Re: On18 - Tyson Rayles - 01-02-2009 Pete check your PM's Re: On18 - eightyeightfan1 - 01-02-2009 Shoe box layout? That is cool. Looks like something you could make on a "shoestring" budget. Sorry....It was there...I had to use it... Re: On18 - Tyson Rayles - 01-03-2009 Yep it was pretty much made from scraps. Re: On18 - nkp_174 - 01-03-2009 Very fine work. You could have easily convinced me that it is Gn18 you did such a great job! Re: On18 - Tyson Rayles - 01-03-2009 Thank you nkp ! Re: On18 - nachoman - 01-04-2009 Excellent modeling, Tyson Here in arizona, there were quite a few 18" or 20" mine trams, with either electric or battery powered locos (or compressed air or fireless steamers). The hobby shop down the road has a nice diorama of a mine adit, ore cars, and an ore tipple for loading onto 3ft gauge - all in O scale. I considered a small On3 project for the sake of something different. I wanted to try my hand at a Grandt Line porter and converting some Bachmannn On30 to On3. I also considered an HOn30 project or an N scale project of building a small tabletop layout. But, remembering back, that is how I got into HOn3. And I still have at least two dozen unfinished projects on my bench, and a layout that doesn't have all it's track layed I think I need to be disciplined right now and finish what I started! Re: On18 - Tyson Rayles - 01-06-2009 Thanks Kevin! As far as this goes: "I think I need to be disciplined right now and finish what I started!" Join the club, we are all guilty of that !!!!

My wife gave me a couple nn3 kits for Christmas, and oh is the locomotive search interesting. Further, noticed that HOn2 is very close to z-scale Keeping one's focus is hard. It is almost better to avoid reading while working on a project. I don't need a Silverton RR combine, yet because I'm reading the Rainbow Route, it is calling me. Resistance isn't futile... Re: On18 - MountainMan - 01-06-2009 You've got my vote! Re: On18 - Tyson Rayles - 01-07-2009 I hear you nkp! Thanks MountainMan! |
