Phobe Snow ? The Anthracite Route?


oops.... didn't look at the "links below" before I posted.

Finally, it's done. (And this time the gate arm lights flash correctly.)

Well, I’m not going to be the first to post a project after DKS comes through with those awesome N scale crossing gates and flashers.  No way.  Maybe I’ll wait for the next page.

What is the basis of the lights and gantry? Is it a kit or did you scratchbuild it?

Except for the gate arms, it's all scratch.

Next page ?  Maybe next week, especially since they were 96% scratch 

I've been dealing with a messed up lawn mower most of the week so I very happy not to have anything to post this week

Richie:  Is that the Nevada Northern wrecker that the WP, many years ago, upgraded with roller bearings?  They had to borrow it, for some reason, and could tolerate the archbar trucks, but insisted that it have roller bearings.  So, they installed adapters, and had what is probably the RB-equipped archbar trucks in the US.

Got the backdrop installed.



Working on trees now

Much progress on the structures in downtown Aberdeen was made this week.



More on The Carolina Sandhills Lines thread in the Layout Engineering forum.

Working on trees now 

By “working on trees,” I assume that means you’re stripping trees off of another one of your layouts that you retired.
