LOL That spelling derives from the fact that the other spelling wasn't available. LOL (There is a long story behind it, though.)

I love 'bikes' too, unfortunately, I'm a sissy and don't have the strength to hold one up. :cry:

Yup, we do have some big trees out that way... Big enough to drive a car through... :wink:

That doesn't necessarily make you a sissy, you're just physically challenged. Ya know, they make trikes, which is what I'll go to when I get older. Not quite the same, but you're still in the wind.
Have a good weekend,
Norm

Don't tempt me, Norm. I know about trikes. LOL And I've seen some beauties... :wink:


Here's an overall shot of all 6 boards, or most of all 6 anyway, lookin' north. The route is about 3 miles long with lots of things to do.

Have fun, I am... :D

Heck with a trike, how bout an ATV! 8) I'm really looking forward to this one! Will it have stagecoaches, too?

Well, I guess it could have stagecoaches. I'm not using any vehicles as of yet.

I've also rerouted the track a bit to show off the 'new' lake area some. I'm now also considering running more NG to bring some rock up from the lake to be used as ballast. Curtis' new 30" stuff will do that nicely. Hmmm...

:D

Yeah, I'd like a bit more NG so I can run bdaneal's NG engines on it! 8) [/quote]

Well, in that case, I'll have to go with 3 foot NG if you want to run Ben's stuff. Hmmm... :D OK, I can do that. :wink:

Maybe, just maybe I can please everyone. :lol: :lol: :lol:

wow... that looks real nice, I never can stick and work on one route for more than a week, so all mine are half finished, LOL! Keep up the good work!

Thanks, Sam.

Well, I do 'lay' it down and take a few days off occasionally. It isn't something I would want to do for a living. LOL I just took the last week off to play another game called, 'Faces of War'. It's more of a strategy/tactic war game where speed isn't all that important to win with.


Here's another shot I liked. I enhance the signalman's green light;

C'mon Rick, quit teasing. I saw your mention of this route on your web page, and I thought "all right a new route to try out" but no luck. You're killing me! :lol:

Well, guys, things keep popping up that I want to add. He, he, he. I may even have to add another board! I'm also concidering changing out all the track to 3 foot... :roll: I've had my fun with standard gauge and may go batty with narrow gauge next. LOLOLOL.

Do you know the shortest way to make it 36" ?
