In the town of Newton on the WR&N IV:
A scratchbuilt fire escape:
A working barber pole:
A functional excavator:
Here’s a video of the excavator working: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6QsdXoTmmTM
My first couple of photos I did not take, and the layout was not mine, but the trains are.
And now a shot of some of my stuff on Vollmer’s layout:
And, of course, we can’t get by without some N narrow gauge:
Scratchbuilt Nn42 Dismal Swamp RR flat car.
I’ve been good friends with N Scale ever since N’s 12th Birthday Party!
Here are some from me,Njoy!!!
adios fer now, Wyatt
David K, the excavator is a brilliant work of engineering and imagination… Great stuff here… and yes, I can vouch, it’s all N scale! Who else has some N scale modeling to show? I’d like to see some more N trak modules, too!

Seems the one photo rule is shot to pieces, so here’s some of my favorites off of my photobucket.
(these last two are my first layout I got close to completing and also were taken back when both my camera skills were lacking and I didn’t have an airbrush (the NW diesel is factory paint)
Though I’m in HO, I’ve been watching and admiring N-scale for a number of years, and it’s remarkable to see the growth of the scale. And really gratifying to see the number of N-scale modelers who have produced layouts that are the equal of any other scale in detail and concept.
Cute story about N-scale. My Department Chair where I teach is an avid N-scaler. Two years ago he came into my office with his Kato “California Zephyr” to show me. We set it up on my desk. Ran it during lunch period. Amazing train. This year he came in with his “Coast Daylight”. I grinned and said, “Just leave it here, I’ll take care of it.” He stared at me, then cracked up. “Not on your LIFE!”
Believe me, you N-scalers often get absolutely astonishing things before we HO’ers do. [:P]
So, [bday] you people, and a great many more. Beautiful scale, and it’s just growing, growing, GROWING! [;)]

By doubling their content from one to two pages per issue!
Around about 1966 or 1967 Aurora had commercials on “Mr. Magoo’s Christmas Story” on TV. That year they advertised their “Postage Stamp Trains” and that’s where the bug bit me. Too bad now my eyes just aren’t up to it and I am in HO. Lots of memories, though.
Now that’s irony! Your eyes aren’t up to working on the N scale trains you saw while watching Mr. Magoo!
I wonder if the younger readers will understand why that’s funny!
Great story. Any more out there?
It’s not a ‘great story,’ but I got my start in N in 1967 with a Postage Stamp Train. Even though I’m modeling more in Z these days, I’ve not forsaken N by any means.
Hi again Lee,
An aerial shot of my now working project nearly finished, a kitbash of a Nscale Walthers ice house and platforms.
The ice house will include all the details for connecting her to the platforms.
I also modified in the same time this Walthers ash pit whith a new house to get her a less modern look.
See more pictures in the WPF february 6-7 post.
