Jim, good to hear from you, I really enjoyed visiting your layout!!! when you start operations I will have to make the trip again so I can operate your New Haven passenger terminal!! I was really impressed with your track work and hand laid turnouts, very impressive! Great job on the convention, I had a great time. Gordon

Ok, thanks!

No problem. This shell is pretty much just a prototype to see how everything would turn out, and I was quite pleased with everything on it.

I think you should perform 5 Wild Mary's as penance for not choosing a home road ;)

Honestly looks awesome!!! Whats the power chassis you're using? Saw your post over in the paint thread!

I realize I'm late to the "weekend" party, but it was deliberate so I could use this:


More K4s crap:





I made the junction box a bit large, but I can live with it. No one's going to see it anyways. It's N scale, amirite?  :trollface: :trollface:

Here's a Clerihew about Ed. K.

Ed Kapucinski
Every night, he plants a new tree.
But mention his law
and you've pulled your last straw!

Alternate version:
Ed Kapucinski
Every night, he plants a new tree.
He asks excitedly "Did you say Ménage à Trois?"
No, I said "Ed's Law."

What exactly is that thing? I've seen photos of K4s with and without them.

My weekend was a successful, productive, and all-round enjoyable one.

My mission was attending Old 97 Days in Danville, VA as part of the Eastern N Lines with the goal of gettig some serious greenery on my layout, of which by the good graces of Paul (160Pennsy) I was able to do so and do it well.
Of course, I also ran my Bachmann K4 some more, but it was only one of 5 or 6 that graced the rails this weekend. It was quite the sight to see two K4s passing each other on the high-iron.

As always it was great to get out and about, see folks I don't often see, and to put faces to names.

Heck, maybe I'll go down there again next year.

Wow, you're modding already? And the new car smell hasn't even worn off yet. Looks really good, are you stripping or painting over?
Never argue with idiots; they'll drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.
