He has big ambitions.

I said to use code 100 rail, not code 1000!

And now I have coffee spilt everywhere- wonderful pic, thank you [:D]

I might be wrong, but I seem to remember a MRR cover that had a shot like that a long time ago. Good Stuff!! [(-D]

November, 1968. Atlas/Rivarossi N scale USRA 4-6-2 and a short freight train.

BTW, that rail is more like code 10000.

Crappy backdrop. I mean…why bother?

7

I wonder if you stuck it under the driver of a 4-8-4 would the 4-8-4 be able to move? Looks taller than a penny.

Actually it is probably close to code 7313, but why quibble over a couple thou?

9

Is that DC or DCC?[%-)][:-^]

BTW—think title should’ve been — The Little Engine That Could[:-^]

Is that what you call double track monorail?

Honestly! This guy has some of the most prototypically realistic track I have ever seen and all you guys can do is talk about how he got the code wrong and his crappy backdrop etc…tsk tsk… ;o)

12

Makes me want to sit and wait for a real locomotive to come along and flatten the model.[:D]

13

Hehe, that would be pretty funny to see what i’t was like after some loco’s came over it, and then about 50 or so train cars, i wonder if you could still see it! Or maybe it would just be pressed into the rail… like one of those penny makers at Bass Pro Shop and Disney World and things… [:P]

Cool picture =)

It’s going to get squished, just like these crazy people, -

That would cause a short?LoL.

Guy’s got his trackwork down pat–wonder what adhesive he uses to bond those ties to the roadbed-but he is a little deficient in the scenery business; he needs to place an order with the Kalmbach on-line store.

I heard CSX was downsizing and all, but I didn’t think this is what they meant…

Or how about “Honey, I Shrunk the Trains.”

Where are those pizza cutter AHM flanges when you need them?
