I did peel away the rubber rocks, but the trestle just got a karate chop  :P

Haha, I love it. There's a real freedom in doing that.

Although you could always have pulled it out and sold it as a Chris333 Original for $1000.

So the one little coal mine was torn out of another tiny layout I'd built. I stripped off all the trees and anything else that was worth keeping and now it's time for the trash.
...

Say whaaat? WTf? After how many pages?
You lost me...I don’t get it :?

I would've burned that mofo and filmed the process.   :D

This is a small 13x44" layout with very sharp curves. I liked the coal mine so I tore it and the surrounding scenery out and plopped it down on the newer 26x60" layout.

Tore it out of here:


And put it here:


The old layout could only handle very small locomotives.

Turnouts are less than $2 to build. Plus don't tell anyone, but neither of those work.  ;)

For reasons I cannot figure out I haven't touched the layout in about 2 weeks now. But here was a craptastic video I took back then.

Love that river scene, you really nailed that one.

There's a prototype for everything.
If you can't make it perfect, make it adjustable.
DCC is not plug-n-play.

Hey look I did something. Based on a bunch of Class A Climaxes, but totally made up.



It has one of those newer Kato drives under it.

Added a few details and cut my 3D journal pedestals off. Used Grandt Line C&S caboose ones. The journal box lid was a separate piece and well they didn't make it  :scared: so I put part of a NBW casting in the centers.

Just for fun I ran that B&W photo of the mill through the colorizer.
