing .....
Seeing as Photobucket has done the dirty I must now try to get the hang of attaching resized photos directly into the post.

Here Goes..  (me and technology don't get on ?)

 "The PistonBroke Line" is no more,

   
Going..

   
Going...

   
Gone!!

and the house that stabled it is also on the market.  The War Office and I have built a new room for the trains with a house attached.
For a full rundown on the build you can visit this Blog if you wish to read some pics and fill in time.[url=https://warmboardprojects.com.au/2015/10/][/url]

Meanwhile here are a few pictures of the new room.

   
The outside of my bunker

   
A few pictures of part of my work space/bench

   
.. and glass splashback

   

I may move slightly slower than I hope, but the intent is good.   Icon_e_biggrin
The room is a weird triangle sort of shape, so even tho a track plan is in the making, fitting it onto the benchwork could be the problem!

Hopefully it won't be to long before an update.
